Honeymoon in Costa Rica
I need help planning my honeymoon in costa rica. We are going for 10-12 days. We want to go to Arenal, Manuel Antonio, and then the Four Seasons up in the Guanacaste (sp?) area. We want to end at the Four Seasons. Where should we start and how many days should we spend at each. Also, are we missing out by not going to Monteverde? Lastly, we are going in Nov - is it really rainy then or not? Thanks in advance for the help!

November will be a great time for you to be in CR. Especially in Guanacaste when the rain (it's drier there, anyway) will be letting up, but everything will be gloriously green.
I'd fly in and out of Liberia if you plan to do Arenal first and end with Four Seasons. This particular order is about as good as it gets if you are intent on ending at Four Seasons. It is very close to the same distance to get to Arenal from either Liberia or San Jose.
Another option (but not ending at Four Seasons) is to fly in and out of San Jose, go 3 hours to Arenal, then 3-4 hours to FS, 4 hours to Manuel Antonio, and 3 hours return to San Jose.
If you put FS at the end of the trip, no way will you avoid the 6 hour transfer between Arenal and Manuel Antonio.

Thanks for the advice and congrats! Couple more questions. If we decide to do Monteverde instead of MA because of where it is, are we missing out on something? Can we fly into Libera, do Arenal ,then Monteverde and then FS? I thought I posted a reply aready but didn't see it so sorry if this is a repeat.

Sure, that's do-able. For that itinerary, you can still fly into either place with ease. If you fly into San Jose, you'd want to end up at Monteverde. So you can compare the prices for flying into Liberia vs. San Jose, then weigh that info against how badly you want to end up at FS.
Main advantage to ending at FS is that you can probably get to the airport the day of your flight rather than the need to return to the airport area the night before like is common when you are flying out of San Jose.
I'd opt for flying in and out of Liberia and ending with some major relax time at FS just as you are planning!
