Best Hotels in Costa Rica

Having Visited Costa Rica, I have compiled a list of hotels and inns that
are noteworthy. This list is by no means comprehensive or complete, it is
just a few hotels that I have either stayed at or had the pleasure of
dealing with.

Arenal Volcano Inn
Arenal Volcano Inn is located 6.5 kilometer north of the catholic church of
La Fortuna town. Arenal is a must visit destination for a Costa Rica
vacation. Many hotels surround the Arenal Volcano, but few offer such well
planned and distributed rooms as Arenal Volcano Inn. Distributed on a hill
completely surrounded by nature guaranteeing its guest an impressive view to
the Arenal Volcano. The rooms are warm and inviting giving its guest
tranquility and peace of mind while enjoying the beauty that surrounds them.

Hotel Grano de Oro
Situated on a quite street just off Paseo Colón, Hotel Grano de Oro is a
sanctuary in the heart of the city. Converted from a tropical Victorian
mansion, the hotel maintains the warmth and comfort of a private residence.

The gardens at Grano de Oro are both inside and out. A rooftop terrace
offers a relaxing Jacuzzi and a spot for secluded sunbathing and stargazing.
Service is paramount and the perpetually smiling staff of the Grano de Oro
welcomes guests home time and time again.

Mawamba Lodge
Mawamba Lodge is situated on the Northeast area of Costa Rica's Caribbean
Coast on a sand bar between the Tortuguero Canals and the Caribbean Ocean,
an excellent location that provides direct access to the pristine beach and
the canals.

Nestled in the lush rainforest, this is the ideal hideaway for nature lovers
and the perfect place to discover the wonders of the Tortuguero National
Park. The Lodge is a 15-acre beach front property located on the right side
of Tortuguero, offering nice views to the Tortuguero Lagoon and the canals.

Monteverde Lodge
Located in the Tilarán Mountain Range at 4,600 ft. above sea level on the
edge of the world's best known mid-elevation cloud forest, Monteverde Lodge
is the ultimate lodging experience for the discerning nature traveler.
Guests can enjoy the Monteverde Lodge Gardens with ferns and bromeliads; a
running stream, a pond and a small waterfall provide a habitat for riverine
birds and a host of reptiles and amphibians. Carefully placed benches
provide a comfortable place, offer privacy and/or panoramic vistas from the
Lodge to observe the wildlife, read, write, or just wile away the hours

Punta Islita Resort
The Guanacaste Province is one of Costa Rica's richest cultural regions. Its
artistic, culinary, and musical traditions are rooted in three distinct
ethnic currents, Hispanic, African, and native Chorotega. Their aesthetic
influence is manifest in Hotel Punta Islita's architecture, pottery,
furniture, and garden sculptures.

Hotel Punta Islita is a secluded paradise of spectacular ocean views,
charming luxury, and exciting activities underscored by a genuine commitment
to responsible tourism. Discover an enticing variety of environments and
facilities perfect for fine dining, relaxation, soft adventure, exploring
authentic cultures, and beach activities.

Rafiki Safari Lodge
Rafiki is a wilderness luxury tent camp and conservation project focusing on
adventurous sustainable tourism. The lodge is nestled on 842 acres of
pristine jungle along the Savegre River, 30 km south of Quepos and Manuel
Antonio in Costa Rica.

horseback riding to waterfalls, hiking, and world-class birding. You don't
need to be an avid birder or into eco tourism to enjoy this truly unique
