For Sale: Luxurious, comfortable and ecologic hotel in Tilarán, Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
Designed after the Palace of Knossos (on Crete), this steel-rebar reinforced concrete hotel is safely nestled on a hill overlooking a lake and was built to last in 1992.
- The building continues to stand the test of time and is in great condition (while some rooms are in need of updating).
- The hotel’s deep red and yellow ochre columns frame the surrounding lush greenery and breathtaking views of the lake.
- The hotel has an economic break-even occupancy rate of 20%. With the rooms, pool, laundry facility, the LAB's solar hot water and solar photovoltaic panels, operational costs are extremely low.
- Recently the owner added a 26.4-kilowatt grid-tied solar power system on the main building’s roof, making this hotel 90% solar powered. In addition, seven evacuated-tube solar hot water collectors now provide all the hot water needed for the hotel.
- Year-round 8-gallon per minute natural spring provides ample water which after pasteurizing, supplies the hotel’s on-site brewery for free, while piped city water supplies guests with high-quality drinking water right out of the tap.

- While business's bar and restaurant sales remain strong with regular weekly live music events such as Taco Tuesday, and still the occasional Saturday night with big-name DJs and a cover charge, weekday room rentals remain a challenge and would benefit greatly from a permanent special attraction.

- Company expanded keg beer sales of our eight ales to third-party bars in Jaco, Nosara, San Jose, and La Fortuna, and added 1-liter bottles “to-go” at the brewery.
