Boeing 727 Fuselage Suite at the
Hotel Costa Verde
The fully outfitted, meticulously detailed, two bedroom, Boeing 727
fuselage suite. The Hotel Costa Verde have refurbished a vintage
1965 Boeing 727 airframe, which in its prior life shuttled
globetrotters on South Africa Air and Avianca Airlines (Colombia).
The folks at Hotel Costa Verde salvaged this airframe, piece by
piece, from its San Jose airport resting place. We carefully
transported the pieces on five, big-rig trucks to the jungles of
Manuel Antonio where they have been resurrected into a unique jumbo
hotel suite. Our classic airplane, nestled on the edge of the
National Park in our Costa Verde II area, is perched on a 50-foot
pedestal. At this height, you will enjoy scenic ocean and jungle
views from the hard wood deck built atop the plane's former right
wing.
