Hilltop Hotels
Hilltop hotels offer guests panoramic views of the stunning Costa Rican landscape. For travelers who prefer to stay above the fray, so to speak, these elevated hotel locations provide sweeping views of the surrounding terrain- over the mountainous and verdant forest, out lowland expanses, or across a deep blue ocean. They are often great places to enjoy a sunset or watch the mist roll in over the trees.
