Hotels for Sale in Costa Rica

Every hotel, eco-lodge and resort on this page is offered in confidence by CHN Hospitality Partners, intermediaries in hospitality businesses in Costa Rica. Public listings show the destination and the verified facts the owner allows. Silent listings show only a key count and a regional pin. The identity of a property, its financials and its data room are released to registered buyers under a non-disclosure agreement for that specific asset.

Register as a buyer and tell us what you are looking for. Some owners never list at all; registered buyers with a clear brief are the first we call.

How buying through CHN works

  1. Register. Tell us your budget, regions, asset type and timeline. It takes two minutes.
  2. Shortlist. We match your brief to the register, including silent listings that do not appear in full online.
  3. NDA. For each asset you want to pursue, you sign a non-disclosure agreement. We then release the property identity, the financials and the data room.
  4. Visit, offer and close. On your written request and with the owner’s consent, we arrange the site visit and owner meeting, then coordinate the letter of intent, due diligence and closing with your advisors.

Buying a hotel in Costa Rica: questions

Owners sell in confidence. Publicity costs a hotel forward bookings, staff and negotiating position, so the name, owner and exact location are released only under a non-disclosure agreement for that specific asset. The destination, key count and verified facts are published so you can judge the fit first.

A clear brief: who is buying, the budget, the regions and the type of asset. Before site visits or owner meetings we also ask for the ultimate beneficial owner and reasonable evidence of capacity to transact, such as proof of funds or a letter from a bank or fund, as Costa Rican anti-money-laundering rules require.

Yes. Foreign nationals may own titled property and shares in Costa Rican companies on broadly the same footing as citizens. The main exception is beachfront land in the maritime zone (ZMT), where concessions follow separate rules. Any purchase involving concession land needs Costa Rican counsel from the first conversation.

Yes. Silent listings appear here with a key count and a regional pin only, and some owners prefer not to list at all. Registered buyers with a clear brief are the first we contact when a matching owner is ready.

Registration, a shortlist, an NDA per asset, review of the file and data room, a site visit on your written request with the owner’s consent, a letter of intent, due diligence with your advisors, and closing. CHN coordinates each step between buyer and seller.
