I would recommend coming down here anytime from mid december to march, that's when the summer time starts here. The funny thing is that summer is the cold season and winter is the hot one, reason being that one of summer's characteristics is the wind, it gets very windy, so its a very nice combination of sunny days but with a cold breeze. Also don't get me wrong, cold isn't like the cold people are used to in the US, its still warm and nice hehe.
About La Fortuna, its definitely worth visiting, I would say at this time of the year is when you have the highest changes of seeing a lava flow since the volcano's peak should be clear of clouds. Go to Baldi hotsprings instead of Tabacon (which is the famous one), Baldi is cheaper and in my opinion nicer, or you could se about staying at a hotel with access to the river.
Hope this helped!

We went last year in the beggining of march and it was BEUTIFUL weather, hot but not to hot. But still really hot. It was perfect.

It's hot year round but it's better to go during the dry season from December to April. If you go during the rainy season from May to November it will be more humid in addition to raining more often but it should be cheaper and less crowded. Early December or April might be your best bet.
