Cobano - Healthy overall positioning (Market Score 78).

A score in the high-70s places Cobano among the stronger short-term-rental sub-markets in Costa Rica. Scores above 75 generally indicate good liquidity (steady bookings) while still leaving room for revenue optimisation.

Revenue is growing even as occupancy softens.

Annual revenue per listing is ≈ US $43.1 K, up 6 % year-on-year, while occupancy slipped two points to 51 %. The divergence means hosts are compensating for slightly fewer booked nights with higher nightly prices.

Pricing power is notable (ADR ≈ US $302.55, +10 %).

A double-digit rise in Average Daily Rate suggests demand in Cobano is relatively price-inelastic—possibly driven by higher-end inventory or an influx of longer-stay, deep-pocketed travellers. It also implies there may be room to push rates further during peak windows.

Yield efficiency is improving (RevPAR ≈ US $153.61, +7 %).

Revenue-per-available-night is outpacing occupancy changes, confirming that hosts are monetising available nights more effectively—either through dynamic pricing tools, tighter minimum-stay rules, or better listing presentation.

Regulatory climate and seasonality are mid-range but manageable.

Sub-scores show Rental Demand 66, Regulation 70, and Seasonality 61. Demand is solid for a secondary beach market; a Regulation score of 70 indicates a comparatively permissive local framework (important after recent crackdowns in other CR cantons); Seasonality in the low-60s hints at shoulder-season softness but not extreme volatility—helpful for cash-flow planning.
