Dark wood design runs through the hotel with a coffee bean richness, setting a grand atmosphere for dining at the Grano de Oro restaurant, complete with an award-winning wine cellar with over 165 labels to sip. Head to the jacuzzi terrace for post-exploring relaxation!

Hotel Grano de Oro has been awarded four of the five leaves possible in a rigorous sustainability certification managed by the Costa Rica Tourism Board.
The hotel organizes street clean-ups and tree-planting that staff can participate in, as well as contests to see who can save the most electricity and water at home, encouraging employees to produce energy-saving strategies.
