Where to Stay

Lodging in Costa Rica runs from beachfront all-inclusives to jungle eco-lodges with no walls at all, and the right choice depends heavily on where you are. These articles break accommodations down by region: San Jose for arrival and departure nights, Arenal and La Fortuna for volcano views, Monteverde’s cloud forest lodges, Manuel Antonio and Quepos on the central Pacific, and the small boutique properties of the Caribbean coast. The Airbnb-versus-hotel question is here too, and it lands differently in Costa Rica than in most destinations.
