Why We Love This Deal
This Member Days offer ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on Monday, Nov. 9.
Trade the cold for 6 nights (or more) in Costa Rica, where adventure and relaxation go hand in hand. Spend the first part of your trip surrounded by Arenal’s tropical wilderness, then head to Tamarindo for a change of pace, with beachside restaurants, colorful sunsets and time to unwind. Airfare and a rental car are included, so you can make the journey between these two destinations part of the experience. This offer includes dates during dry season, which span from December through April.
Packaging this vacation yourself would normally cost up to $1278, but only Travelzoo Club Members pay $589.
