Discover the Best of Costa Rica

Sun-splashed coastline and roaring rivers. Active volcanoes and coffee plant-covered hillsides. There's a reason why Costa Rica is one of Central America's most popular destinations. Spot endangered animals in a rainforest; unwind in a hot springs spa; hike to volcanic craters; battle the power of white water; or just relax on a beautiful beach all in a country that protects more than 5% of the world's biodiversity: over 900 bird species, more than 200 species of mammals, and thousands of types of butterflies.

Experience the best of Costa Rica at Hotel Punta Islita, Autograph Collection. Enjoy complimentary eco-adventures and cultural experiences, from hiking and monkey safaris to traditional cooking lessons. With access to the Wild Scarlet Macaw Reserve and nearby beach towns, every guest will find unforgettable adventures.  With Avanti, enjoy exclusive amenities, like daily breakfast, spa credits, and more when you book your stay at Punta Islita.
