Regarding your questions: Nadine gave you some good hotel recommendations. Your question regarding the rain can be answered by saying that in November you have a 99% chance of rain as the rainy season ends about mid-December; however, a lot of days are sunny in the morning with a heavy shower in the afternoon but it will all depend on where you are. Since you only have 4-5 days, and will probably spend most of it in the Central Valley, these are the conditions you will more than likely encounter. If you head to the Carribean coast, then expect more rain. You will LOVE CR! I have been there twice, once for 2 weeks and the second trip for 3 weeks. I can hardly wait to get back. I hope you have a fantastic vacation!
