Costa Rica: Accommodation

Bed and Breakfasts in Costa Rica

Bed and breakfasts in Costa Rica are one of the most popular business ventures and they are mostly run by families with a lot of help on call 24/7. Some family-owned ones may also offer special services like picking you up from the airport – just depending on how lucky you are. You can book virtually any good business through tour operators or specialist accommodation companies and some you can reserve online. Prices can start as low as 20 Euros a night for an average two person room, though if you do get a quote you should be sure to bring proof of it.

Hotels in Costa Rica

Hotels in Costa Rica are actually quite reasonable on the whole. The service they provide has notably improved since the 90s and their prices have as well. Beware of the busy times – around December and January (the holidays), as you may find it a fair sight more costly. Inexpensive rooms can be found at around 22 Euros, moderate ones around 30-50 Euros and expensive ones at 60-90 Euros per night. There are also what’s known as “super hotels” in prime locations like beaches and more secluded paradise areas – perfect for that honeymooning couple. One can also find beach cabins, some of which may be in association with the hotel. Browse our online links to accommodation in Costa Rica for the latest deals on Costa Rica hotels.
 

Motels in Costa Rica

Motels are very popular in Costa Rica, though not necessarily for the right reasons. The sex industry and in particular the sex trade is big illegal business on these shores as prostitution is not illegal. Motels therefore are often the haunt of the sex tourist. Whilst not all motels look like the perfect place for such an activity – you should be at least aware of the thriving industry. Prices are again, very reasonable on the whole and can be found as cheap as 15 Euros, though booking in advance isn’t as common as it might be.

Hostels in Costa Rica

Costa Rican hostels are an immensely popular way to stay in the country. Far be it from the reputations of their European counterparts, Costa Rican hostels are seen as bargain accommodation, offering the chance to mix with fellow travellers and find the best spots to go. Basic accommodation comes from as little at 8 Euros a night (subject to menial chores like gathering bed linen) and most hostels now offer private accommodation as well as standard. Amenities such as internet access, cable TV and free parking at much cheaper rates than hotels have helped them expand in popularity and reputation. Hostels are quite widespread throughout the country, especially in tourist areas and there are also youth hostels too.

Villas and Guest Houses in Costa Rica

Having a large budget to visit Costa Rica can certainly afford you luxury and there are plenty of companies that are waiting for your business. Villas can be hired for around 900 Euros per night and some even come with personal concierges who can offer you services like a private chef, poolside massages and arranging theme parties – it’s all in the price.

Resorts in Costa Rica

Tourism is big business in Costa Rica and foreign brands, encouraged by the region’s peaceful and eco-innovative reputation are investing in all-inclusive family resorts. The Hilton brand has a famous resort in Papagayo, in the Guanacaste province. Offering endless facilities, entertainment, its own beach and even staging weddings, it is an example of the booming tourism industry within the country. All of these resorts have flashy websites offering a taste of paradise in luxury accommodation, though most travel agents will also be privy to these. Prices are complicated as there will usually be a set price for the room and extra if you bring a child 2-12 (child rate), though especially young children are usually free. Expect prices of around 300 Euros a night for the average family of 3.
