Small Distinctive Hotels Go Green With Seasonal Rates

NEW YORK - July 5, 2016 - PRLog -- For those seeking an extended summer vacation that includes jungle, beach and city, Costa Rica's Small Distinctive Hotels (www.distinctivehotels.com) group of hand-selected boutique properties is ready to welcome travelers looking for a one-of-kind stay across this fascinating country.

Summertime in the U.S. and Canada is actually Costa Rica's shoulder season- called "Green Season," in fact, thanks to the rainfall from May to November. It's a time when the country's jungles come alive with rich vegetation and newborn wildlife curious to explore the verdant world around them, a time when the rivers are high but the tide of visitors subsides.

With direct flights continuing to operate throughout the season from Boston, Chicago, Denver, Orlando, New York, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Miami and other North American air gateways, it's also a perfect time of year for bargain hunters, family vacations, adventurer travelers and romantic getaways.

Prepackaged summer deals can be found online at www.distinctivehotels.com/green-season-deals. In addition, travelers can request a tailor-made itinerary by contacting Small Distinctive Hotels' concierge service by e-mail at marketing@distinctivehotels.com. Travel agent rates and commissions are available on a hotel basis.
