If you like tropical but not all that interested in water activities I would recommend costa rica. Its way more interesting than Hawaii, they have a volcano and more national parks than you can visit. The wildlife, flora and fauna beats hawaii hands down. We stayed at "si como no" http://www.sicomono.com/ in manuel antonio and "Villa Blanca cloud forest and spa" just north of San Ramon. http://www.villablanca-costarica.com/ Both places were amazing.


We rented a car and just traveled around the country stopping where we wanted. It was easy and fun. The water is drinkable, the people are friendly, the roads are smooth and well maintained. You don't need to rent a 4x4 a compact car would be adequate.

If you are set on going to hawaii I would recommend the big island as it is the biggest, the least crowded and probably cheapest. When I first went to maui it was much smaller than I expected, when I went to the big island it was what I imaged maui to be like. Also its the only island with active volcanoes if you want to see lava. Much more to see on land as there is more of it and more variety in the types of micro climates. They still have farms, coffee and macadamia nut plantations and they have a state run aquaculture facility which was interesting to see. We stayed on the kona coast and made a couple trips around the island.
