Villas Sol Hotel & Beach Resort

Drink in beautiful views of the Gulf of Papagayo at the non-smoking Villas Sol Costa Rica where the rooms have full kitchens and you can swim in two pools. The hotel has 54 air-conditioned non-smoking villas built in tiers along a hillside each with a flat-panel cable TV seating and dining area in-room safe and a full kitchen. The on-site restaurant offers both a continental and buffet breakfast plus lunch and dinner with international themes on certain nights. There are two year-round outdoor pools one lagoon-style around a palm-thatched bar. The front desk is open 24/7 and has a currency exchange and concierge service which can help with booking a sea escape. The hotel looks down upon beautiful Hermosa Beach and Hermosa Bay surrounded by volcanic ridges and rain forest. Take a geology-themed field trip to the Arenal Volcano National Park about 100 miles inland; Santa Rosa National Park is a 45-mile drive north and occupies a forested Pacific peninsula. Daniel Oduber International Airport is 20 minutes away by car or via the hotel's airport shuttle.
