Cool Spa in Costa Rica

Posted Wednesday, June 20, 2007 9:48 AM

Check out this spa in Costa Rica -- it's the Tabacón Grand Spa Thermal Resort, a five-star property with twelve natural hot spring pools and lagoons, right at the foot of Arenal Volcano. I spent a few days at Arenal a couple years ago and it's a really amazing setting -- at night you can see lava flow from the peak, and the nearby lake is world-renowned for windsurfers. The coolest thing about a trip to a place like Costa Rica is that you can split your time between the jungle (at a spa in the jungle, no less), and then head to the coast and sit on the beach. Anyone have suggestions on places to go and sights to see in Costa Rica?
