They salvaged this airframe from its San Jose airport-resting place. They carefully transported the pieces on five, big-rig trucks to the jungles of Manuel Antonio where they have been resurrected into a unique jumbo hotel suite. Their classic airplane, nestled on the edge of the National Park in our Costa Verde II area, is perched on a 50-foot pedestal. At this height, you will enjoy scenic ocean and jungle views from the hard wood deck built atop the plane's former right wing.
The plane's interior is Costa Rican teak paneling from the cockpit to the tail.
Furnishings are hand-carved, teak furniture from Java, Indonesia. The 727 home features two air conditioned bedrooms--one with two queen sized beds and the other with one queen sized bed, each with its own private bath—a flat screen TV, a kitchenette, dining area foyer; an ocean view terrace; a private entrance up a river rock, spiral staircase; and 360 degrees of surrounding gardens.
The refurbished Boeing 727 home is not the only such dwelling in the world: It was inspired by a Forbes Magazine article about a company offering hurricane-proof living via surplus Boeing 727 airframes! They were intrigued and found some new ways to introduce convenience and luxury to this very prosaic bit of aluminum scrap.
