The wide diversity of tourists that the country receives explains the existence of a wide range of hotels, according to representatives from the Costa Rican Chamber of Hotels (CCH).The hotel supply caters for both tourists looking to stay in one star hotels, to other more demanding customers, seeking higher-level alternatives.
Nacion.com reports that "...The CCH has registered 32 affiliated hotels that can be considered as luxury. They are hotels with five or more stars that offer elegant facilities, state-of-the-art technology and very high-level services that can give customers 100% satisfaction and comfort," explained Flora Ayub, director at the CCH."
"...The hotel with the most expensive option was the Four Seasons in Guanacaste, where spending a night at the resort's largest residential property can cost $30,135.Following the Four Seasons, and at a much lower price, is Ocio Villas By Casa Chameleon in Puntarenas.The price tag is $3,955 for its largest villa.In the list of complexes there are also other names, such as Andaz Península de Papagayo ($2,113), Reserva Conchal ($1,587) and The Westin Resort & Spa Playa Conchal ($795.60)."
Following the reactivation of air transportation and the easing of restrictions on foreign visitors, the Marriott chain announced the reopening of four hotels operating in the country and the Four Seasons will also reopen its resort in Guanacaste.
The year 2020 has been a complex one for the tourism sector in general, since due to the outbreak of covid-19 since March the hotels began a period in which they did not receive income. In recent weeks, with the relaxation of restrictions, tourism activity has been reactivated and every day more chains are deciding to reopen their facilities.
At least 10% of small B & B type hotels in Costa Rica are no longer active.
It has been estimated that in San Jose alone 10 hotels have closed their doors, however, it is not known how many of these types of establishments are operating in the country. "The information comes from knowledge held by private sector authorities, including the National Network of Small Hotels of Costa Rica (Renaph) and the Costa Rican Chamber of Hotels (CCH), through which it can be inferred that they have been affected by the economic situation," reported Elfinancierocr.com.
Since May 1 the hotel firm has been operating its first international all-inclusive hotel.
The hotel, located in Playa Conchal Province of Guanacaste, is operated by the SolMelia chain.
"Gisela Sánchez, Director of Corporate Relations at Florida Ice & Farm (Fifco), confirmed with La Nacion.com that the hotel, owned by a national firm, is being managed by Starwood (owner of the Westin brand)."
By May 2011 it plans to open the Westin Resort & Spa Playa Conchal.
The Westin Playa Conchal Resort & Spa is Starwood's first property in Costa Rica in 20 years and the newest member of the Westin Resorts brand, which has 40 centers in the world's most coveted tourist destinations.
