Boutique all-suite hotel with rainforest views and free made-to-order breakfast

Rooms

Hotel Plaza Yara offers 16 air-conditioned suites, each with a private entrance and a flat-screen TV. All suites include a kitchenette with a microwave and a furnished balcony that overlooks the rainforest. The rooms provide a seating area with a sofa, and guests frequently see sloths, toucans, monkeys, and iguanas from their balconies.

Dining

A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM, with options such as gallo pinto, huevos rancheros, and banana pancakes. The breakfast includes fresh fruit, coffee served with hot milk, and daily additions like fresh cake. The hotel does not have a restaurant for lunch or dinner, but it recommends a nearby Tico-style restaurant a five-minute walk away that also offers delivery.

Amenities

The property has an outdoor swimming pool and a whirlpool, both with rainforest views and surrounded by lush foliage. An on-site art gallery sells local tropical artwork and colorful mosaics, with paintings available for purchase. The hotel also provides a sun terrace with loungers, a garden, and a gift shop.
