The wife and I went a few years ago and spent 1 week near Conchal Beach and 1 week in La Fortuna. The beach side was great for relaxing, fishing and beginner surfing lessons. There's also a cool freshwater waterfall close ish to there called Llanos de Cortez.
La Fortuna is a really nice area too, lots of good hikes around, there's a sloth sanctuary just outside of the city and it puts you almost at the foot of a volcano (Mt Arenal).
As was said before the roads aren't always very good so if you're planning on driving a lot, a 100km drive might take you 3-4 hours. I'd personally not visit more than 2-3 of those spots in 2 weeks.
