Lapa Rios is a rare and beautiful place. If you read the many reviews, you'll find a few folks who had some issues with Lapa Rios. In short, the resort is not necessarily for everyone since certain amenities (phones, WiFi and cell phone access, air conditioning, television, music, etc.) are notably absent. However, if you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime... more

We have nothing but rave reviews for Lapa Rios. The food and its presentation were very good. The cottages are in small groups, scattered along a hill. Each cottage has screens for walls which allows for hearing the howler monkeys at night-interesting experience. The bed was very comfortable and slept very well. There is a net around the bed but... more

this was always going to be the premium hotel on our trip given the price it costs to stay here but thankfully it was worth the money. perched on a ridge in the middle of the rainforest the views are almost 360degrees with the best reserved for those who are awake to watch the sunrise over the horizon. the individual... more

Lapa Rios is a haven of comfort in the midst of a wildlife haven. We found the food especially nice, the rooms delightful (a sloth climbing a tree outside our cabin!) and the activities on offer excellent. We had brilliant guiding for birds and animals and highly recommend the day trip into the nearby Corcovado Park. The many trails around... more

There is no internet of any kind, no phones, no cell coverage, no music anywhere, and no room service. I stayed in one of the worse... more

My bungalow sat just far enough away from the main house to afford me privacy from the other guests. The view to the bay was spectacular. I flicked grasshoppers and other such bugs from my netted bed cover at night only to find them gone in the morning. This is definitely old world and not intended for the faint of... more

It was with some trepidation that we visited Lapa Rios for the third time -after all how could the place retain its wonder for us 4 years after our second visit? In the interim we have been to Peru and Ecuador twice, Panama and Europe, as well as various domestic destinations.We were headed there at the end of what was... more

We stayed at Lapa Rios for two nights on our honeymoon, and would definitely go back. The staff was fantastic - everyone was wonderful and accomodating. They checked in with us and conversed with us, answered questions about the wildlife and told us about the culture. They were really all fantastic, lovely people. The food was great - we stuck... more

This is by far one of the most amazing places I've ever been. The lodges, the service, the food, the offered tours and in general everything in Lapa Rios is AMAZING! I can describe the stay in Lapa Rios as once in a life-time experience. The concept of this sustainable eco-lodge is innovative and perfect. there is not a single... more
