Squirrel monkeys swing by at breakfast while iguanas bask with visitors by the pool, and true nature lovers can even spy on sloths at the nearby Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio. Thrill-seeking honeymooners may even be satisfied, as all of the requisite Costa Rica adventures – zip-lining, white-water rafting, kayaking and extra – are simply past your doorstep. Seek out the crumbling 16th-century ruins of Panamá Viejo – a part of the original metropolis – as well as the rollicking nightlife of Calle Uruguay. Visitors can drive west to see the ingenious lock system of the world-famous Panama Canal. Its seven nations provide some of the world’s most sought-after destinations. History buffs may have a hard time selecting between Maya ruins and colonial cities.
