Today, Costa Rica has more than 27,000 hotel rooms throughout the country. A number of medium (50 to 100 room) and larger (200 to 400 room) hotels, both in the Central Valley and at the beaches, offer every facility to the travelers.

The majority of hotels in Costa Rica, however, are small properties with less than 50 rooms - most in a natural setting -. This style, which lends itself so well to nature-based tourism, is equally suitable for small groups, meetings and seminars that require privacy and an atmosphere conducive to productivity. Some of these properties are also the perfect choice for incentive groups.

The alternatives include: bed & breakfasts, hostels, moderate hotels, deluxe hotels, resorts, lodges, among others. There is also a significant number of hotels specialized in health services with modern and professional spa facilities.
