Costa Rica Hotels - Over a million visitors every year definitely makes Costa Rica one of the most pleasant and coveted destinations worldwide. With a rich history, and heart warming locales like the most pleasant beaches, an assortment of rain forests, active and fuming volcanoes , raging rivers, great sanctuaries and cascades of waterfalls, how exotic could it get? The beauty is therefore all for you to behold in this little petite Latin American nation. So pack your bags, take a holiday in Costa Rica and live the experience, which is not limited to the tourist getaways, which you've craved, but one, which crosses over too much more. 
This visit will be your ideal honeymoon or business trip or family holiday or adventure showdown, whichever your preference stretches over. Come; look for the most exotic fauna and flora not to be found anywhere else in this country. Be it the perfect rush of rainforests down south or the mystical, enervating ambience of the cloud forests of Monteverde and Santa Elena, if you were looking for the perfect escapade you have just arrived to the place to be in.
No matter what your budget Costa Rica hotels will never leave you out in cold! From the reasonably priced resorts on the coasts of the Nicoya peninsula to the lavish 5 star hotels such as the Four Seasons in the Gulf of Papagoya, Costa Rica has something for every pocket size. In most of the tourist towns you will also find accommodations up for rent. These are ideal if you intend to spend a long time in the country.
As you move further away from these popular areas however accommodation will turn out to be a bit of a problem. It is therefore best to research and book your hotels way in advance (especially during the high season) so that you don't have to do a lot of running around when you are finally here.
If you are on a tight budget try out the bargain Costa Rica hotels and resorts. These are easy on the pocket and generally comfortable. But do make sure to explore all your options before booking your hotel or room, that way you will be able to make the most of your minimum resources.
If you are planning to visit Costa Rica during the holiday seasons, between December to April do get your booking done in advance cause the city shuts down completely during this time.
Apartotel's are a good option for tourists planning to spend a decent bit of time in the country. Apartotels is the same as any hotel room but come equipped with an additional kitchen etc., which makes it almost like a full-fledged, self-sufficient apartment.
If you are backpacking through the country and your stay is likely to be much shorter opt for the innumerable Bed and Breakfasts. B & Bs are cheaper than hotels and tend to be comfy. If your budget isn't quite as strict check out the Cabinas. And of course, if you are on a king's budget there is always the private lodge's, cabins, inns, resorts etc. etc. 
Expect to get a decent concession on your Costa Rica hotels if you are visiting Costa Rica anytime between mid-April to November (the Green or Rainy Season). However, no matter which time of the year you are here do remember that you will be charged an essential sales and tourism tax of 16.39%.
