Unlike many Costa Rican travel sites, we do not try to see how many hotels we can list. We select the best hotels in each area based on 15 years of experience. We have had numerous hotels wanting to be listed on CentralAmerica.Com that we have chosen not to put up. We have also removed several hotels over the years because of complaints. We represent only hotels that consistently maintain a high standard of service. Our Costa Rican travel advisers are knowledgeable about all these hotels. If you have any questions about a hotel, would like a suggestion, or wish to make a reservation please call us toll free in Costa Rica. The following numbers will be answered by one of our bilingual travel advisers in our San Jose, Costa Rica office.
From the US or Canada please call 1-888-535-8832 or 1-800-948-3770facebook.gif - 1447 Bytes
