Vacation Packages to Costa Rica for 2026

Location 100%

Very big resort!

If you want ultimate rainforest luxury and top level service you should stay here. Not to be missed. Raft in and out via the Pacuare river and be completely enveloped by the forest and river in the middle of nowhere while having high level meals breakfast, lunch and dinner, incredible adventure programs like zip lining through the canopy and repelling down little waterfall. Seriously. 1000% The food was top tier. The service was thoughtful and personal. The staff is amazing. And they have great wifi. In the middle of nowhere. Deep jungle. The rafting is world class. I had a Linda vista villa and it was an absurd amount of space and privacy with a personal plunge pool. Come back from dinner and your lights are on, fan going and curtains drawn. Seriously, stay here. I'm coming back again someday.

What a beautiful lodge. Well maintained, great hiking trail and staffs were all helpful. The drive at night was a big scary, due to the narrow and twisty roads, along with rain and fog. Best to drive up before dark .

All the cons: The concierge mentioned that the shuttle that takes you from point A to point B within the hotel grounds makes its rounds every 15 minutes, which is not true. My boyfriend and I waited almost twenty minutes for it and still no sign of the driver. We ended up walking up the hills just to get breakfast. Don’t get me wrong it was a good workout but when it’s in the middle of the day where it’s hot and humid and in flip flops, that was not ideal. Also the food selections at the one restaurant by the pool was subpar. We ended up eating our lunches and dinners outside of the hotel at the few restaurants nearby. You can’t go wrong with breakfast so we just had their fruit and eggs offered there. The options for drinks at the bars were not great. They only had one beer and bland cocktails. As far as the room, it was also not all that pleasant. The AC wouldn’t turn off so it was freezing cold anytime you’re in the room. The bed was as hard as a rock. There was a coffee machine and two mugs but no coffee available. The bathroom had a shower with mold growing on the bottom. There was no shower door which caused the water to spill out every time we took a shower, which left the whole bathroom floor wet. Who wants to walk on a wet floor? Lastly, there were only two towel cards offered per room. When you’re going to the pool or the beach everyday, you’re gonna need more towels! So we ended up reusing sandy towels for multiple days. Overall, would not recommend staying there.

I tried to do a lot of research to see best places for staying on the ocean. I like to swim and snorkel. The ocean was pretty but only a very small section was available for swimming and that area had pretty big waves. The rest of the resort was terrific! Just don’t go if you are avid beach and ocean lover.

Buffet was average, restaurants were good

If you want to be right in the middle of nature and wildlife this is the place to go. Most of the resort is raised up into the treetops so you can be eye level with creatures you'd usually only see way above you from the ground. The included hikes and birdwatching were wonderful with very knowledgeable and passionate guides. We also arranged a day trip to Corcovado by boat through the lodge in advance, seems pricey at first but was well worth it. Over the course of a week we saw sloths (lodge & Corcovado), monkeys (everywhere), tapirs (Corcovado), ant eaters (lodge and Corcovado), coatis (lodge), frogs and lizards (lodge) and so many different birds (everywhere). We chose a forest bungalow room which is just screened in from the outside. I was a bit worried the lack of AC might make it too hot to sleep, but at the end of April the fans in the room were enough to keep us comfortable over night. No need for alarm clocks, the howler monkeys will get you up every day. Overall a fantastic nature focused lodge that combines the ability to relax with adventure.

Close to airport with a free shuttle service. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and modern with comfortable beds and linen. Breakfast had a great selection on offer and freshly cooked eggs of your choice. Would definitely recommend and will return.

Beautiful, relaxing property with kind staff.
