A $250,000 grant from Hilton to the neighboring BioSur Foundation for it to expand its nature reserve and open a 6000-species insect museum, Insectopia, in the nearby Crocodile Bay village, stands as further proof of this commitment. Beyond the luxury hotel and thrill-seeking experiences on offer, guests who visit and fall in love with this slice of paradise can own their own piece of Costa Rican real estate right at the center of it thanks to Botánika Osa Peninsula.
