Large, luxurious, and expertly designed and landscaped, the Wetiga Hotel is the best in downtown Bonito. Rooms are large, with tile floors, and decor inspired by indigenous peoples. Most rooms have small living rooms, and some have verandas. The design is dramatic, with rustic elements like log beams and rough-cut rocks interspersed with modern lighting. The hotel opened a sauna, heated pool, and steam room in 2010 and installed new air-conditioning in 2014.
The best budget option in town, this family-run pousada opened in 2012 and has become a favorite with young travelers. The breakfast goes way beyond what you would expect at this price range.
The modern design of this hotel contrasts with others in town, which lean toward rustic looks. The cream-color rooms are basic but comfortably furnished. The more expansive ones have verandas and face the impressive tropical gardens surrounding the pool. The restaurant serves regional fare for dinner.
A family-run business, Pousada Rancho Jarinú has friendly owners who go to great lengths to make you feel at home. The brick building helps keep the air cool—a boon in the heat of the tropics—and there's also a well-kept swimming pool. You're just steps from the main business district in Bonito.
Run by the town's former secretary of tourism, this centrally located pousada has bright if small rooms and spacious common areas and a swimming pool, all of which makes for a comfortable stay. Staff are attentive and knowledgeable.

The restaurant serves international fare, but local fish is always available. Tours to the region's attractions can be arranged through the on-site travel agency. The resort also has swimming pools, tennis courts, game rooms, and a lake for fishing. Rates include dinner.
