Budget Hotels are generally more affordable but not backpacker hotels where guests sleep in dorm beds. You will not find all of the amenities at these hotels as you would in a luxury hotel but you will find clean comfortable rooms for a fair price. These accomodations are the best deal for budget travel in Costa Rica.
