Costa Rica Cabins and Villas
If you’re looking for a peaceful and private accommodation, cabins and villas can be a great option. Rather, than close-proximity rooms within a single building, cabin and villas form a separate structure. Guests at these hotel properties walk on short paths between the reception, restaurant, and their own private cabins, villas, or bungalows. Many cabin and villa accommodations also provide more amenities than a standard room. They can include a full kitchen and a separate living area that are ideal for longer stays. (Please note that some units form a duplex, rather than a single unit.)
