National Geographic declared the Southern Pacific of Costa Rica to be “one of the most biologically diverse regions on earth”.

Where To Stay In The Southern Pacific
This region has so many beaches and so much to see that it is difficult to decide where to stay. There are however myriads of beautiful lodges and Hotels on Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific Coast. Dominical, being mainly a surfer’s haven, has a choice of cheaper and more basic accommodations, while as you make you way south, they become more exclusive and environmentally friendly. These are most definitely beautiful and elegant hotels, however they seldom care for more than 80 guests. Bigger projects consist of bungalows and cabinas that are dispersed sparingly in the forest or by the beaches and use up to only 20% of the area of the hotel. They usually can arrange various Tours of Costa Rica, like hiking, horseback riding, and most have awesome views over the ocean and flamboyant sunsets. The Oxygen Jungle Villas in Playa Ballena, the Casa Corcovado Lodge in Drake Bay or the Remanso Eco Lodge are just a few of the magnificent hotels on offer in this magical region.
