Property Overview
- 12 bedrooms | 13 bathrooms
- 5,410 m² total land size

A Unique Guest Experience
Hotel Curiol has built its reputation around a jungle-inspired boutique concept that combines nature with comfort and design. The accommodations are diverse and memorable, appealing to modern travelers seeking something beyond a traditional hotel stay.
Guests can enjoy a variety of lodging styles, including:
- Safari-style glamping tents
- Rustic luxury bungalows
- Rancho-style casitas
- A bohemian-style private house
Each space is designed with its own character, creating a stay that feels both immersive and elevated.
Established Business with Upside
The hotel is currently operating and generating consistent income, with strong seasonal occupancy trends. Importantly, the existing operation utilizes only a portion of the total property, leaving additional land available for expansion or future development.
This creates immediate opportunities for a new owner to:
- Increase room count
- Introduce wellness or retreat offerings
- Enhance food and beverage operations
- Further develop unused portions of the property
Additional Revenue Through Food & Beverage
The on-site restaurant, bar, and commercial kitchen present a significant opportunity to expand revenue beyond room bookings.
With its unique atmosphere and central location, the restaurant can be positioned as a standalone destination for both hotel guests and the broader Potrero community.
Opportunities include:
- Opening to the public to capture local and tourist traffic
- Hosting private events, retreats, and group dinners
- Developing a branded dining concept or chef-driven experience
- Increasing average guest spend through curated food & beverage offerings
This adds a powerful second income stream, increasing overall NOI and enhancing the property’s long-term value.
Flexible Purchase Options
A key advantage of Hotel Curiol is its multi-lot configuration, offering buyers flexibility in how they structure the investment.
The full offering includes all titled lots within the property walls, as well as additional adjacent parcels, providing long-term expansion and land value upside.
For buyers focused on maximizing returns, there is also the possibility to prioritize the income-producing portion of the property, which currently operates on only a portion of the total land. This approach can reduce the initial investment while maintaining the core business and its revenue stream.
Additional Land Opportunity
An additional four vacant parcels adjacent to the property are available for purchase for $500,000.
These parcels significantly enhance the long-term upside by allowing for:
- Expansion of room inventory
- Development of branded residences or villas
- Wellness, retreat, or experiential offerings
- Increased overall project scale and exit value
This creates a rare opportunity to control a larger footprint in a high-growth coastal market.
Located just minutes from the beaches of Playa Potrero and within easy reach of Playa Flamingo and Tamarindo, Hotel Curiol benefits from a prime position in a high-demand tourism corridor known for its relaxed lifestyle, international appeal, and continued growth.
