Along the pacific coast is a village called Ojochal. It is a community melting pot of folks from all over the world who have made it there home. There are several great beaches nearby and great places to eat as well. There are never a lot of "tourist" but you can find others that speak English and recommend things to do and places to see.

There are waterfalls you can take horse rides to, national parks not far away, zip lines in the forest that are great fun, caves to explore, fish for your own dinner, see ponds full of crocs, and take in local soccer games and kariokee with the local Ticos.

A quaint hotel that is affordable is El Perezoso Hotel, that you can find on the net. When staying in San Jose, check out Brilla Sol (also found on the net)...a GREAT place near the airport, run by a wonderful family. They'll pick you up right at the airport. You'll get a lovely typical breaksfast in the morning and help you arrange further travels.

I would fly Sansa (you can book it online) to Quepos and stay there a night or two, visiting Manuel Antontio national park..it is awesome.

There you can rent a car and just drive down the coast to Ojochal.

It would be a great trip! have fun!

There is no best, but Taca is usually nice and cheap, if you can connect. American also has a lot of good connections.
If you want to get away from a LOT of tourists, you could go to the Caribbean coast, and Playa Negra, anywhere south of Puerto Viejo de Limon (tourist hub), there are lovely, remote beaches with low-key accomodations
The Northwest coast is also gorgeous.
Many times, when you get away from the tourists in Costa Rica, you also get away from any amenities, so be prepared for that.
If you're into eco-tourism and the rainforest, go to the Osa Peninsula, though that's not necessarily cheap. Remote and very beautiful.
Be aware that the rainy season is from May/June to about October and you will get very wet.

You should go to the beaches, volcanoes and rain forest and after that you should go Party in the Bus Night Tours.

There's a place in Manuel San Antonio called La Mansion. Google it for a look. A place that luxurious in the US would cost a fortune, but it's roughly the price of a Best Western in the U.S. if you go the right time of year.

In the San Jose area, there's an awesome bed and breakfast called Villa Escazu. One of the most beautiful buildings I've ever been in...
