Overnight visitors should make reservations and must also pay the US$10 entry fee. Camping is permitted near the Hacienda Palo Verde Research Station, where toilets and hot-water showers are available. Meals and boxed lunches (US$7 to US$9) are available at the OTS research station by advance arrangement.
Run by the OTS, Hacienda Palo Verde Research Station conducts tropical research and teaches university graduate-level classes. Researchers and those taking OTS courses get preference for dormitories with shared bathrooms.
Tommy and Antje, the German owners, have built a beachfront house and ‘multicolored’ (in case you were wondering what Kunterbunt meant) cabinas right beside a peaceful section of the beach.
This hotel is decent and mercifully far from the noise of the plaza, though it's on a relatively busy road. The 28 rooms are clean (though rough around the edges), with cable TV and private bathrooms.
It ain't Shangri La, but rooms are bright enough, clean enough, air-conditioned, have cable TV, and are a damned decent value. Try to get one in the cooler, darker halls rather than the noisier ones facing the street.
Next to the Río Chipanzo in a quiet residential neighborhood, and run by a pleasant family that keeps small, dark, bare-bones rooms clean and neat.
The newest and most upscale hotel in town has all the modern amenities including well-insulated rooms with flat-screen TV, wi-fi, huge comfy bedding and contemporary, dark wood furnishings. Pricier rooms have Jacuzzi.
Right on the Interamericana. Ask for your absolutely standard room (some with air-con, hot shower and/or TV) in the back, away from the highway noise.
Here is a professionally run collection of decent, tiled rooms with wooden beds, air-con and hot water, off the main drag. It's quiet, super clean and those potted (silk!) plants offer merely the illusion of nature.
A quiet cheapie at the far end of town, it has some ghastly older rooms but the four rooms in the new building (um, you'll know where they are) have fresh tiles, crown mouldings, cable tv and wi-fi, and the area is fairly quiet at night.
Quite basic but decent digs in a converted house in the center of town. Management is tranquilo and all rooms have cable tv and wi-fi.
It doesn't look like much from the street, but this cute, fairly modern hotel has a series of spotless tiled rooms, with wi-fi, hot water and cable TV, set around an inviting pool.
This converted elementary school is now a chic loft hotel, and would definitely feel more at home in tre...
Set in a lovingly restored 1938 posada (guesthouse), this property has the most old-world class in Liberia.
Just a couple of blocks from Parque Central, this quiet, homelike place has 10 comfortable rooms with private bathroom and TV.
One of Liberia’s most attractive hotels is in a historic colonial mansion that has been recently refurbished.
The largest hotel in Liberia feels like a cross between a dude ranch and the Holiday Inn. Once proud rooms, arced around the pool on two floors, all have comfortable furnishings, air-con and cable TV, but they are aging quite conspicuously.
A grungy little joint that is nothing if it isn't dingy, cheap and still somehow inviting. Yes rooms are cramped, and could be cleaner, but somehow you'll still feel drawn to this converted mid-19th-century house.
The rooms are cramped but clean and well appointed with antiques and quilts. For the price this is one of the best downtown options.
Rooms here are ragged and worn, despite the lovely entry way...
