We are planning a family trip to Costa Rica in the early summer of 2017, for my son's senior year family trip. I would like to find a nice resort (preferably a timeshare trade) that is at least comparable to the HGVC/Marriott timeshares that we usually vacation at, and I am leary of RCI due to a not so great experience at a so-called Gold Crown resort last year (plus the fact that I know very little about Costa Rica, except that is where my son has his heart set on for the trip). We will have at least 5-7 family members in our group, so we also need place that is large (3 bedroom or more).
Aside from the quality of the resort/timeshare, we want to be within an hour of a good marina for deep sea fishing (the main reason our son chose Costa Rica is its reputation as a gamefishing world destination), and a similar distance from a good SCUBA dive boat location. We also need the resort to have a nice sand beach that is walking distance from our resort (preferably the resort would be on the beach). I will be taking off for fishing at least a few days with my son, so I also want a place where I can feel safe to leave my wife and young children alone, without a vehicle, while they hang out at the beach or shop.
I would appreciate any recommendations on (1) best locations within Costa Rica given what we are looking for, and (2) recommended timeshares that I should focus on for trading.
