Firstly I noticed that there are some negative comments from people below, so I will deal with those first. Especially about bugs and the lack of privacy. Bugs....... You are in a rainforest..... Yes there are bugs and for a wussy Brit like me, this was going to be a problem... But actually it wasn't, it was part of the... More

My family (including 2 daughters, ages 12 and 10) stayed at Lapa Rios for 5 nights at the end of March 2013. We had a fabulous time, and feel like we a more authentic Costa Rica experience than if we had gone to a resort at the beaches in the north. The bungalows are comfortable and clean; ours looked out... More

My wife and I spent 7 nights in mid-March, our first trip to the Osa Peninsula as well as to Costa Rica.

We were graciously greeted at the airport by Lapa Rios... More

We recently returned from a 13 day stay in Costa Rica - our first trip to this beautiful country. We started our trip with a 4 night stay at Lapa Rios.
