Location/Getting There

If you are looking for an eco-friendly hotel in Costa Rica then look no further. Lapa Rios Ecolodge is located in the heart of nature where the wild rainforest meets the Pacific Ocean in Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica. Whether you are a beach bum or a jungle adventurer, there is something for the whole family in Lapa Rios. Set in a private nature reserve that covers over a thousand acres of the last remaining lowland tropical rainforest in Central America, high above Puerto Jimenez and overlooking Golfo Dulce, the hotel is absolutely stunning and the epitome of the word paradise.

Award-Winning Eco-tourism Project

Lapa Rios Ecolodge, Costa Rica is more than a simple environmentally-friendly hotel. It is a model Ecotourism project with the main aim of proving that “a forest left standing is worth more than one cut down”. This extends as far as the products used in the hotel bathrooms. Due to the fragile eco-system in the area, only biodegradable soap, shampoo and conditioner should be used. The hotel even boasts their own ‘Costa Rica Aromas para el Alma’ made from natural local products, available to use. This pioneering resort has won awards from infamous travel publications, such as Conde Nast Traveler, Forbes Traveler, National Geographic and has been Fodor’s Choice for 3 years in a row in 2009, 2010 and 2011.
