Setting a new standard for retirement homes in Costa Rica, the brand-new Bello Horizonte Hotel & Apartments in downtown San José reimagines the often dreary world of elder care with hotel-style comfort, service and food.
Officially opening April 22, the Bello Horizonte offers single-occupancy rooms, private bathrooms, food service five times a day and a full schedule of social and therapeutic activities, making it not only the newest but perhaps the most appealing facility in all of Costa Rica dedicated to caring for people in their golden years.

“We started this to change the concept of care for older adults in Costa Rica,” said Ana Isabel Alvarado Cerdas, director of Bello Horizonte. “This is not an abandonment center.”
