Turnkey Hotel & Bar in Sierpe | 7 Bed / 6 Bath

This is a rare opportunity to own a fully operational hotel, hostel, and bar in the heart of Sierpe — one of Costa Rica's most strategic gateway towns — for just $170,000. Known locally as The Sweet Escape, this income-producing Sierpe property for sale sits on a generous 1,372 m² lot and includes two separate structures totaling approximately 4,000 square feet across 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.

The main hotel building features two hostel-style rooms (sleeping up to 4 guests each), two private rooms with A/C and hot water, and an additional private room. A self-contained one-bedroom apartment on the southern corner is ideal for a live-in owner or on-site manager. On the northern end, a second one-bedroom apartment with A/C and hot water caters to longer-stay guests, with an adjacent room already plumbed for use as an office or kitchenette. There is also ample space on the lot to add a swimming pool.

The second structure is the Boca-Bar, featuring bar-top seating for 8, dining capacity for over 30 across two levels, and a full kitchen with food prep and cooking areas. The bar is currently closed and will need renovation to reactivate health department permits — a factor already reflected in the reduced asking price. Alternatively, the bar space can be converted into a communal kitchen and lounge for hostel guests at minimal cost.

The Sweet Escape has a strong booking history on Airbnb and other travel platforms, consistently filling up during peak season. When the bar was operational, it turned a profit year-round. At just $128 per square meter, this Costa Rica real estate listing is priced well below comparable commercial properties in the area.

Sierpe is the primary departure point for boat transfers to Drake Bay and the Osa Peninsula — one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. The town sees steady tourist traffic from wildlife enthusiasts, hikers, and adventure travelers year-round, making it a strong location for hospitality investment. For expats exploring Costa Rica homes for sale with built-in cash flow, this turnkey business is ready for a new owner to step in and operate from day one.
