The 727 Fuselage Hotel is among the most exclusive hotels in Costa Rica and gives guests the truly unique experience of staying in a refurbished vintage 1965 Boeing 727. This airplane used to be part of Avianca Airlines and South Africa Air but has since been converted into a meticulously detailed suite with two bedrooms. The interior is paneled in Costa Rican teak and all the furnishings were hand-carved from teak in Java, Indonesia. Each bedroom has air conditioning and a private bath. One has two queen beds while the other has a single queen. There is also a terrace with an ocean view, a dining area foyer, a kitchenette with a microwave, a flat-screen TV, and a private entrance via a spiral staircase made from river rock.
The suite juts out over the jungle canopy, giving guests amazing views as it sits on a 50-foot pedestal. This positioning also gives guests 360-degree views of the surrounding gardens. The 727 Fuselage Hotel is actually part of Hotel Costa Verde, which is only 300 yards away from the beach and overlooks Manuel Antonio National Park. There are four onsite restaurants to dine at, along with easy access to nearby natural attractions.
