Zephyr Palace
Royal Suite, Zephyr Palace, Jacó, Costa Rica; 506-2637-0505; zephyrpalace.com. There are seven suites, ranging from $450 to $1,500. The Royal Suite is $1,200.
After arriving at Zaphyr Palace, you might just cancel your jungle canopy tour. The 300-acre hilltop property's location within dense Costa Rican rain forest assures your proximity to local flora and fauna. From the spacious European-style Royal Suite, a 1,500-foot descent takes you through a vibrant kingdom of frangipani, heliconia, and jasmine down to coves and a private volcanic beach on the Pacific (but please give the honeymooners their space). Your toughest decision: watch the sunset over the Gulf of Nicoya while perched in the Greek-style amphitheater, or soak in the infinity pool? If you do venture beyond the property, hit a laid-back bar or two in the nearby surf town of Jacó, or commune with macaws in the Carara Biological Reserve, eight miles away. They're up in the canopy.
