Belmar Hotel

Add to wishlist Contact us

Hotel Belmar is a small Swiss-style chalet hotel with 30 rooms, beautifully decorated; many with private balcony. Experience personalised service in a comfortable rustic atmosphere offering good food in a local style.

Many of the rooms at Belmar have spectacular views of the surrounding cloud forest. The Canopy rooms boast floor to ceiling windows just inches from trees. The Sunrise Room is also of note, with its 30-metre square terrace and private jacuzzi, affording 270-degree views of the forest and across the Nicoya Peninsula.

Why we like Belmar Hotel

Fantastic sunset rooms that are spacious with impressive views. Extensive gardens in which, it has been known, to have been resplendent quetzals nesting.

Great work from John. The additions of zip-lining and surfing lessons were exciting experiences that we would not have considered without his expert guidance.
