My father wants to take my brother and myself and my brother's family and maybe my dad's girlfriend if she wants to go to Costa Rica in the next year. But I think he's a little overwhelmed with life in general and hasn't really planned anything. My brother and I were talking about it today and my brother's been there before and he loves it. I've never been I don't really care to go but I'm going to go because I want to see the kids have fun and hopefully we'll all make some memories together.

Any of you know of any all-inclusive resorts with villas that are close to a beach and volcanoes? I would be interested in doing a volcano tour and maybe a swim at the beach. I think we would go for about 5 days.

The villa would be because my brother and his son would take a room, his daughter and wife would take another room, I would have my own room and my dad would have a room with himself and or his lady. The kids are all so teenagers so they're going to want to do teenager stuff. They don't want to hang out with us boring old adults. That being said I don't want them to run off with local boys and girls to get in any trouble but then again also tourist boys and girls either. But that's more my brother's problem to handle with the family supporting his decisions. Any advice or experience you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

The first thing you want to figure out is do you want to go to the Pacific coast or the Gulf of America Coast.

Which side is nicer? Which side can you access a volcano tour easily?

I am getting a strange feeling you are going to throw someone in said volcano.

I never been but know folks that have. Rent a house. Rent a cook. Rent a driver.

Everything runs on money, and it don’t take much.

If you so much as fucking mention helicopter rides I know I wasn’t off base.

Oh also, I remember one thing a buddy said, they are dead serious about sex travelers. Signs and shit about not doing it. They don’t want you thinking you can find a whore because shit is cheap.

Yeah my plan is to not go down there and have sex with a whore. My plan is to drink a beer on my chaise lounge and look at the ocean. Maybe try to flirt with a couple of swedish or Norwegian ladies. Go for a swim in the ocean once or twice, go look at a volcano (just the base I really can't hike far anymore).

My brother wants to take his family on all these wild daily trips. So they'll probably run off the whole time and only come back at night. So I'll be stuck with my father at the resort. But I do agree with you about getting the house. I think they want an all-inclusive resort though but I'm not sure because there's also talk about going out to eat. I'm kind of doing my own research separately seeing my brother brought it up but he's useless as tits on a man when it comes to any type of organizing anything. His wife puts everything together but I honestly don't really like her so I wouldn't be working with her to do this.

What I'd really like to do and I've been looking around for is a villa on an all-inclusive resort. All I've been able to find though though are suites and that's only three bedrooms. And so that leaves me sleeping on the couch for a week. Which while I'm not totally against I'm also at the mercy of everybody 's schedule. I found a company that manages a bunch of villas but you're on your own for planning excursions and I just know how that will end up. I think they're looking for going to the concierge and then booking a white water raft tour for the next day and getting on a bus and having the bus take you there with the other tourists from the hotel.

The entire country is pretty small, but if you have to travel down winding jungle roads, travel time can suck. The 2 coats are pretty different, rugged and wild on the Pacific side, probably better for surfing. The Gulf side is a lot more calm with sandier beaches.

Having said that, if you are only planning on doing a volcano tour and spending the rest of the time on a beach, then I would say find the tour you want, then finding a resort closest to the tour, that is the kind of place you want to stay at.

A very good point. I've got to figure out what I want to do there. And my brother's got to figure out what he wants to do there. Then we have to figure out what accommodations meet somewhere in the middle. And the accommodations have to fit everybody's needs. I'll sleep on a couch I have no fear but no one else is going to do that. If my father doesn't bring his girlfriend he's going to want me to sleep in the same room which I absolutely do not want to do because he snores so unbelievably loud it's traumatizing.
