Registration Page for  Free Business Listings

We welcome listings for any type of business, (gay or straight owned), that welcomes all tourists with no double standards.  This is a FREE service!  We have two website guides for travelers to Costa Rica.  One is the "Travel Guide to Costa Rica," for the general public, the other is the "Gay & Lesbian Guide to Costa Rica."

The only requirement to be on one or both guides, is that your business does not discriminate in any way, (basis of sex, race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, etc.),  in the way guests are treated.  For example:  If it is appropriate for a man and a woman to hold hands or give a quick kiss by your hotel pool, then it should also be appropriate for two men or two women to do the same.  If the owners, management, or staff of your business feel that this is not appropriate, then you should not list your business here.  Many times hotels want the "gay money," but are unwilling to give lesbigay clients the same first-class treatment and respect that other guests are given.  The spirit of equal treatment of all people, including Costa Ricans and foreigners, is guaranteed by the Constitution of Costa Rica.

Please enter your information into all blanks:

Your personal name?

Your connection to this Business? (owner, manager, etc.)

Which guide? (select one)  

Your listing as you would like it to appear.  Remember to include:  Name of Business,  Contact Information (Telephone, Fax, Website and Email addresses, etc.),  Location, Amenities,  Rates in both seasons, (as applicable).

Remember that many people print-out these guides and bring them on their trip.  If you are located in a remote location, include  travel information, (options and directions), how your place can be reached.   You can use the other listings to give you an idea what to include.  (click here) http://members.aol.com/GayCRica/guide.html

Would you like to be on a mailing list for ACES, Asociación Creativa de EmpresarioS?  ACES is an organization of gay and non-gay business people in Costa Rica.  It was created in May, 1997 for the purposes of 1) promoting tourism to Costa Rica in the lesbigay local and world market, 2) supporting commerce among the membership, and 3) supporting projects that benefit the well being of the lesbigay community in Costa Rica. Members of the elected board of directors have met with the former and current Presidents of ICT to discuss matters concerning Lesbigay Tourism in Costa Rica.   Would you like to be notified of meetings and other news about ACES?(select one):

Would you like to earn extra money by working with Rainbows in Paradise, S.A., (real estate) ?   As a "Referral Associate" in your area, we will give you information to show guests, and generous commissions based on a percentage of the sale, (not just a token referral fee). This is paid directly to you for each buyer you refer to us, when the transaction is completed.  We ask that you tell us of unique properties and good deals that you think our clients may be interested in.  Another option is to become a "Full Associate," functioning as a regular real estate agent with the support of the resources and  networking advantages, and of course, receives a higher percentage of the commissions. Unlike most real estate agencies, there is no sales quota.  You can spend as much or as little time as you'd like and your percentage of the commission is based on your level of participation in that particular transaction.

This is a FREE listing service. Our Gay & Lesbian Guide has had over 30,000 visitors in the first two and a half years (since the counter was added).  You may not realize how much business we send your way since our website listings include links directly to your own website.  However, the business owners who 've talked with their guests, and ask how they found their business, have been very impressed with the number of guests who have mentioned our website guides.

Over the past years, a number of the businesses have sent emails to us with invitations for complimentary weekends at their hotels or dinner for two at their restaurants, to show their appreciation for the guests we have referred to them. This  has also been  an opportunity for us to see the places that we often receive email questions about. Previously we have been very generous with our "personal" recommendations.  A recent email from a tourist who had a bad experience has prompted us to now only recommend places that we actually know about.  For those hotels, restaurants, and tourist services that we have first-hand knowledge, we add "Author's Personal Recommendation!" to the listing.   If you would like to extend your invitation, just put a note here.    Please select one of the following:
