Resorts in Costa Rica

Although a couple of years ago Costa Rica was primarily a destination for thoroughbred eco-tourists, this image is changing very fast. The backpack is making place for Louis Vuitton, Levi’s is clearing the field for Dolce & Gabbana and in more and more places the bed-and breakfasts are making place for luxury resorts such as the Four Seasons and Marriott. Along the Pacific coast, resorts have been built over the last few years for the most discerning.
The exquisite Punta Islita Hotel (5 stars) on the Nicoya Peninsula for instance is a member of the famous Small Luxury Hotels group. The inhospitable trip to Punta Islita (because of the hotel’s remote location, the road to get there is not a fun ride) is “rewarded” immediately upon arrival, after the butler receives you at your car with cool, wet towelettes.
