| Costa Rico. LaFortuna/Arenal are amazing and they have incredible resorts. Do you really need a beach? Lots of awesome resort pools, hot springs and streams. There is so much to do in the country but getting around takes a long time. |

| Agree with Costa Rica. We really enjoyed Tulemar at Manuel Antonio. It has its own private beach and lots of nature/wildlife on the property, including sloths. If you want a true jungle experience, head to the Osa Peninsula. We've stayed at both Copa de Arbor (higher end) and Anguila de Osa (more rustic). |

Costa Rica isn’t known for its beaches, fwiw.
I’d opt for Puerto Rico and I wouldn’t limit myself to one resort and jungle trip. |

We did this in Belize. Our 3 resorts were:
Lamanai Outpost lodge (2 nights). They picked us up from airport and drove / boated us to the lodge. They also arranged our later flight to San Ignacio. San Ignacio Resort (3 nights). They arranged ATM and cave tubing and Belize Zoo. Phoenix Resort (3 nights). They arranged our flights to AC and later to the airport for our flights home. |
