Eco-lodges vary from comfortable to roughing it. To get the full experience of the area, you may want to stay at some of the local and well-known lodges. These places can offer the true flavor of the town, the environment and local people. Many places offer meals with local foods and recipes.

For those who prefer more rustic surroundings, places where nature abounds and reveals itself at every glance, there are eco-lodges smack dab in the middle of nature to experience.

Hostels are very popular among budget-minded travelers. However, many places have stepped up their game and are now offering higher-end accommodations. A great place to stay at a great price.

Vacation Rentals are a terrific options for those looking for extended stays. It'll be almost like you already live in Costa Rica. Pricing for this option is usually more economical than an extended stay at a hotel or resort.
