We spent three days this past spring at Lodge Las Ranas and really couldn't have asked for better quality and customer service than we had at the Lodge. It was quiet, romantic, secluded and just a short drive down to both Samara Beach and Carillo Beach. The breakfast was always great and one morning we woke to find howler monkeys... more

Where to start? The place is beautiful, with a great view and lots of wildlife all around, ie the howler monkeys, iguanas, lots of cool birds etc. The staff, and by this I mean not only the French Canadian owners, but also their amazing employees, were all so great to us. And what a benefit to world travelers, they speak... more

The bathroom was also very roomy and very clean. Our room had huge windows plus french doors opening onto the balcony so the fantastic view of the ocean and mountains... more
