Choose between paying a hotel bill for $200 a night in a nice hotel in Costa Rica or renting a nice vacation rental condo for around $1,500 a week; where would you prefer to be?
Are you a couple with no kids, and you like to be pampered by the hotel staff? If you could stay in an all-inclusive hotel with the food covered at that price, it’s a no-brainer.
But if you are a family of 4, you’d have to pay for 2 hotel rooms, which would be $200 x 2 = $400 x 7 = $2,800 for a week. Because of that, hotels are getting involved in vacation rentals now too.
The purchase of Costa Rica vacation rentals is a great investment and also a no-brainer. Not only can you make a great return on investment (ROI), you can save money if you buy smartly, at the right price, and with a low condo fee.

Some Costa Rica vacation rentals have 3 bedrooms so that each kid can have their room. Or they can bring some friends, all at the same rental price. And now you will have a nice kitchen, so you can make breakfast easily, make coffee whenever you want, and fill the fridge with beers. Nothing wrong with that, right? What are the top 10 reasons a vacation home is better than a hotel? Find out here.
Get your own beach time in Costa Rica.
I have owned time-shares for years myself. Even when I cannot exchange my weeks for a decent resort or hotel, I will save it for next time and look for a nice apartment on VRBO or Airbnb. I just visited my mom in Holland in June and took her for a week to the coast of Belgium. There, I rented an awesome 2-bedroom condo in the small harbor of Zeebrugge for 1,200 euros. There is no way I could do that in a hotel in the same area that didn’t look like a dump.
What about the hotels?
So what’s going on in Costa Rica with all those vacation rentals? The larger hotel chains, specifically all-inclusive ones, are still doing well. They have their marketing in place through chain marketing on Expedia and many other travel sites.
But what is happening to the smaller hotels? After the boom, many hotels took out mortgages if they didn’t already have one. They have had a hard time being able to pay for their operating cost and making their mortgage payments. They’re either too small to pay for good advertising or they can’t cover the operating cost with the rooms they are renting. They are not able to come down on their rates. And they can’t compete against the large hotels and vacation rentals unless they’re smart marketers or smooth operators.
If you are planning to become involved in the vacation rental business, you should also learn a bit about tourism. Because you want to rent your vacation rental to a tourist, right? So better learn about tours in Costa Rica and where tourists like to go during their vacation.
