Our new SkyLoft is something very different: the best ocean views offered at Hotel Costa Verde from the balcony and terrace of a vintage refurbished 1982, McDonald Douglas, MD-82 airframe. The fuselage's two bedrooms offer a total of four queen sized beds, with a dinner table for eight, a wet bar and an adjacent living room on the 800 square foot terrace that has separate access to each bedroom.
In addition, five stories above the jungle floor, SkyLoft has a romantic balcony hanging off the master bedroom. We call this spot the 'Scenic Soak' because of the addition of a soak tub, offering the best ocean view from a tub that anyone has ever heard of. Floating in the tub, on top of the world.....maybe you will not even realize that you have landed at Hotel Costa Verde: where the beach meets the jungle.
At the end of its prior life, our jet was flying charters for Ukrainian vacation revelers, from Kiev to Turkey's Mediterranean beaches. We salvaged the aluminum airframe from its San Jose airport-resting-place, carefully transported the pieces on several articulated, big-rig trucks that are designed for moving cell towers.
