Ocean Park Hotels offers out of the ordinary travel experiences capturing the imagination of travelers worldwide, while preserving the beauty and health of fragile natural environments for future generations.
Company Overview
Ocean Park Hotels is a provider of luxury, eco-tourism accommodations and out of the ordinary travel experiences. The company is a registered SRL (equivalent to LLC) in the Republic of Costa Rica. Founded in 2015, Ocean Park is fully owned by the founder, Youri Benoiston, and has yet to take on any external investors.
Ocean Park has two years’ operating experience running a hostel in our launch market of Quepos, Costa Rica – a prime tourist destination within minutes of Costa Rican beaches and Manuel Antonio National Park.
The firm is cash flow positive and poised to launch an expansion program, upon receipt of a round of seed funding, leveraging the scalable process and proven technology of the established green housing company, Green Magic Homes.
The Market Opportunity
Ocean Park is located in one of the most popular regions of one of the most popular ecotourism destinations worldwide – Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. Costa Rica has a robust and growing tourism market, reaching $2.8 Billion USD in 2015 according to the Costa Rican Tourism Board – a 9% YOY growth 2014-2015. The country set a new record in 2016 with record of 2.9 million visitors. It is predicted that by 2025, international tourist arrivals in Costa Rica will total 4,077,000.
The Global Ecotourism market is also booming, capturing $77 billion USD in 2015 and experiencing double-digit gains that are likely to accelerate as concern about global warming rises.
Our Solution
Ocean Park plans to capture a significant share of existing and future ecotourism business within Costa Rica and ultimately across Latin America, by deploying a rapid scaling model of cost-efficient and unique boutique eco-hotels, with strong brand recognition.
Our first destination will be situated on exclusive beach front property in a popular destination, Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica with a design inspired by the Hobbit villages of the popular Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Our campus of 28 unique eco-lodging options will be cost-effectively developed leveraging the scalable process and proven technology of the established company, Green Magic Homes.
Competitive Advantage
Ocean Park will garner a competitive advantage by combining Eco-tourism sensibilities and “smart home” technologies with unique & whimsical design. Unlike the majority of lodging options, which are either small mom & pop shops, or dry corporate chains, we will customize each campus to its unique location and transport travelers to a place out of space and time, while maintaining the highest standards for ecotourism.
The firm has additional advantages that will attract customers and provide a healthy financial standing.
• Location: Prime Manuel Antonio location within a short walk to Playa Espadilla and a 15 minute walk to Manuel Antonio national park.
• Our local competitors are located farther away from both of these prime attractions.
• Unique & Ecologically Friendly Design – While nearly 100% of the lodgings in Costa Rica stake a claim as eco-friendly, many are greenwashing and do not provide strong sustainability strategies for managing their properties and stewarding the land and cultural heritage.
• In addition, our attention to provide a unique and whimsical design, with our first campus modeled after the Hobbit Homes of the famed Lord of the Rings trilogy, we will stand out quickly from the pack with green literally covering each lodging unit.
• Use of Green Magic Homes prefabricated construction
• Efficient & Cost-effective construction
• Proven technology & design
• 15 year track record

Ocean Park Hotels’ target customers are medium to high budget travelers, who are likely to identify themselves as both “Eco-conscious” & tech savvy. Additionally, we are appealing to the “conscious adventurer” crowd, who is in search of a unique experience that allows them access to natural landscapes, while also providing a little something extra to create that fantasy getaway experience.
Geographically, Ocean Park will firmly establish our brand at our launch location in Quepos and then gradually expand first in Costa Rica, and then to new Latin American markets.
