If you are a family that is up for a bit of adventure and want a holiday that is different than an all inclusive type of vacation San Juan del Sur in Nicaragua is a funky little beach town. There are many beautiful beaches North and South of town and some really great affordable options for vacation rentals. Food, alcohol and activities are very affordable.

It takes more than 8 hours to get to Costa Rica unless you fly direct to Liberia with westjet. Some parks are still closed and some roads are being repaired. I think Monteverde area and maybe Manuel Antonio are open again.
