Today, I'll highlight five of our best-selling all-inclusive resorts in Costa Rica. The Central American country is a haven for travelers who love nature and outdoor adventure; roughly a quarter of its territory is preserved as national parks or conservation areas. Travelers will find misting rainforests, smoking volcanoes, crashing waterfalls and pristine beaches here. Hummingbirds hover at hibiscus flowers, howler monkeys bellow from the treetops and iguanas may lounge in the sun not far from your poolside chair.

The resorts below are in the northwest Pacific coast province of Guanacaste. The upfront rate at each hotel includes meals, snacks, alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, entertainment and nonmotorized water sports. Click the links to price a stay at any of them, with or without airfare.

Riu Guanacaste (5 stars) -- Situated between deep-green hills and the beach, this resort has multiple dining venues and bars, a spa and a fitness center. For extra pampering, choose a Jacuzzi suite with an ocean-view hot tub on the terrace. The Guanacaste province has several national preserves; you might consider an excursion to Rincon de la Vieja, home to hot springs, sloths and spider monkeys.

Dreams Las Mareas Costa Rica (5 stars) -- Lodging options here include swimout suites with access to a river-like pool that winds through the property. The Explorer's Club for ages 3 to 12 provides supervised activities, including a weekly beach campout, while Core Zone for ages 13 to 17 hosts bonfires and dance mixers. Offsite excursions like ziplining and whitewater rafting can be arranged.

Occidental Papagayo (4 stars) -- This no-kids resort is spread across more than two dozen buildings tucked into a lush hillside overlooking Culebra Bay. All rooms have balconies or terraces. Guests can lounge by the pool surrounded by palms, indulge in a massage at the U-Spa, go kayaking and sample several restaurants and bars.

Riu Palace Costa Rica (5 stars) -- This tropical retreat offers four swimming pools, a swim-up bar, a gym, tennis courts, windsurfing, kayaking and snorkeling. Other perks include 24-hour room service and an in-room beverage station. The on-site dining scene includes specialty restaurants that focus on Italian, Japanese and other cuisines.

Planet Hollywood Costa Rica (4.5 stars) -- As part of its "PHit" philosophy, this resort offers an extensive menu of fitness classes and activities, from sunrise and sunset yoga, TRX training and kickboxing to boot camps, ab workouts and a beach obstacle course. Restaurants include the So Cal Gourmet Food Emporium, which dishes up Korean fusion delights, tacos and more.
