Hotel Los Tajibos
This sprawling hotel on the edge of the city and 15 minutes from the airport is a series of low-slung buildings surrounded by lush gardens and feels more like a remote tropical resort than a city hotel. Due to its high prices, it is most frequented by business travelers who utilize the on-site convention center. El Papagayo restaurant serves excellent seafood, and the stunning Jardin de Asia is one of the city's best dinner spots.
