Costa Rica Midrange Hotels

Midrange hotels are at the foundation of tourism in Costa Rica, making up the vast majority of hotels in the country. In many cases these hotels began as small family run businesses, and over a number of years they have grown to improve their services and amenities. Generally, these hotels range from $80 to $130 per night, and they are some of the best options for most visitors to Costa Rica.
