Top Hotels in San Jose Costa RicaSpending all inclusive vacations in Costa Rica, a small country in Central America, became very popular in the recent years and for this reason more and more tourists planning their next holiday in this terrestrial paradise. Republic of Costa Rica, as it is named officially, is bordered by land only in north (by Nicaragua) and south (Panama), on the other two sides being neighbored by the Caribbean Sea (in east) and Pacific Ocean (in west). Tourists are attracted by this country due to the political stability, lush rain forests, tropical beaches, variate landscape, majestic volcano ranges, and excellent accommodation conditions offered by most hotels.
Costa Rica is a country with a small area (51,100 square kilometers or 19,730 square miles), but it has numerous vacation spots and multitude of tourist attractions. There are volcano Arenal, a worldwide renowned landmark, the Caribbean coast, where tourists can enjoy the sunny weather and gentle waters of Caribbean Sea, the Pacific coast, which is very well developed for tourist industry and features a wide range of luxury hotels and resorts, and San Jose, the capital city of the country and a favorite holiday spot among travelers visiting this part of America.
San Jose is the capital city and is surrounded by a province with the same name, located in the central region. It was founded in 1738 and nowadays is a metropolitan area - a blend of old colonial buildings, modern edifices and luxury hotel complexes.

San Jose is a great vacation spot in Costa Rica for several reasons. One of them is the fact that the city offers great accommodation conditions and tourist attractions like the areas named "El Pueblo" (a zone of the city where are located over 50 bars, restaurants, clubs, shops and art galleries) and "Calle de la Amargura", featuring also many bars, restaurants and night-clubs. A another area that draws many tourists is "Pueblo Antiguo", which is in fact a conglomerate of museums hosted by the "El Parque de Diversiones de Costa Rica". Interesting points of interest are The National Theater, The Melico Salazar Theatre, The Gold Museum, The Lankester Botanical Gardens, The Cathedral and others.
A another important reason why holiday makers prefer to book accommodation in San Jose is the geographical position of the city.
