2-Storey Hotel-Restaurant with River, prime location El Tanque, 12 mins from La Fortuna

Looking for a lucrative investment opportunity in Costa Rica? Look no further than this mini hotel with a pizza restaurant located in a prime location, only 12 minutes drive from La Fortuna in El Tanque, San Carlos.

This unique property is fully fenced-in with a river (Rio Fortuna) right next to the property, allowing guests to swim and bathe in the water that came all the way from the Fortuna Waterfall. The location alone guarantees high booking rates, making it a great investment for anyone looking to make good money from a small hotel/restaurant.

The property is detailed in high quality wood material – Cedar and Laurel, with many custom-made rustic furniture/tables using high quality Guanacaste wood.

Property includes a massive 2-story house with a rustic upstairs 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment complete with a kitchen, living room, and laundry room.
Downstairs, there are 3 additional spacious hotel-like rooms with private large bathrooms and kitchenettes that can be rented out to tourists.

This property is currently not being rented out on AirBnB, so there is a huge opportunity for a new owner to step in and capitalize on the high demand for lodging in the area.

In addition to the lodging options, the restaurant boasts a giant kitchen with a fire oven, massive gas oven, freezer, large sinks, fryers, gas stove, fridge, and storage room. The restaurant even has a room for the chef/worker to live in with an en-suite bathroom.

Currently the pizza restaurant is open only evenings (from 4pm) with a day off every week, and it is making 5 million colones revenue per month, bringing in 60 million colones ($120,000 USD) in revenue per year. However restaurant costs (food, front-line workers, chefs) add up to around $85,000 USD (40 million per year). Profit is around $30,000 per year (roughly).

The current owner has not put any effort into renting out the upstairs apartment or the hotel-rooms, but a little more attention and effort, this property can become a massive income generator as an Airbnb.
