We had so much fun with last Friday’s How Much Is This Hotel? challenge that we’re bringing it back this week — and once again, you’ve got a chance to win a fun prize!
Here’s the scoop: We want you to guess the maximum nightly rate of the hotel room pictured below. Enter your guess in the comments, and be sure to include a valid e-mail address (so we can contact you in case you win). Remember, a la “The Price Is Right,” the person who guesses closest to the price of the room without going over wins a free IndependentTraveler.com T-shirt. Here’s the room:

A few hints to help you along:
1. The room is part of a luxurious cottage on the beach, just steps from the sea.
2. Each cottage has its own private garden, screened porch and Japanese-style bath.
3. The decor may be inspired by the beach cabanas of Bali, but this property is located in the only Central American country where English is the official language.
Remember, we’re looking for the maximum nightly price for two people as listed on the property’s Web site, excluding holidays, coupon codes or package rates. Enter your answer by Sunday night, June 5, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time to win. We’ll contact the winner and reveal the answer on Monday.
