Sarapiquis Rainforest Lodge

Another good rainforest lodge in lovely surroundings. The pool area at the rear is a real highlight and is in a beautiful natural setting with stunning wildlife all around. A delightful place to sit and wait for the beautiful birds to turn up. You also see small lizards and colourful iguanas. The main building is focused for seated dining and also has a cosy bar off one of the seating areas. There is plenty of places to sit for drinks in the evening too. The site has a number of short nature walks to enjoy as well as an archeological site to walk to. It is essentially joined to another lodge hotel by an open gate, which means you can visit the nature reserve and try out a number of their treks into the rainforest to see incredible species. The lodge rooms are all in a series of thatched circular buildings. The room I had was very big and had a great big comfy bed. The air con and fan are great for hot nights. The bathroom is simple and nothing special but ok and clean and did have a great refreshing shower. The rooms are all close to the sound of nature so expect a dawn chorus of birds and bellowing monkeys. You can book trips from here too for other nature excursions nearby. Staff are great. Really helpful and friendly. Great job to all concerned when I stayed.

We stayed here on our Costa Rica tour. I loved it. My little casita was comfy and it had a private outdoor patio with chairs and a table. It sits in the middle of the rainforest and has a very nice pool, a little library, lots of outdoor social areas, a lovely outdoor dining area, and the best part was the bird feeding station, where we could sit and watch all the incredibly beautiful, colorful birds coming to feed. There is also a small pond with frogs, and lots of paths to wander around. The food was very nice--buffet style--with lots of choices. Service was excellent. The location is good for exploring the rainforest. I would go back again.
