Property Overview

Mixed-use hospitality asset including restaurant, boutique hotel, wedding venue, and agricultural component.
Less than one hour from San José International Airport.
Cool mountain climate year-round.
Turnkey operation with diversified revenue streams.

Food and Beverage – Primary Revenue Driver

The food and beverage operation is the main revenue generator and produces more income than the lodging component.

The restaurant is an established destination with seating capacity for approximately 70 guests. It benefits from regular tour group traffic along the Poás corridor as well as strong local and regional clientele, making it less dependent on the U.S. tourism segment. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and generates revenue independently of cabin occupancy.

On-site strawberries are incorporated directly into the menu, reinforcing the farm-to-table concept. Additional upside exists through group menus, preset lunches, tour operator agreements, and private events.

Boutique Hotel – Lodging Component

The hotel consists of 8 independent cabins built in chalet style, offering privacy and a low-density guest experience. The cabins are surrounded by landscaped gardens featuring hortensias.

The property maintains consistently positive reviews on TripAdvisor and similar platforms. The guest mix is weighted toward local and regional travelers, supporting steady occupancy levels. The lodging component is efficient to operate with limited staffing and supports restaurant activity, weddings, and destination stays.

Weddings and Private Events

Hortensias Chalets functions as an established venue for weddings and private events. The property hosts intimate destination weddings, elopements, and celebrations in a scenic garden and mountain setting.

The on-site restaurant supports catering and food and beverage packages, generating high-margin non-room revenue. Events help reduce seasonality and strengthen annual performance.

Agricultural Component

The property includes an on-site strawberry farm. Strawberries are used directly in the restaurant menu, enhancing authenticity, sustainability, and guest experience. There is additional potential for agrotourism activities and value-added products.

Peter’s Reflection

What makes Hortensias Chalets compelling is its balance. The restaurant captures daily tourist and tour group traffic, the cabins enhance the guest experience, weddings add high-margin income, and the farm reinforces authenticity.

This is not an eight-cabin hotel relying on room nights alone. It is a diversified and commercially sound hospitality business in a proven tourist location, designed to be both profitable and enjoyable to own.
