best destinations - central america

This may sound like a vague question, but - can anybody recommend a destination in central america? We're a young couple after culture, beautiful beaches, good food, relaxation, lots of sightseeing - we love natural landscape, - not really the backpacking type though we're q flexible with budget as we want an almost honeymoon experience! - we do like a bit of luxury! :)

You don't say how much time you have which would impact my recommendations. I'll assume you have at least 2 weeks and recommend Guatemala combined with Belize or Honduras for blue water. Roatán has nicer beaches than what we've seen in most of Belize, though the beaches at Tranquility Bay are pretty gorgeous and we loved being able to flyfish unguided and snorkel from shore there. Loads of photos and recommendations below. Happy planning!

Most interesting culture...Guatemala
Best beaches...Belize or Honduras
Good food...IMHO food is average everywhere in CA
Relaxation...anywhere outside the big cities
Natural landscapes...anywhere in CA.

Plenty of possibilities!

Costa Rica gets my vote, Monteverde is my place of choice if I could live anywhere in the world!
