We have traveled throughout Costa Rica and visited hundreds of hotels. Most Costa Rican hotels are welcoming to families, but the hotels we’ve included in this category stand out among the rest. Many of them are perfect for families, because they offer plenty of “kid friendly” activities right at the hotel. Some have spacious living room areas that allow guests to prepare meals and relax in a larger space. Other hotels simply have a great family-orientated atmosphere.
