Costa Rica is the shit. Depending on where you're at, depends on what to do.
Dominical: Go to the Hatua Park
Dominical: Visit Mike and Pete at the Surf Shop, they are cool.
Dominical: Eat at the only nice ass restaurant in the area, trust me, someone can show you where it's at. There's another great "mexican" place on the "strip" with all the young Costa Rican village girls working there, and a neat seating area made form VW vans.
Dominical: Sit on the beach for at least a day, and surf if you're into that.
Dominical: Go to Delicious Cafe for breakfast and get the pineapple juice with apples. It's crazy good.--
Manuel Antonio: Go to the Blue Monkey and watch hundreds of monkeys dig through the trash and get drunk on left-over alcoholic drinks.
Manuel Antonio: The beach here is spectacular. The surfing is dangerous as shit though--
Arenal: Volcano. Hot springs. Mandatory.

If at any point you can visit a farm house, either through a horseback ride, a wildland tour, etc, do it. They are awesome if they are not run down, and the owners will feed you the best meal you've ever had in your life, for free.
I went to Costa Rica last year, and I loved it. I would kill to live there, but I guess it would get boring after a while.
San Juan sucks. Stay away.
Hatillo is cool. Kind of shady though. Kind of place you would definitely get stabbed on the streets after-hours just for being a tourist.
Pilsen > Imperial. Pilsen is decent, Imperial is the asshole of Costa Rican beer.
