A wonderful opportunity to
purchase
Are you a couple that always wanted to own and manage your own hotel? Are you thinking of moving to Costa Rica to pursue your lifelong dream of owning a small hotel but don’t want to waste 2-3 years in building one? This unique small hotel IS what you are looking for!
Located only 75 minutes from San Jose and the International Airport, on the way to the beaches of the Pacific Ocean, this 10 Junior Suite Hotel is a combination of an exclusive Bed and Breakfast with the luxury and amenities of some of the world’s best hotels.
We are a young couple who came to Costa Rica almost 4 years ago, and immediately fell in love with its beauty and people. This property was the first we were shown in Costa Rica by a real estate broker, and we wanted to buy it right then and there. After traveling all around Costa Rica for a few weeks looking at dozens of other properties, we returned to this property and bought it. It took us 2.5 years to build the hotel, and the inauguration of the hotel was celebrated at the end of 2003.
We didn’t plan on selling the hotel so soon after realizing our dream, but for personal reasons, we will have to return to our home country in the near future. Our misfortune can be your fortune! This is a once in a life time opportunity and can turn your dreams into reality!
Although the hotel has been open for only less than a year, we have already established professional relationships with some of the best travel agencies in Costa Rica and abroad, we already appear in the new editions of 2 guide books to Costa Rica (Moon handbook and The New Key to Costa Rica), we have had several articles written about us in local and international newspapers (including the Tico Times, the largest English paper in Costa Rica, and the Washington Post), and our unparalleled reputation is growing by the minute on online travel message boards and by word of mouth.
We are the sole owners and operators, with a paid staff of 9 local workers for housekeeping, maintenance, cooking and gardening. Being involved in the local community and giving jobs to local women has been a priority for us (most of our employees are women who have never worked for a salary before). We have established a working routine and all the employees are well trained and dedicated workers.
The hotel features 5 casitas (small houses) built on a slope within a mango plantation, each with 2 Junior Suites (total of 10 suites, each 35 square meters in area), for maximum privacy. Each suite is differently and tastefully decorated and all suites are equipped with: - Private terrace and garden with outdoor seating - Jacuzzi for two - A sleeping area with a queen-size bed - A living area with a built in sofa - Satellite TV - DVD player - Mini fridge - Coffee/tea maker - Telephone
In addition to the 5 casitas, the hotel features a main building that includes: - a dinning room with an open air terrace at canopy level that can seat up to 26 people - a bar area - a fully equipped kitchen - the reception - public restrooms - an infinity edge pool - open-air lounge next to the pool - utility room with all housekeeping equipment, washer and dryer etc.
The main building also includes the owner’s house: - 3 bedrooms - 2 bathrooms - living room - open study - terrace around the entire house
The property is 30,000 square meters (7.5 acres), and the construction area of all the buildings is approximately 700 square meters (7780 square feet). The property has 250 meters of road frontage, and the boarder of the property on one side is by a fence and on the other side is by a beautiful stream. There are thousands of trees on the property, including mango, banana, lemon, cashew, orange and more. Water is provided by our own spring and is wonderfully tasty and clean. There are 3 telephone lines, and a central phone system that provides direct telephone lines to all the rooms. Internet service is through the telephone lines and can be connected in any room as well as in the reception and house.
The hotel is located in the surrounding highlands of the Central Valley of Costa Rica, in the heart of the rural county of Turrubares. The location is at a convenient distance from some of Costa Rica’s famous attractions: Turubari Tropical Park, Carara Biological Reserve, Jaco Beach, Manuel Antonio National Park, to name a few. Because of its special location and structure, the hotel is ideal for exclusive hospitality like spa and yoga retreats, or weddings etc.
The weather in this area is as close to perfect weather as you will ever encounter. At an elevation of about 500 meters (1600 feet) above sea level, the average temperature year-round is between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius (65-75 Fahrenheit). The Rainy Season starts in May and ends at the beginning of December. It usually rains only a couple of hours in the afternoon every day, but some days it may not rain at all, and in other it may rain all day. The Dry Season is from mid December to mid April and basically it does not rain at all during these months.
Many animals call the property their home, including 2 different kinds of toucans and many other birds, dozens of butterflies, an armadillo, iguanas, frogs and even a sloth that appears every now and then and stays on one of the trees for a few weeks.
This beautiful hotel is a turnkey operation, and as part of the deal, we are willing to stay an extra month to train the new owners and make the transition period as smooth as possible. Alternatively, the hotel can be used as a private family compound, or as a corporate retreat for a small-mid size company for executive retreats and workshops.
NET income, from rooms alone (not including food, drinks, commissions etc.), at
50% occupancy is over $140,000 annually.
Some interesting facts related to the hotel:
· Turubari Tropical Park – This beautiful new park is located only 20 minutes from the hotel (and there are no other hotels near it). The park includes a canopy tour (AKA zip lines), aerial tram, tropical gardens, butterfly farm, the longest single canopy cable in the country (over a kilometer long!) and more. · The Airport in Orotina and the new highway – a new highway is in construction that would cut the time it takes to get from our hotel to the airport and to San Jose to 45 minutes, as well as to the beach. In addition, the future International Airport that Costa Rica is going to build will be in the city of Orotina, only 35 minutes from the hotel. This will obviously take several years to build, but there is no doubt that it will enhance the value if this investment, as well as all real estate in the area. Costa Rica is said to be like Hawaii was in the 1950s, in terms of real estate and investment. · Puriscal – This is the closest town to the hotel (25 minutes away). It is a very nice Costa Rican authentic town where we do almost all our errands (banks, supermarkets, social security etc.). Our architect, lawyer and accountant are all from Puriscal. Among other things, there are also two cigar factories in Puriscal, and Puriscal is world famous for saddle making. · The Hotel’s Website – The hotel’s website (www.costaricafinca.com) is included in the sale of the hotel.
