WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

Ocean and jungle combine at the wonderful Lapa Rios, a beautiful eco retreat and thousand acre private reserve hidden amongst lush tropical forest deep in Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula. Lapa Rios was a pioneer in sustainable tourism and still holds conservation at its very core. There is no air-con, no internet, no TV nor phones to disturb you, just the distant lapping of the ocean and the melodic chorus of the forest. The surrounding forest teems with wildlife especially birds and each day guests can sign up to a range of nature walks accompanied by naturalist guides. Lapa Rios also enjoys direct access to a number of beaches and can also organise riding, fishing, kayaking and surfing. During the heat of day, you can take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, bird-watch from the comfort of your hammock or head to the lodge’s the small observation tower. Lapa Rios is a wonderful option in the Osa Peninsula and would suit both couples, families, naturalists and honeymooners alike.
