3 Days in Costa Rica...overwhelmed by options
I just found out I'll be traveling to Costa Rica for work in less than two weeks and I'm taking 3 vacation days after to relax but I'm a little overwhelmed by the options. If possible I'd like to see the cloud forests of Monteverde and spend a day on the beach. I'll be starting from Alajuela and leaving from the San Jose airport. Is this possible or do I have to choose between mountain or beach? Any itinerary suggestions?

Arenal is more spectacular though really too little time.

I would head for Manuel Antonio. It is one of the closest beaches to the San Jose area and also a National Park that has a lot to offer. www.manuelantoniopark.com
The alternative is to head for Arenal - about 3 hours from the airport. www.arenal.net
I would not try to visit two locations - just takes too much time to get around. Next time, you can have an extended vacation and see more of Costa Rica.
