Hotels in Mal Pais

Like smashed avo on five-grain toast and binge-watching TV, travel is up there with the best things in life. And if your adventures take you to Mal Pais, you'll find an epic range of hotels to pick from. Base yourself near the action if you want to feel this destination's true buzz. lastminute.com.au offers 32 hotel options within 5 kilometres of downtown Mal Pais. Did someone say 'spoiled for choice'?

Want to have it large around town? You won't get much more central than the Hotel Casa Chameleon Mal Pais and the Hotel Tropico Latino! We wouldn't be doing our job properly if we didn't also suggest the Hotel The Place and the Hotel Vista de Olas.

Tambor, 18 kilometres from the central streets of Mal Pais, has 5 accommodation options. Check out the rates and amenities at the Tambor Tropical - Adults Only, Tango Mar Beachfront Boutique Hotel &Villas, Barceló Tambor, Vista Hermosa Boutique B&B and Mar y Sol Ecotel if you'd like to crash in this convenient area.

Not too cashed up? No worries. There are only a handful of cheaper accommodation options for those watching their pennies, but who needs choice when you've got Vista Naranja Ocean View House?

You may also like to try the Florblanca, which is 6 kilometres away. Or maybe the Latitude 10 Exclusive Beach Resort, just a distance of 4 kilometres from Mal Pais. We'd also recommend the Hotel Punta Islita, Autograph Collection and the Pranamar Villas & Yoga Retreat. The first is 40 kilometres away from the center, while the second is 6 kilometres away.

Attractions and Hotels Near Mal Pais

Can't keep those feet still? If you're nodding in agreement, then take off and discover a few of the highlights of the wider Costa Rica region. Boost your landscape photography game by visiting some of Costa Rica's amazing beaches. Nature museums are a few more places worth whipping out your camera for. Also, don't be shy to try your hand at a few popular regional pursuits like mountain biking, hiking and zip-lining.

Puerto Carrillo is another place where you can lay back and order up some room service like a boss. Located 45 kilometres northwest of Mal Pais, it's where you'll find the Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Camaronal and the Museo Islita. The Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort - All Inclusive and Hotel Guanamar are a few of the hotel and apartment options here. Or, you could stay in Samara, 50 kilometres to the northwest of Mal Pais, where you can choose from the Hotel Samara Beach and Hotel Sol Samara. If you stay in Samara, don't miss La Selva and Carrillo Beach.

After sleeping upright all night, a seriously cosy bed at the Green Sanctuary will feel heavenly! If it's chockers there, have a gander at the Costa Rica Yoga Spa. Both are just a short drive from Nosara Airport, which is 70 kilometres from Mal Pais' centre.
