Liberia is where Guanacaste begins, the capital of Costa Rica's sunniest province, where the Pan-American Highway branches toward the Pacific coast and the volcanic highlands. The Best Western El Sitio Hotel sits at that junction, on the outskirts of Liberia near Liberia International Airport, an effortless base for travelers exploring this region.
Two swimming pools welcome guests back after days in the national parks. The Rancho Bar and Restaurant beside the pool serves cold drinks and traditional Costa Rican cuisine in a relaxed open-air setting. A fitness center, children's playground, and rooms with air conditioning and satellite television complete the property.
From Liberia, rewarding destinations spread in every direction. Rincon de la Vieja National Park brings volcanic landscapes and hot spring pools within reach, while Playa del Coco and the Gulf of Papagayo beaches are a straightforward drive west.
For travelers who want to see the full range of Guanacaste, El Sitio provides a comfortable and practical base. Reserve your stay and plan the adventure.
