BEST VISITING MONTHS
Costa Rica has two distinct seasons that shape its travel experience throughout the year: the dry season (December to April) and the rainy season, or "green season" (May to November).
Dry Season (December to April): This is the most popular time to visit Costa Rica, especially along the Pacific coast, where the weather is reliably sunny and warm with little to no rain. Temperatures range from the high 70s to low 90s Fahrenheit, depending on the region, making it ideal for beach outings, hiking, and exploring the country's rich natural beauty. During this season, many festivals and events take place, making it a lively time to visit.
Rainy Season (May to November): Often called the "green season" due to the lush landscapes it creates, the rainy season brings more frequent showers, particularly in the afternoons. However, mornings are often clear, allowing for activities earlier in the day. Temperatures remain warm, and the rain refreshes Costa Rica’s verdant forests, rivers, and waterfalls. September and October see the heaviest rains, especially on the Pacific side, but these months are actually the coast’s drier season, providing a great alternative for travelers. The green season offers lower prices, fewer crowds, and a more tranquil experience with vibrant, green landscapes.

INDULGE IN
TARU, the hotel’s ground-floor restaurant, embraces the “slow food” movement, focusing on locally sourced, sustainable, and ethically produced meals that honor community ties and environmental responsibility. Through the Slow Meat initiative, TARU advocates for consuming "better meat, less meat" to support farmers who follow humane and high standards in raising animals, reducing reliance on large-scale industrialized food systems.
The restaurant also promotes sustainable seafood, encouraging guests to opt for locally sourced catches to reduce the environmental costs of importing seafood over long distances. This approach aligns with the Slow Food principles of "good, clean, and fair" food, which values quality, environmental health, and respect for the labor and traditions involved in food production.
The slow food movement at TARU opposes fast-food culture, favoring traditional, regional foods meant to be savored. It encourages guests to enjoy thoughtfully prepared meals that reflect local heritage, offering a dining experience that connects them deeply to the land, people, and culture surrounding the hotel.
