I have adjusted my itinerary as follows, and i need some feedback once again!

...where should we stay that is close to the airport and cheap - we fly out @ 8:00am on a sansa flight to Tambor the following morning?

May 3rd - Fly to Tambor early morning
- Catch bus to Montezuma
- Stay in Montezuma 3/4/5th

...what is the camping like on the beach?? Or should we stay at Pension Lucy?

May 6th - Catch bus to Malpais (what time?)
- Stay in Malpais 6/7th

...Where should i stay that is relatively cheap?...what about camping??

May 8th - Catch bus to Samara (what time?)
-stay in Samara 8th

May 9th - Catch Fantasy bus @ 2:00pm to Manuel Antonio (...what time does it arrive?)
- stay in Ml.Antonio 9/10th

...where should we stay that is cheap in Manuel Antonio and is on the beach?

May 11th- Catch Fantasy bus @ 6:30am to Arenal (...what time does it arrive?)
- Stay in Arenal 11/12th

I'd drop Samara from the itinerary. It takes too long to get there (and in the opposite direction from your next destination, Manuel Antonio) to go there for one night (or even two nights). I believe it would be your least impressive beach location, anyway. Anyone else?

This time of year, I think it would be safe for you to "wing it". Find places to stay once you arrive on the advice of the locals. Hotels will then be able to furnish information about your transportation and help make arrangments.

Yah, after looking at other reviews i am dropping Samara...i think the extra day will be best used for Manuel Antonio...
Any other advice?

As far as hotels near the airport, I have heard the Hampton Inn is pretty affordable and nice. That's where we are staying our last night next month since we have a really early morning flight home and won't really have time to explore San Jose anyway. Not really a charming local experience, but it's cheap and convenient. That said, I am not sure if Sansa flights are out of the main San Jose airport or the smaller airport closer to the city.
