costa rica luxury hotels

Can I get some suggestions on a one week vacation for 2 to costa rica?
I would like to stay near or on the beach and try surfing, but I would also like to try the canapy tour and maybe check out a volcano. Where is a good place to stay to get around to all these places easily?
I’m not really looking for a big city, and I’ve been reading not great things about San Jose.
Also how is transportation? is it easy to get around or should I think about renting a car?
and I don’t need a luxury hotel. I’d like to spend around $100 a night.
what do you think?
Just enjoy it!
It’s a wonderful country
