A majested place called Hotel Desire Costa Rica

After too many searches, i finally made it to Costa Rica to check out the new swingers and lifestyle friendly resorts everyone has been talking about. Now hold on, just so there are no misunderstandings, the resorts in Costa Rica are not like the resorts many of you are familiar with. The Costa Rica resorts are boutique resorts. Don't expect four restaurants, hundreds of rooms, constant entertainment and super luxury accommodations. But what they lack in big resort amenities, they make up for in so many other ways. We'll be telling you about it in this article and a series of related articles.

My first visit was to Hotel Desire Costa Rica, the sister resort of Copacabana Desire Hotel which we'll be telling you more about in another article. Hotel Desire Costa Rica is a boutique all inclusive adult only clothing optional resort overlooking the San Jose Valley just 30 minutes from the San Jose Airport.

This former billionaire's estate has been transformed into a tranquil, sensuous retreat where you can relax amongst the setting of lush gardens, ponds, and magnificent valley views. The estate founder was an American who during World War II spent time in Brazil spying on the Nazis, and after the war, ended up with the Coca Cola franchise for Brazil. Needless to say, that made him immensely wealthy, and he chose for one of his homes, of many options throughout the world, what was at the time an isolated ranchero overlooking the historic city of San Jose.

Today Hotel Desire is a majestic private, gated resort that covers six luscious acres of tropical flowers, gardens, trees, ponds and other gracious amenities. The resort feature 22 units with a capacity of 26 to 30 couples with some units having two bedrooms, and some units with two beds that can sleep two couples. One interesting aspect of this property is that no two rooms are alike and all of the rooms have been the result of the conversion of numerous buildings into hotel room accommodations. The rooms include fully furnished hotel rooms, studios, suites and villas with one or two bedrooms located in five different building located around the property.
