This established jungle hotel sits on 8,969 m2 (2.2 acres) of pristine Costa Rica rainforest in Ojochal in Costa Ballena in the Costa Rican Southern Pacific Zone. Your 11-bedroom, 7-bathroom property delivers immediate income potential in the Southern Pacific’s most sought-after expat community, complete with sparkling pool, river frontage, and established guest base.
The Property
Picture yourself managing a local hotel where sloths move slowly through the canopy above your guests’ cabins while hummingbirds dart between flowering heliconias in your landscaped gardens. The property features 11 bedrooms with varying configurations with air conditioning for guest comfort, each designed to maximize the jungle views and natural cross-ventilation while providing maximum flexibility for travelers. Wood and tile floors throughout create an authentic Costa Rican ambiance while remaining practical for daily operations.
Your large outdoor kitchen and breakfast bar become the heart of guest interactions during morning coffee service, with the functional layout allowing efficient meal preparation for groups or for just sipping coffee while enjoying nature and the wildlife. The property manager already in place means you can step into immediate operations or maintain hands-off ownership while generating rental income. The property is also near to one of the livelier bar/restaurants where people gather for some Mexican food, a few drinks, music and some games, so your guests can enjoy just a little night life in the jungle. Two-wheel drive access ensures guests reach you easily while maintaining the secluded jungle feeling.
The Grounds
The river running through your property creates a natural soundtrack of flowing water that guests hear from most every cabin. Your pool area provides the perfect balance of tropical sunshine and cooling shade throughout the day with a refreshing pool to cool off after their big adventures. Butterflies and exotic insects create year-round natural entertainment, while evening brings the symphony of frogs and jungle creatures that guests travel thousands of miles to experience.
The gated entry and landscaped grounds create immediate curb appeal, while the rancho and outdoor kitchen spaces extend your hospitality areas into the natural environment. Night sounds of the jungle become a selling point rather than a distraction, with howler monkeys providing authentic wake-up calls that guests remember for years.
Outdoor Living
Your the front porches and outdoor patio areas capture different lighting throughout the day, from morning birdsong sessions to sunset cocktail hours. The river access means guests can walk directly from their rooms to natural swimming holes and river sounds that provide constant white noise.
The Area
Ojochal’s mixed expat and local community creates the perfect environment for hotel operations, with established restaurants, services, and activities that keep guests busy. Your walk-to-town location means guests access Ojochal’s famous international dining scene without needing rental cars, while walk-to-river access provides immediate nature activities.
Legal water through ASADA, ICE electrical connection, and fiber internet ensure your operations run smoothly year-round. The septic system handles capacity needs while meeting environmental standards for this sensitive jungle location.
Whether you’re a digital nomad seeking lifestyle-business integration or a rental investor wanting established cash flow, this turn-key hotel operation delivers immediate returns in Costa Rica’s most dynamic expat community.
