Little Pearl in Costa Rica

Punta Islita is known as a little pearl on the Pacific coast.
It is not surprising that 95% of the guests arrive in private jets or airliners at the landing strip that is about 5 kilometers away. The setup of the hotel in Costa Rica is small with only 30 rooms, 10 suites and 7 villas built in the style of the old cattle ranches here in the Guanacaste region with roofs covered in palm leaves and the trunks of Madero and Sainillo trees being used for the construction. Every single room has a splendid view of the ocean and its own hammock. Most rooms also have a Jacuzzi in the garden or a private swimming pool. Punta Islita is built in such a way that although everybody has an unobstructed view, the setting is private and guaranteed. Also, the hotel also has an impressive spa-program including treatments with lava mud and vanilla massages with warm volcano stones and honey. The largest villa (220 square meters) has its own swimming pool, kitchen, dining room and butler service which will set you back between 500 and 700 dollars per night.
