Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Eco Sanctuary, hotel in Golfito

Providing garden views, Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Eco Sanctuary in Golfito provides accommodation, a garden, a private beach area, a terrace, a restaurant and a bar.

It's been 3 weeks and we're still dreaming of @nicuesalodge our final stop in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 This place was so magical. From the moment we arrived (by boat) to this protected paradise we were welcomed by name and were in awe. 🌴 The staff, (all 25 to 20 guests!) get to know everyone and from our favourite server and cocktail maker, Kimberley to the tour guides, and maintenance were so friendly. That's the tico way 🙂 ❤️ The lodge itself is IN the raiforest, which seas and national park are protected. We even went to the Golfo Dulce to see wild dolphins, one of the worlds 4 tropical fjords! 🐬 We left with smiles and full hearts, and it really felt like an honour to be part of this special place. Thank you, you define Pura Vida 🌿

The setting was wonderful. The staff were very kind & helpful. It is a fantastic place. Accommodation was basic but very clean. Understandable considering the location. Fantastic bird sightings. Really loved our walks with Kevin, he was so knowledgeable & helped me get some fantastic photographs. I would recommend staying here definitely if you love nature.

Dolphin Quest Costa Rica, hotel in Piedras Blancas

With mountain views, Dolphin Quest Costa Rica is situated in Piedras Blancas and has a restaurant, a shared kitchen, bar, garden, seasonal outdoor pool and barbecue.

Incredible location, and great combination of both forest and marine in one place. Beautiful tropical gardens on the property complete with macaws and monkeys, and great guided excursions into rainforest, mangrove, and marine habitats. You are staying in a jungle so be prepared re: bugs, temperature and humidity. As a solo traveller it was super welcoming and friendly, and you feel at home quite quickly. As well as the activities it was also great just to chill out around the gardens or by the beach, or to just take a kayak and explore. The food was also amazing and a highlight for me, lots of fruit and veg grown on site, fresh fish if it was caught that day etc.

Corcovado Beach Lodge, hotel in Puerto Jiménez

Featuring free WiFi, Corcovado Beach Lodge offers eco-friendly accommodation in Puerto Jiménez. Free private parking is available on site.

The place is beautifully cared for, with a variety of lodging options each set apart from the others. The lidge is a few steps away from the far end of a peaceful and calm beach so generally one is alone there. Also in walking distance of a nice beachfront restaurant/bar. The owner Tomas is very friendly and helpful, as is his assistant Julia. They let me bring my dog! I actually spent 3 nights there, not 1. I will recommend it to friends

Saladero Ecolodge, hotel in Esquinas

Set on the beachfront within Piedras Blancas National Park, Saladero Ecolodge is surrounded by rainforest and is accessible only by boat.

The location is good. But the lodge relies too heavily on its position and seems to feel that the location is enough to justify the lack of basic facilities.

Four Monkeys Eco Lodge - Jungle & Beach, hotel in Cabo Matapalo

Set in Cabo Matapalo, Four Monkeys Eco Lodge - Jungle & Beach offers free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden, a private beach area and a terrace.

Silvina is so sweet and she cares so much about creating a special experience for guests. Four Monkeys is relatively new, so the rooms are super clean, and the mattresses and very comfy. It's definitely a step above glamping (feels more like a hotel room than a tent) but still open-air. Sunrises from the room are amazing. I really recommend it for nature lovers. We did an amazing tour with corcovadotours.com and they picked us up right at Four Monkeys. The beach is basically private and great for a swim once (just be careful with the rocks). There are also two clean breaks for surfing on either side of the lodge here and boards for rent. Silvina is doing a lot of work to actively improve the space and is eager to help make her guests' experience memorable. She made a delicious breakfast for us too w/ eggs and fresh fruit from the garden. I will definitely come back when in Osa again. Oh yea and the doggies on premise are awesome.

    There was no breakfast but there are places just down the road. It is a lodge, so its simple and basic, no AC, no hot water but that is what I expected. The gardens and local fauna are amazing.

    Since it wasn’t our first visit to his lodge, we knew him (the owner) and the area around it already. The fact that we have been here 3 times, should speak for itself. The rooms are modest and the nature around it, is unbelievable. Breakfast with monkeys and Tucans will be unforgettable. The owner is very forthcoming, he even took the time to help us with our car troubles.

    Situated in the middle of the rainforest, the Purruja Lodge offers a nice, green space to relax and watch the wildlife. The stuff was friendly and uncomplicated. We asked for breakfast at arrival and it was really nice and also cheap.
