Lapa Rios Ecolodge is set in a private nature reserve spread over 1,000 acres of Central America's last remaining lowland tropical rainforest in Costa Rica. Lapa Rios Ecolodge overlooks the pristine point where the Golfo Dulce meets the wild Pacific Ocean, making it the destination that matches every one's idea of paradise.

Lapa Rios is built in harmony with the surrounding forest and beach environment. The main lodge and bungalows line three ridges connected by walking paths and steps. Built over 350 feet above the sea, Lapa Rios catches the cooling tropical breezes. The main lodge, housing the restaurant and bar, soars 50 feet and is built of local, natural materials. Palm thatched roofs meet a three-story hardwood circular stairway. Climb to overlook the forest canopy and breathtaking ocean vistas.

Sixteen spacious suite-thatch bungalows nestled within the rain forest exude harmony and an immense tranquility in this undisturbed environment. Soft nets cascade over two bamboo queen size beds casting a magical romantic mood. Classic bamboo furnishings are elegantly arranged, while sporadic splashes of green orange and red garden arrangements color this simply beautiful setting.

Newly remodeled bathrooms invite you on a sensory journey, featuring a dual showering experience. On one side, a stone-laid floor massages your feet as you shower under a soft, rain-like cold water shoot that gives you the unique sensation of showering in your own private waterfall.

The other side offers the more conventional hot and warm water solar-powered tile floor shower, perfect for a well-deserved cleansing after a day's hike in the rain forest. Lapa Rios Ecolodge is more than just a beautiful rainforest hotel or eco resort next to the beach. Lapa Rios  Ecodlodge is a model Ecotourism project that strives to show that “a forest left standing is worth more than one cut down”.

Activities at Lapa Rios are focused around the rainforest and the nearby Ocean. Rainforest hikes, bird watching, Ocean Kayaking, horseback riding, catch and release sport fishing and surfing are some of the activities offered.  Furthermore, guests can take massages, participate in Yoga classes, relax at the pool with a tropical cocktail or just take a nap in a hammock and maybe observe the birds, monkeys and other animals that come by.

For many guests, the highlight is a tour to Corcovado National Park by plane or a night camping in the jungle.
