The exquisitely beautiful country of Costa Rica is located between Panama and Nicaragua in Central America. It is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the West and the Caribbean Sea on the East. The people are friendly and outgoing and the country is one of the most progressive in Central or South America. Are you thinking of vacationing in Costa Rica? Narrow your search for that perfect hotel by taking the following possibilities into consideration. Costa Rica is one of the most popular vacation destinations in Central America. There are an abundance of hotels available in the most popular sightseeing areas, such as Tamarindo, San Jose, Tortuguero and Monteverde. Your decision may be to stay in a traditional villa, a modern hotel, a jungle lodge or a mountaintop retreat.
For example, at Cala Luna resort in Tamarindo there are villas where you can stay that have several rooms which accommodate two to six people. Enjoy the lush vegetation including hibiscus and silver palms while you sip exotic drinks by your private pool. After deep-sea fishing, an evening swim and a sunset cruise, prepare local dishes in your kitchen and dine in air-conditioned comfort. If a traditional hotel is more to your liking, Hotel Alta is the perfect choice. It is tucked into the hills just above San Jose, the lovely capital city. From here you can enjoy all the sights, sounds and adventures of the city of San Jose. Shop and dine on the nearby Escaz's Golden Mile, enjoy a butterfly farm and historical landmarks by day and the exciting nightlife of the city in the evening.
If you want to hide away while you are in Costa Rica, the Monteverde region may be the place for you. Charming lodges are nestled away in the mountains, affording you a breathtaking view of the Gulf of Nicoya and the cloud forest. Enjoy the bustling city of San Jose. Accommodations can be found right in the heart of the city, or higher up in the mountains where you can view everything. Here in the city you can take a thrilling white water rafting ride down the Sarapiqui River. Take a boat ride to Tortuga Island or go high class and take the Punta Coral tour aboard a fancy yacht.
While in the San Jose area, take the hour trip to La Paz Waterfall Gardens. This is home to five natural waterfalls and features paved trails and viewing platforms. La Paz is home to the largest butterfly observatory and has a hummingbird and orchid garden. Visit the exciting Irazu or Poaz Volcanos. The views are stunning and it's thrilling to see them on a clear day when you may be treated to some actual volcanic activity!
Tortuguero is the place for a taste of the Caribben and lush jungles and canals. Hotels include the Manatus Hotel and the Mawamba Lodge. A very popular Caribbean hotel is the Almonds and Corals Hotel. This is only a small sampling of amazing and diverse hotels in Costa Rica. Choosing a region and planning vacation activities first will help narrow down the right hotel for a memorable and exciting Costa Rican vacation.
