Our Guide To Hotels In San Jose Costa Rica

The Pura Vida lifestyle speaks to you. Clean water, warm sunshine, and a heart filled with gratitude are a recipe for contentment. Just thinking about basking in the warm Central American sun puts your heart at ease and a smile in your eye. When the ingredients for happiness combine in Costa Rica, your heart takes flight. Your chest flutters at the thought of hours spent floating in the sea and letting sand sift between your fingers. Not a worry in sight. Costa Rica is your mecca. Bounded by the Caribbean Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west, this island paradise welcomes visitors who seek inner peace and fresh waves.

Just past the place where deep blue sea gives way to golden sand, lush rain forests teeming with wildlife await. Spending an afternoon beneath the trees, your dreams for the future shed their fuzzy state and start to come into focus. You can’t imagine a more serene destination, nor a world in which everyone wouldn’t flock toward puravida. And yet, you’re glad they don’t. It lets you claim pieces of this unfettered terrain for yourself, if only for a while. Costa Rica truly is a treasure, and San Jose harbors some of its most hidden jewels. Want to hang ten in some of the best surf on earth? Take a hike to admire jungle animals? Everything you love about Greater Costa Rica is just a short trip away from the many hotels in San Jose.
