We decided to obtain the Marca Pais certification because we strongly identify with the values of quality, sustainability, innovation, and excellence that represent Costa Rica internationally. As Homewood Suites by Hilton Cariari San Jose, we believe that the “Essential Costa Rica” license strengthens our credibility and demonstrates our commitment to responsible tourism, economic development, and the promotion of high value, differentiated experiences. Our hotel welcomes both corporate travelers and leisure guests seeking comfort, safety, and reliable service; therefore, aligning with a globally recognized country brand allows us to further elevate our standards and contribute to positioning Costa Rica as a competitive, sustainable, and forward-thinking destination. The certification also connects us to a national network of organizations committed to continuous improvement, innovation, and long-term growth. By joining Esencial Costa Rica, we support the country’s efforts to promote investment, enhance competitiveness, and contribute to the growth of sustainable tourism nationwide.
