Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit Hotel Ataro to experience the famous leatherback turtle nesting?

We recommend visiting between October and March to witness the incredible leatherback sea turtle nesting season at Parque Nacional Marino Las Baulas. The lodge feels wonderfully serene during these months, offering a perfect base for guided night tours to the nesting beaches.

What unique experiences does Hotel Ataro offer beyond just being a comfortable stay near the park?

We love how Hotel Ataro seamlessly blends luxury with its natural surroundings; the open-air design truly brings the jungle sounds and ocean breeze indoors. We particularly recommend their private guided estuary tours, where we've spotted capuchin monkeys and a vibrant array of birdlife right from the hotel's doorstep.

What kind of wildlife can we expect to see around Hotel Ataro itself, outside of the marine park's main attractions?

We've always been delighted by the abundant wildlife right on Hotel Ataro's grounds; sloths are often spotted in the trees, and howler monkeys provide a natural alarm clock. The hotel's lush gardens also attract a dazzling variety of hummingbirds and iguanas, making every stroll an impromptu wildlife viewing.

How accessible is Hotel Ataro, and what are our transportation options once we arrive?

We find Hotel Ataro conveniently located, typically a 45-minute drive from Liberia International Airport (LIR), which we recommend for ease. While the hotel can arrange transfers, we suggest renting a 4x4 vehicle if you plan to explore the charming local beaches and surf spots independently, ensuring flexibility and safety on unpaved roads.

What is the overall atmosphere and dining experience like at Hotel Ataro?

The atmosphere at Hotel Ataro feels luxurious and timeless, a true sanctuary where relaxation is paramount. We especially love their open-air restaurant, which serves fresh, locally-sourced Costa Rican cuisine with sensational sunset views over the Pacific-a perfect end to any day of exploration.
