Our Commitment

Costa Verde’s commitment to our planet’s ecology and sustainability goes far beyond the efforts of other so-called “eco resorts”. Of course we recycle, do not use improper pesticides, support sustainable business practices and processes in our hotel and restaurants and manage our jungle and its flora and fauna with best sustainable methods.

From our 727 fuselage home and C-123 plane at El Avión, to our train cars at La Cantina & El Wagon Restaurants to our “Queen” Banana Boat Tender, Costa Verde has taken abandoned things destined for the scrap heap and turned them into beautiful and useful attractions that delight, amaze, educate and create new value. At Costa Verde, we take the concept of recycling to a whole new level!

We are planting 10,000 plants and trees every year on our properties, creating a diverse ecosystem for the wildlife of our jungle. Our own nurseries propagate thousands of new plants and trees each and every year.

We make most of our furniture, lighting fixtures and building materials in our own wood shop, harvesting naturally downed trees from the region whenever possible, and recycling our wood waste as mulch or burning it in our Barbecue at La Cantina or in our Wood Fired Pizza ovens at El Wagon and El Avión.

We have collected thousands of bottles from our restaurants and others in the region and we use them to make lighting fixtures and integrate them into walls as design elements that you can see at our restaurants. Our new project will be to build a glass building entirely out of bottles! We’ll be checking you for bricks at the door…

As you can see, at Costa Verde, we just don’t “talk the talk”, when it comes to our commitment to making things better for our future on this planet, we truly “walk the walk”, each and every day! We are proud of our leadership in implementing creative new methods for a more sustainable enterprise at Costa Verde. Pura Vida!

Q. How far are you from the beach?
A. Rooms are between 250 and 450 yards from the beach and over 300 feet above the ocean. It's about a 10-minute walk to the beach. Uphill, on the way back, can take a little longer of course.

Q. How far are you from Manuel Antonio National Park?
A. The backside of the National Park is adjacent to Costa Verde. The park entrance, however, is located ½ mile from the hotel.
