Harry you might consider the Dominican Republic or Sandals Negril
Jamaica. I don't know if there's a Sandals in Costa Rica. Aside from
the beaches, there's the whole ecotour thing that is fabulous. As for
spas there's a great one several miles from Mt Arinal. The volcanic mud
baths are sooo relaxing although very hot at first. There are real live
parrots in rainbow colors flying everywhere.

hey brian

great post and full of excellent pointers, I will certainly check up on
these ideas. We went to Belize in 1996 but I broke my ankle after only 4
days, the place looked great from the air ambulance though

thanks again
