Almost all of the hotels here specialize in package tours, including all your meals, fishing and tackle, taxes, and usually your transportation and liquor too, so rates are high. There are no dependable budget hotels, and Barra remains a remote and difficult destination for independent and budget travelers. In addition to the places listed, Casa Mar Lodge (tel. 800/543-0282 in the U.S. and Canada, or 2710-8093 in Costa Rica; www.casamarlodge.com) is a long-standing fishing lodge that is popular with hard-core anglers.
