Costa Rica is known for providing a different kind of luxury known as eco-luxury. However, even before this type of resorts became popular, Lapa Rios Ecolodge was already there, making a difference in the hotel industry and providing one-of-a-kind Costa Rica vacations.
According to Forbes, the Costa Rica eco-luxury hotel is remotely situated in the wild Osa Peninsula. It is said to offer "real Central American wilderness," which is perfect for travelers looking to experience unique Costa Rica vacations.
iescape dubs Lapa Rios "the shining star of all Costa Rica's sustainable tourism projects." Here, guests get to fully enjoy what nature has to offer with its freestanding bungalows perched on a hillside, offering tranquil views of a rainforest and Pacific Ocean. The Costa Rica resort also has private patios with hammocks, where guests can relax while watching monkeys from afar and listening to the sounds of tropical birds. Other eco-luxury amenities of the place are outdoor showers and open-air dining restaurant. Since it's a sustainable tourism project, there's no air conditioning and minimal lights throughout the hotel.
Guests who wish to cool off during their Costa Rica vacation can do so in the Lapa Rios' chemical-free pool. There's also a beach that's just a 10-minute walk away from the hotel, although guests should expect a steep uphill climb in getting back to the resort, which is part of the experience and adventure.
According to iescape's review of the place, Lapa Rios perfectly combines comfort with wilderness with its cozy beds, amazing beaches, and sumptuous organic food. The Costa Rica resort even offers cocktails perfect for chilling out as guests look out into and appreciate the beauty of the wilderness.
