Accommodations
in Costa Rica vary as much as the landscapes. Whatever
part of the country you plan on exploring, Costa Rica
hotels have an abundance of choices for the weary traveler.
Volcano hot spring resorts, rain forest eco-lodges, city
hostels, and dry forest pension hotels are just some of
the different accommodations that are set in the multitude
of environments you are likely to encounter on your Costa
Rica tours.
Some of the best hotels in Costa Rica will not cost you
that much money, since many of the mid-range hotels are
rather clean and comfortable and should more than satisfy
your basic lodging needs.
If you're weary of the rigors of touring and bumpy tour
buses, you might want to escape to a more luxurious haven
at the end of a long day. You can find larger hotel chains
like the Hotel Marriott Costa Rica, Comfort Real Hotel
Costa Rica, Hotel Radisson Costa Rica, Hotel Palmira Costa
Rica, and the Arenal Paraiso Hotel Costa Rica in the major
cities and towns such as the capitol of San
Jose and near major attractions such as Arenal
Volcano.
The city Peurto Quepos, for example has a hotel called
the Karahe that gets rave reviews from guests, who stay
here on subsequent trips. While this hotel is only $40
a night, it is often preferred over the nearby Hotel Si
Como No, whose rooms average three times the Karahe's.
In the city of Liberia in the
northern part of the country, the Four Seasons resort
is one of ultimate splurges for Hotels in Costa Rica at
almost $300 a night, but you can also find a clean and
well-kept room at the Best Western El Sitio Hotel and
Casino for about $20 a night. In Tamarindo beach, on the
Pacific, the easygoing way of life is reflected in the
very reasonable prices of what very well may be some of
the most clean and affordable Costa Rica Hotels.
Costa Rica hostels are some of the liveliest places for
a young traveler to be. The Hostel Pangea fits the bill
and exceeds your expectations at the same time. Located
only 5 blocks from the main square's tourist information
office, only $9 a night gets you a bed in the safest,
cleanest hostel in town. The DSL connection, all male,
all female or mixed sex rooms give you choices to add

The Friendly Hostel in San Jose and is a good alternative
if the Pangea is full. This friendly hostel has all new
bunk beds, and offers a free breakfast in addition to
free internet access. A lush outside area, free coffee
and tea all day long and tourist information are other
perks you can enjoy at this fine Costa Rica hostel. Other
cities have their own versions of a hostel environment
and some even have small private rooms for just a few
dollars more. All in all, a night at most Costa Rica Hostels
will run you $9 a night, as they all try to remain competitive
by offering the same rates. Whatever your tastes and budget,
the abundant options for accommodations in Costa Rica
