Skip the Headaches of Building: Own a Proven Eco-Hotel in Costa Rica

Your Turnkey Gateway to "Pura Vida" and Passive Income

Time is your most valuable asset. Building a hotel in Costa Rica from the ground up can consume over a year of your life—and that’s after navigating a complex web of permits, architects, engineers, and construction. Then comes the years of marketing effort required to establish a new business.

Hotel de Campo eliminates this entire process. This is a true turnkey opportunity. We’ve done the work for you. When you decide to move to Costa Rica, your best option is to step into a fully operational business that begins generating income from day one.
