Review of Hotels

Hotel Grano de Oro is a charming oasis in the city with the best restaurant in San José. Those who prefer the sun, sand and sea must consider Hotel Capitan Suizo in Tamarindo, Florblanca Resort in Santa Teresa or Arenas del Mar Beach and Nature Resort in Manuel Antonio. These beachfront hotels are spread out along the Pacific Coast, each with a unique and different style. Enjoy the water sports and explore the natural treasures that abound on the Pacific shores of Costa Rica.

While in Costa Rica you must experience the beauty of the rain forest. At The Peace Lodge  you can hike through cloud and rain forest following the La Paz River as it cascades over five majestic waterfalls.  Guests can enjoy feeding toucans and hummingbirds by hand or playing tug of war with a 250 lb. Jaguar.  Other wildlife exhibits include an aviary, butterfly observatory, jungle cat exhibit with five species, white-face and spider monkey habitat, serpentarium, frog exhibit and Trout Lake.

In the heart of the verdant Turrialba valley, Hotel Casa Turire recalls the gracious charm of a colonial plantation home where you can relax and enjoy the view or stroll through the exotic gardens. This is the perfect location to embark on the best white water rafting in Costa Rica.

Hotel Villa Caletas near Jaco beach and Hotel Cuna del Angel on Dominical beach are properties that combine the best characteristics of both beach and mountain resorts. These hotels are perched atop seaside cliffs and offer unrivaled views of the lush forest touching the azure blue water of the Pacific Ocean.
