Now you can make your next Costa Rican vacation even more unique by staying in the Costa Verde 727 Fuselage Suite ($300-$350/day), a luxuriously appointed, fully refurbished fuselage of a retired Boeing 727. This retired airframe was salvaged from San Jose and transported piece by piece through the jungle where it was reassembled atop a 50-foot pedestal. Featuring a terrace opening up to the edge of the Costa Verde National Park, the interior is furnished with handmade teak furniture from Java, and the walls are linked with teak panelling. Luxury touches include two air conditioned rooms with queen-sized beds, private baths, flat screen televisions, and even a secluded river-rock spiral staircase entrance. This is one plane that won't cramp your style. While you're there, don't forget to have dinner at El Avion, a converted C-123 airplane like the ones used in the Iran Contra affair (really).
