I am not the outdoorsy type, nor do I have much tolerance for bugs or other critters. I was so concerned about this trip that we nearly cancelled. What a huge mistake that would have been! What a fantastic vacation! Every single thing about our 5 night stay at Lapa Rios was perfect. The rooms were extremely clean and well-kept.... more

This is a must go to place if you want an upscale eco-resort experience.From the very beginning you are both pampered and educated (but not in a heavy handed way). Wonderful and hardworking staff (Juan, the general manager was especially gracious - our son adored him) takes care of you and teaches you about sustainable travel and how they are... more

We started out honeymoon at Lapa Rios, and it could not have been any better. We were escorted from the Nature Air flight right to the Ecolodge and greeted with fresh blackberry juice. The bungalows were beautiful, and private. We stayed in the last bungalow, which was a hike from the lodge but it had a screen as the shower... more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about both the location and the staff of this beautiful ecolodge. From the time that I booked this property online to emails after returning, the service was absolutely incredible. First, the booking staff is excellent, friendly and informative. And, the same staff greets you at the Puerto Jiminez airport, instantly making you feel at... more
