Blues and greens colour the landscape in Costa Rica, a country where nature takes centre stage. And the Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Costa Rica are the perfect choice for those who want to enjoy their stay in comfort and discover the unusual flora and fauna of the numerous National Parks in the region.

Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world. There are more than 500,000 species to delight guests at the Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Costa Rica, distributed among its fine sandy beaches and the lush nature of its volcanoes, natural parks and tropical forests.

Close to the capital, San José, there are villages with rural charm to see before visiting the amazing National Park of Quetzals. To the northwest, catch a glimpse of the strikingly coloured quetzals from the high hanging bridges that are spread across the forests of Monteverde, before visiting the nearby Arenal lake and volcano.

Another of the green areas of Costa Rica is the Tortuguero National Park, a dense jungle where sea turtles go lay their eggs every year, and the National Park of Corcovado, whose peaceful Drake bay boasts one of the most rich and diverse ecosystems in the world. On the island of Caño you can swim with whale sharks or stroll alongside monkeys in the Manuel Antonio National Park.

Further north, visitors can discover Costa Rica's quiet side: at Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Tamarindo you'll find an international surf paradise, and at Occidental Hotels & Resorts in Papagayo is one of the country's most popular bays. These resorts surrounded by nature offer the comfort and convenience of all inclusive programmes and well-kept modern facilities that will satisfy the most discerning guests. It's easy to fall for the charms of the friendliest country in Latin America. So why not make the most of it at hotels in Costa Rica?
