Hilton Is Opening a Rainforest Resort in Costa Rica

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - November 20, 2016

Hilton is heading to the Costa Rican rainforest.

The global hospitality giant has announced the signing of the Botanika Osa Peninsula hotel to its Curio – A Collection by Hilton brand.

The hotel, which is being developed by Sinergo Development Group, is slated to open in 2018.

The new resort will be located near the Golfo Dulce, home to one of the world’s few tropical fjords, and set on the Osa Peninsula, home to 2.5 percent of the world’s biodiversity.

“We are excited to welcome the Botánika Osa Peninsula property to Curio, and to introduce our rapidly-expanding collection brand to one of the most exclusive Costa Rican resort areas,” said Juan Corvinos, managing director, development, Mexico, Central America, and Hispanic Caribbean regions, Hilton. “This one-of-a-kind resort will be sure to meet our guests’ desire for local discovery in the prime Osa Peninsula location.”

The new-build hotel will be set on the site of the former Crocodile Bay Resort, an eco-resort known for its sport fishing.

“Guests of Botánika Osa Peninsula will be able to experience a truly magical place,” said Cory Williams, managing member, Botánika Osa Peninsula, Curio – A Collection by Hilton. “Our new resort will be a gateway to an immersive rainforest experience that guests cannot get anywhere else in the world. Between the rainforest location, the luxurious residences and our partnership with Hilton, the property is bound to become legendary when it opens in 2018.”
