Visit Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge

My husband and I spent a week at this amazing eco lodge. We arrived by boat to be greeted with the first of many fresh fruit juices. We took advantage of the package deal and did many of the activities that are offered. We hiked to a waterfall with a guide our first day; kayaked with a guide through the mangroves; did an early morning bird walk with a guide, and a very informative sustainability tour of the property.. We also kayaked over to a beautiful botanical garden, and spent a day kayaking in and out of little beaches along the shoreline. We spent hours in the ocean, went on self-guided hikes, and were just continually overly amazed by what we saw - plants, birds, insects, reptiles - and the incredible beauty of the rain forest. Our guides were simply the best!! They were so passionate and inspiring about what they do, their world and their desire to protect it. The staff were all friendly, helpful and just such beautiful people. The food was out of this world!!! Many choices and everything was so fresh and delicious. Meals are served family style, so we had the opportunity to meet other guests from so many places. It was hot and humid but never unbearable. This is a very special place. Beautiful beyond words. Thank you to everyone at Nicuesa for the most unforgettable week we've ever had. We hope to return

Interesting place to stay with friendly and knowledgeable guides; interesting trips and wonderful wildlife watching opportunities (we saw two Fer De Lance snakes!); relaxing and welcoming. A great place to end our holiday

Absolutely gorgeous inside and out. Great guides - knowledgeable and friendly. I loved the night walk with Isaac - different millipedes, army ants, Fer de Lance snakes (VERY poisonous), and much more. We had heard about howler monkeys, and when they woke us the next morning we laughed so much at how much louder they were than expected. Monkeys came by our first evening there

This package is not cheap but what an amazing way to spend time in Costa Rica! Kayaks, snorkel equipment and stand up paddleboards are free to borrow and the morning seas glassy smooth. plenty of places to visit within easy paddle distance and great fish to snorkel with. Good food and pleasant, knowledgeable staff
