Tico Travel Offers Free Night at the La Sirena Hotel on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica

With purchase of any ticket on Taca or Lasca airlines

Quepos, Costa Rica -- Tico Travel (www.ticotravel.com) and La Sirena Adventure Hotel (www.lasirenahotel.com) announced today they will offer a free night at the new La Sirena Adventure Hotel, located in the marina district of downtown Quepos, to anyone traveling on Taca or Lasca airlines from now until November 15, 2005.

“It’s a great way to visit one of the most popular areas of Costa Rica, Quepos, home of the Manuel Antonio National Park,” said Tico Travel's owner, Rob Hodel, an expert on Costa Rica travel who lives in the area.

Hodel says this part of Costa Rica is known for its coastal beauty and lush landscapes, and is ideal for whitewater rafting, jungle canopy tours, ocean and river kayaking, horseback riding, surfing classes and tours, sportfishing and sunset cruises, all of which are offered by Tico Travel.

There are no minimum stays required at the newly renovated boutique hotel La Sirena, which has a brand new swimming pool and tiki bar. The hotel’s air-conditioned 14 rooms are equipped with flat screen televisions with cable, mini-fridges, digital safes and high-end towels and linens.

"Costa Rica is lacking in quality accommodations at the price range of the La Sirena. Once word gets out you will be hard pressed to find room here come high season,” Hodel added. “So this is a great way for people to see the best of Costa Rica at a real bargain."

This offer has “no strings attached,” said Hodel, whose company is recognized as a leader in the Costa Rica travel industry, making it a go-to destination for hoteliers who want to expand their reach into and throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Tico Travel is also offering some hefty discounts on a number of fall airfares to Costa Rica. Traveling on a weekday from September 1 to November 11, Tico is offering the following roundtrip fares plus tax on major airlines: From New York, JFK: $295; Tampa: $175; Los Angeles: $250; Miami $190 and other cities.
