Hotel y Cabinas de Tropico

Caribbean Coast


This motel-style abode isn't glamorous – it's on a side road off Guápiles' main highway (Rte 32) and is frequented by traveling vendors making deals in town, but you can't beat it on price or facilities. Clean, simple rooms – some have air-con, some have TV and some have refrigerators; some have all three.

The front desk sells snacks, as well as canned beer and Cuba Libres, and serves free coffee.

It's a 15-minute walk or five-minute drive into the center of town. Rooms with fan but no air-con are a few dollars less.
