Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Hidden in the hilltops overlooking the pristine beaches of Costa Rica's still-virgin south pacific, where the ocean crashes into the jungle sits La Cusinga. Tucked away in a private reserve of over 600 acres, this rainforest lodge provides guests with sweeping ocean views, sandy beaches, natural pools, and the chance to experience the burgeoning forests and astonishing wildlife of the country's most famous ecosystem - OSA. The hotel offers ten rooms designed with sustainably-harvested wood and local materials to maximize comfort while minimizing impact on the environment. The open-air restaurant creates an ideal setting for couples and families alike to enjoy delicious tropical dishes made with fresh produce grown on our farm. In addition to the hundreds of acres of privately-owned primary and secondary forest, the lodge borders the Ballena Marine National Park, one of only two nationally-protected marine zones in the whole country. The lodge's genuine commitment to sustainable practices along with our first-hand experience in local and national conservation efforts enrich our guests' appreciation of these ecosystems and the importance of their continued preservation. This unique insight enhances the exploration of the natural surroundings while the beautiful location offers the tranquility of fresh ocean breezes and breathtaking sunsets that make for the perfect tropical escape. ... more less

“Ocean Paradise”

Reviewed 1 June 2013 via mobile

La Cusinga Lodge is one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. The location on the cliffs above the ocean provides breathtaking views. The rooms are clean and beautifully decorated. At night we were lulled to sleep with the waves breaking on the shore below. The rainforest surrounding the lodge allow easy access to nature hikes with the... More

“One of the most beautiful locations in Costa Rica !”

Reviewed 24 May 2013

La Cusinga was one of the most beautiful spots visited in Costa Rica on this trip. The beautiful private hiking trails in the surrounding rain forest were a highlight. The access to the beach in Marina Ballena Park was very special and made for some fun times in the surf. The panoramic view from the beautiful deck was astounding. We... More

“Really lovely!”

Reviewed 20 May 2013

Amazing views, great chances to either be in the forest or near the water. When i think of an eco lodge i always hope that I'll have an experience that's close to nature, and that's what I got. Along with a place that focuses on the least amount of impact on the planet as possible. They do a wonderful job... More

“A little rustic”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

We were due a 4night stay at La Cusinga, but ended up with just one night. A combination of a very bad dinner followed by scorpion and cockroach in the bedroom meant we re thought our plans and relocated to Manuel Antonio. On a plus side, the staff are really friendly and there are lots of birds in the grounds,... More

La Cusinga is a beautiful, simple property with expansive ocean views from the main deck. The food is fresh and wonderful and also simple. Think fish with a tasty sauce or salsa on the side, delicious soups and salad, grilled vegetables, home made corn tortillas and home made ice cream, etc. There are several hiking trails through rain forest-- shoes...

“Overpriced and disappointing”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

My husband and I stayed at La Cusinga Lodge, as part of out honeymoon in Costa Rica. The good reviews on Tripadvisor and the fact that it was the highest price we paid in the whole trip (140$ per night after discount) made us book a room for 3 nights, thinking it would be a good place to indulge ourselves....
