Costa Rica Resorts
What is the difference between a resort and a hotel? A resort by design offers more on-site services and amenities for those who prefer to relax where they are staying and enjoy the surrounding vistas. Resorts often provide full-service spas, fitness centers, multiple restaurants, nightlife options, kid’s activities, boutique shopping, plus recreational options like golf and tennis. Conference centers and banquet facilities can create a memorable business convention. You’ll find everything from all-inclusive luxury to rainforest playgrounds with natural onsite hot springs running through the property. It’s no wonder tropical gardens, wildlife sanctuaries, hiking trails and beautiful waterfalls abound on the premises of some of Costa Rica’s amazing resorts. You can even find onsite ziplining! So if you just want to relax and let the rainforest come to you, choose a resort from the following menu that best suits your idea of the ideal vacation.
