Costa Rica travel tips from a friend

We went to:
1.       Arenal / La Fortuna
a.       Here we stayed at Arenal Springs Resort, clean, friendly, green, beautiful, amazingly beautiful view of the volcano
b.      We did a day hike to the hanging bridges
c.       We did a day trip to Cano Negro / Rio Frio boat trip, long drive but worthwhile, got to see a lot of wildlife
2.       Monte Verde
a.       Drive from Arenal to Monte Verde was over an unpaved road.
c.       We did a night hike, a very unique experience
d.      We did zip lining at Selvatura, out of the world, longest cable is 1 Km
3.       Playa de Flamingo
a.       Beaches, very few people
b.      Here we stayed at Flamingo Beach Resort

This was during Apr. Some friends also went to Manuel San Antonio (if I remember the name correctly).
