The best accommodations - Costa Rica in 2025

Practical information : Accomodation Costa Rica

Budget & Tips

To guarantee a certain level of comfort without breaking your budget, opt for a bed and breakfast, hostal or hostel. They generally offer a warm welcome and are usually run by foreigners (Americans, Canadians, Europeans...), but many are also run by Costa Rican families, for a more authentic experience. These establishments vary in comfort and price (from US$50 to US$100 per night on average). They provide access to kitchen facilities, Internet... Finally, prices generally include breakfast, but not taxes (13%).

To be booked

The country is well endowed with hotel resources of all categories in every province, even the most remote. However, it is becoming increasingly limited in the face of the tourism boom. During Carnival, Holy Week or the festive season, you may find it difficult to find a place that suits both your tastes and your budget if you haven't taken the trouble to book in advance. During the low season, you'll have no trouble finding accommodation. Bear in mind that in May and October, many accommodations close due to the rainy season. So be sure to get in touch before you go.

What's very local

Cabinas and lodges abound in Costa Rica. Thanks to its "natural capital", the country has attracted many national and international investors, as well as numerous establishments offering comfort and charm in the heart of nature. Isolated paradises, these small, individual, upscale cabins are generally scattered around a natural setting. Numerous farms(fincas) are also scattered throughout the country. They are generally run by agrotourism associations. You can spend the night for an average of US$20 in a single room or dormitory.

For food lovers

Pinto Gallo is the Costa Rican breakfast par excellence! It's served in most hotels. For those who prefer sweet to savoury, don't panic: continental breakfasts are also available. Plates of fruit (papaya, pineapple, mango, watermelon, banana, guava, etc.) are also available.

Smokers

Smoking is prohibited in public places in Costa Rica, including hotel rooms. If you really need to, just ask: some dedicated areas are reserved for smokers.
