Vacations can be fun if you have your family with you. Perhaps, nothing could be much better than getting off work together with your spouse and your children. But it can also become a hellish experience, especially when the kids start to make tantrums and what-nots that can make your vacation extra-inconvenient for everyone. I mean, why take a vacation (a break from work) when you'll get worked up with your kids' annoying behavior?
Fortunately, here in Costa Rica, there are a number of hotels and other venues that you can go to in order to make your vacation as family-friendly as possible. Your children won't get bored and you'll have the peace of mind that you deserve. These hotels are big and spacious enough to give you a family-friendly atmosphere, while the other venues provide your kids with the chance to know more about the environment surrounding them.
The hotel that comes to my mind right now is The Springs Resort and Spa, located near the Arenal Volcano. This big hotel provides you with the view of the Arenal Valley and a side of the majestic Arenal Volcano. Aside from mountains and valleys, you'll also be surrounded by lush tropical gardens and waterfalls that won't make you feel that you're near some jungle at all. With 3 hot springs, jazuzzis, and spacious rooms, I doubt if your kid will ever whine at all. Of course youc an also expect that this comfort comes with a price--and a steep one at that. For more information, visit the hotel's official website here.
Meanwhile, for more adventure, you can then try out visiting Monteverde Cloud Forest for a whole day of jungle adventure. Try out the ziplines and let your kids explore. They're perfectly safe, while the venue, though about 4 or 5 hours away from the capital, is definitely worth going to.
Whatever your plans for your family vacation are, make sure that you'll have fun. Kids get bored easily, so always do something that will test their energies.
