(upbeat calypso music)
- Welcome back to What's Inside.
Today we are gonna show you what's inside of a very unique
Costa Rican airplane hotel, or vacation rental.
Behind me is a 727 that was actually brought
into the middle of the jungle with a crane
and placed here and then completely retrofitted
on the inside to be a beautiful Airbnb,
or VRBO, whatever you wanna call it.
Last night we slept inside of this thing
and today we wanna show what's inside
of this beautiful airplane rental home.
There is a nice roof that covers the top of this
and it covers both the patios.
There's a patio on both sides so it's kind of
at the giant section of the airplane
maybe this is where the door used to be
and they've put in this wooden door.
Look how beautiful the view is.
You've got an airplane and then the beach
which is right down there with little islands.
So we arrived last night around 11 o'clock.
It was dark, it was kind of hard to see the whole thing
and it's exciting to see it during the day,
but it was quite the travel process to get here.
So much so that it's almost noon and check out Lincoln.
Good morning buddy.
Good morning.
Here's the main room.
It does have two queen-sized beds inside
with Lincoln sleeping inside of it
and you can see the windows.
They don't have shades on them
and so it does get bright quite easy.
Somehow Lincoln has slept through it all until noon.
- I woke up at like seven for like 30 minutes
when the sun came up and now it's just like,
I'm going back to bed so I hid under the covers
a little bit. - Yeah.
- And then I was just like, okay I'm just gonna
close my eyes and hope that works and it did.
I got sleep.
- [Dan] You can sleep even with the sun coming in.
You have a safe over here to protect your valuables.
We have the air conditioner running at 62 degrees
to keep you cool.
Everything in here is wooden including the chandeliers.
You've got that, that wooden chandelier, this fan,
another fan and another chandelier here.
The walls are all wooden and they go
all the way around circular.
The lights above the bed all have
these Gray Goose Vodka bottles that are attached
on the chain, kind of a nice touch for
a plane-wrecked jungle hotel place.
- [Lincoln] Is that your definition of it.
(laughing)
- Now one of the best parts about this place
is that they did not get rid of the actual cockpit.
If you think about an airplane there's that door,
then there's the small cockpit,
and then what the first thing that you see
as you exit the cockpit?
It's usually a bathroom.
Well they decided to stay true to that
and now you've got a bathroom in the cockpit.
So here's your shower with a giant window
looking out into the jungle.
And then you have a full bathroom inside of here
with the toilet.
All the instrumentation is gone except for
these foot pedals over here.
The windows are sealed shut, but you can look outside
of the windows and you can see the jungle
and the ocean and the beautiful things
that are out there.
You guys know Lincoln.
This his friend Ky that's been in a lot videos.
We're actually spending time as families.
Our families get in today and we're gonna go
spend time at the beach and spend four or five days
in Costa Rica with them, but we thought
it would be fun to spend one night
in this unique hotel so we can show you guys
what this airplane hotel looks like.
- [Lincoln] Can I go see the cockpit now?
- [Dan] Lincoln has not seen the cockpit
in the daytime.
- Yeah, I saw at night but it's just black.
- [Dan] Alright boys hop in there.
- [Lincoln] Whoa there's like a little island out there.
- [Ky] Exactly.
- [Lincoln] That's cool, whoa.
Oh look, there's a little guy out there
do you see him?
- [Ky] Where.
- [Lincoln] He's on like a jet ski.
- You have two giant wooden dressers
that I don't even know how they got into this place,
a couple of queen-sized beds with a nice dresser in between.
There is a wireless router in every single room
with actually quite fast wifi.
It's like 20 download and 35 upload,
really good for being in the jungle in an airplane I think.
This is the first main room with the two
queen-sized beds and when you leave that room
you enter the main part of the airplane
with the two doors that go to both patios.
A TV, a giant window, a nice little sitting area
with a futon chair.
- Oh, this chair's cool.
I like how it's like sit here.
- [Dan] So you can sit here in the plane at nighttime
on your nice cozy chair and you can watch
your favorite show, maybe, Lost, sounds good to you?
- [Lincoln] Yeah.
- [Dan] Up the three stairs and you come into
the main area with the dining room table,
the main door to go out to the first patio
where you first walk in and Lincoln
have you ever seen a sloth before?
- Let's bring out the cutest sloth.
- You didn't.
- No I really want to though.
- [Dan] Alright, go out there on the porch
I did see one this morning.
Let's see if we can still find it.
- [Lincoln] Oh it's so nice and warm out.
- [Dan] It's so warm.
- [Lincoln] Wow, where is it.
- [Dan] The sloth again, you can't hardly see,
but when he moves.
- That's a sloth.
- [Dan] He's just moving slowly.
- [Lincoln] Hey sloth.
- Maybe if you talk-- - Sloth.
- [Dan] If you talk to him in that voice
he usually like to move.
Right Ky, you've been here for longer than I have.
- Yeah, I've never talked to a Sloth though.
- A full-sized kitchen and nothing inside
of the fridge.
A sink, we have a toaster, garbage, stove-cooking top,
a coffee maker.
Just beyond the kitchen you see another door
and when you open it up you come
into the second bedroom suite.
This is the room that I slept in last night.
It's a nice queen-sized bed, super comfortable,
has it's own air conditioning unit.
You're a little bit tucked into the jungle more
back here so this room doesn't get as bright as early.
So this airplane hotel is a two bedroom,
two bath place.
Here is the second bathroom and it's cool
because it's in the caboose of the airplane,
the very, very back.
And so it's a little bit smaller.
Come on inside.
Here's the second bathroom and it's so cool.
Check out this shower where the showerhead
points straight down to you and then outside,
this is not glass, this is just open
to the outside engine exhaust area of the airplane.
When I showered this morning I had to make the decision
do I want this open with the fresh air coming in
or do I wanna protect my privacy
and have it covered?
I chose to have it open.
(aaaaahhhhhh)
One nice touch about this is if you look up
into the roof you can see out into the top of the airplane
and out through the roof.
It doesn't take you long to walk across
the entire length of the airplane.
This is the bathroom and then you walk right into
the second bedroom, and up a few stairs
to the patio,
what's up Lincoln. - Hi dad.
- Into the kitchen, to the dining room,
go down a couple of steps and you're down
into the family room and now here we are into
the master suite with two beds inside of it.
- [Lincoln] And the amazing awesome cockpit.
- The cockpit with the bathroom inside of it.
Underneath the airplane you can see
where the electrical boxes all come down
into the hot water and cold water heater
and you can even see the landing gear is down
and ready to roll.
This airplane is part of a bigger hotel property
so you get all the amenities of a real hotel.
There's a swimming pool, there's like an exercise area.
The reason why you come to Costa Rica
is not exactly to stay inside of a beautiful airplane hotel,
that's a fun part of it, but it's to go to the beach.
So we are off to the beach, we're gonna have fun,
go spend some time with the family.
And if you ever wanna stay here we'll put a link
in the description.
This is not a sponsored video we just thought
it would be super unique.
This will range anywhere from $300 to $500 a night
which is not bad considering that
you have a two bedroom, two bath hotel,
you're in an actual airplane in the jungle
not too far from the beach.
Definitely think it's worth the money.
- Yeah, just like you can stay in it
for like for only one night like we did, it was so cool,
I loved it.
- I don't know.
- I chose to have it open.
