I am off to Costa Rica in 2 weeks courtesy of a trip from work. I did some research and came up with the Villas Rio Mar, on the Pacific Ocean side of Costa Rica.

It was very reasonable at US$70.00 a double. There is a great website at http://catalog.com/calypso

You can search by region and find a lot of great accommodations and info. Be aware that you fly into San Jose which is in the middle of the country, and most of the resorts are on the coast. I have been told to expect a 4-5 hour drive to get to most of them....

Cheers from Cleveland!
