What a great spot! The views and pool as well as our beautiful room with a large patio were all exceptional! We had a great stay. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Although there is a shuttle to town, the walk to the beach is worth doing. It is a bit far but kind of part of the adventure of being in the jungle. Highly recommend!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Gorgeous setting, incredible sunsets, friendly staff. We loved looking out from our balcony or the infinity pools onto the bioreserve jungle below. We had an upper floor room (#9) right next to a tree that regularly had birds and howler monkeys coming through. Very peaceful. Spacious room. The food and drinks are at US resort-level prices, and there are no other places to eat within a 15-minute walk, so plan accordingly. The shuttle into town works well for daytime beach visits or lunch out, but the last shuttle back is at about 4:30 so if you stay in town for dinner you need to take a tuck-tuk back (uber not available here).

View from room, restaurant, lounge, and pools were consistently beautiful. Room was minimalist in style but very clean (few ants and other small bugs but to be expected in this area) and the hammock on patio was a nice touch. Breakfast and dinner were excellent! Wildlife was abundant (monkeys, coatimundi, red squirrels, and iguanas). Beaches were a bit of a walk to get to and, honestly, not that great.

We loved our stay at Lagarta Lodge! Yes, the road uphill i dusty and bumpy. But well worth it. One of the best eco-lodges we have ever stayed at. ...The scenic location overlooking the confluence of Rio Nosara and the ocean fosters an impressive array of birds, monkeys, coati and other wildlife. ... Just as impressive is the cleanliness of the entire grounds, featuring 3 lovely pools, a jacuzzi, a yoga/health spa and a fine restaurant ... The staff is awesome! Helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. They arrange shuttle service to local beach towns as well. During our week there, some became our friends! ... One caution - we felt the bedding could be improved -- firmer mattress, softer pillows. Otherwise, everything was Pura Vida!
