How Can I Tell If a Costa Rica Hotel Is Sustainable?

Costa Rica

There are two ways to find sustainable hotels in Costa Rica. First, you can check out the listing of hotels that are Certified Sustainable. These hotels have gone through extensive evaluations (which demand a great deal of effort and expense on their part) to be awarded this certification. These hotels can be found here.

The second option is to look for hotels that have completed Anywhere Costa Rica's sustainable practices survey. We decided that small and medium-sized hotels should have the opportunity to share their efforts of implementing sustainable practices, so we conducted a thorough survey of our hotels' levels of sustainability. The results of this survey offer our clients the ability to make informed decisions about where they stay.

You can read about the sustainable practices survey here.

Sustainability

Sustainability is the ability to continue a defined behavior indefinitely. It relates to the auto industry as much as the environmental movement and it wears many faces. People are often quick to equate sustainability with green development, but it’s not that easy. Environmental preservation is undoubtedly a linchpin of sustainability—however, it’s just one piece of the puzzle.

Costa Rica Hotels

Costa Rica is all you've heard and more — from adventure vacations to romantic getaways, and family trips to solo travel, part of the magic of Costa Rica is that it almost seems to transform itself based on your travel needs. You can explore mountains, cloud forests, beaches, and more. In each of these unique destinations, you'll find hotels to match your activities and personality. Enjoy a honeymoon or anniversary of romance and indulgence when you stay in Uvita or Dominical, or a sustainable adventure for two when you find yourselves in Sarapiqui or Drake Bay. Perhaps the person you're celebrating and learning to love again is yourself; Costa Rica can accommodate your inner journey. Choose a hotel that offers yoga courses or a full-fledged yoga retreat — you can find them all over the country, from Tamarindo to Arenal. Want to take the family on a vacation where everyone can unplug? How about lodgings that double as working farms? Costa Rica's farm hotels will have you in the heart of the country — explore destinations including Arenal, Monteverde, and San Isidro General. Not only will you enjoy peace and quiet, you can even teach the children about sustainability and where their food comes from. The best part? Most farms offer an opportunity to assist with some of the chores, so you'll get to know the animals and harvest some of the produce you've been enjoying! Wherever you choose to stay, you won't be too far from adventures such as zip lining through rainforests, observing amazing wildlife in cloud forests, trekking across mountains and volcanoes, and napping on beaches. Your perfect vacation begins with the perfect hotel, and both are waiting for you in beautiful Costa Rica.
