From the second the boat pulled up to the dock in the pouring rain, I knew we were going to have a fabulous time. This resort is in an incredible location on the Golfo Dolce--accessible only by boat and set back in the jungle. The area around the lodge is so beautiful that no matter where you look, it's a... more

We were at Playa Nicuesa for 4 nights. After getting off the boat, I thought "oh my gosh, what will we do here for 4 days?" It is completely isolated on the Golfo Dulce. But the time really flew by. Each day Luis, the incredible manager, asked me what we would like to do the next day. And each outing... more

We just returned from Playa Nicuesa last night and wanted to write this while everything is so clear in our minds. From the first communication with Marcela to make arrangements, to our goodbye hugs when we left, this was one of our more remarkable vacations! This place is magical and its a little difficult to be specific about why.... the... more

Gorgeous rooms- open air baths- holler monkeys in lieu of alarm closks, food great, worth the trip (and it was a trip) to get there! The owners and staff were fabulous- We kayaked, went deep sea fishing, ate breakfast with thd spider monkeys, watched wild boar run through the rainforest, saw Caiman (croc family) and rainbow Boas, and the beautiful... more

This was our 3rd trip to Costa Rica and we are sorry that we waited until now to stay at Playa Nicuesa. Difficult to know where to begin - the people, the place and the atmosphere are hard to beat. We were there from January 3rd through the 6th with friends who were on their first trip to CR. We... more

Pickup was excellent, very nice, very accomodating. The staff is extremely professional and friendly. Very accomodating. The place seemed to have several goals and they achieved them. It was nice to have access to gear without all the extra costs and the need for a guide. We could kayak and hike and kind of live there for a few days.... more

We were searching for the perfect vacation at the time, something more remote and not so touristy. We were not at all familiar with eco tourism at the time and finally came across Playa Nicuesa Lodge after searching Google for quite some time. We decided to go instantly. Playa Nicuesa is undrescribable from the surreal boat ride in from Puerto... more

I made a reservation with Playa Nicuesa through the eco hotels and lodge collection website. After receiving a confirmation email from them, I bought 2 expensive plane tickets. After a week of not having any charges made to my card, I emailed them on 2 separate occasions asking them to charge my credit card. The poor customer service and no... more

Where to begin? The cabins are gorgeous, as is the main building. The bar is so cool the cocktail hour is a great way to get acquainted with th other guests. The staff are universally polite, efficient, well-trained, and gregarious. Wildlife abounds. Kayaking, snorkeling & fishing were all great. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. more
