A graceful boutique hotel, Casa Natalia is on San José's most charming street. Rooms are done in regional Mexican motifs and have soft robes, king-size beds, remote-control air-conditioning, and private patios screened by bamboo and bougainvillea. Suites have hot tubs and hammocks on large terraces. A free shuttle takes you to a beach club in the Corridor. The restaurant, Mi Cocina, is fabulous. Staffers are helpful and welcoming. (Families take note: children under 13 aren't allowed.)
