Experience the Diversity of The Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica.

Colin and Roberto, owners of Banana Azul, welcome Gay and Lesbian travelers looking for beach and jungle adventure while traveling in Costa Rica.

In an effort to make sure our gay guests get what they are looking for in their Gay vacation to Costa Rica, we feel the need to let you know the following. While The Banana Azul property and the local Puerto Viejo area is ideal for gay travelers want to experience a whole different experience then the rest of Costa Rica with its rich indigenous and Jamaican cultures, it is not ideal for the single travelers looking connect with other gay travelers and locals.

Currently we enjoy a gay clientele of about 20% of our customers. Our (child-free) hotel is ideal for gay couples and singles that are comfortable in mixed straight and gay environments and don't feel the need to stay in accommodations that are exclusively gay. Our staff of 15 is mixed gay and straight. All are very comfortable with our gay guests.

The Caribbean coast is still developing and has yet to have a visible gay scene. The community is too small and transient to support a gay bar or exclusively gay hotel.

Most Gay and Lesbian travelers that come to Costa Rica only get to experience San Jose and the Pacific coast. Both these places have established histories and businesses that cater to the gay community. But the Caribbean Coast offers something unique in it's variety of nature and the mix of cultures. If you don't visit the Caribbean coast you're missing half the country!
