Costa Rica's famous Florblanca HotelCosta Rica Hotels

This part of Costa Rica is known for its small hotels, which range from dirt cheap hotel shacks on the beach to high end bungalows. The prices vary from $5 to $500 per night. There are too many to list them all here, so we'll just include our favorites.

Please be good to the hotel owners and staff. Owning a hotel is a common business option for people who have decided to change their lives and move to Costa Rica. It can be a 24-hr job, 7 days a week. Please take care of your hotel room as if it was your own home. Tipping of the cleaning staff isn't expected, but much appreciated.
