I searched the site and didn't see much so I wanted to ask..

We did Tamarindo about 5 years ago with the family but the wife and I are wanting to go back to CR later this year and wanted to check on places further north of Tamarindo so we could still fly into Liberia.

Seems like there is a lot to chose from on VRBO, etc.. Does not have to be on the beach but would like to be close. Also not interested in an all inclusive.

Does anyone have a favorite place or suggestions. Will be renting a car while we are there.
