My wife, two young children and I have recentlyarrived back to reality, after a wonderful time 5 days at Lapa Rios. Extremely welcoming to families, the staff looked after us in every way with great food and views beyond compare. The wildlife is the true highlight in every way - 5 macaws flying overhead and toucans feeding on papaya hanging... More

My husband and I and our 2 daughters, aged 6 and 8, enjoyed an unforgettable stay at Lapa Rios from April 5 to 9, 2013. Although we had researched Lapa Rios quite extensively, and thought we had a good idea of what to expect, in this case, our expectations were far exceeded. The bungalows were clean and well appointed, with... More

As with most places you visit, there are pros and cons. Here the pros outweigh the cons by a mile. We are in our 60's and 70's and had been warned by previous visitors about bungalow location, so early on, I let them know we needed to be "close" to the pool. We ended up in bungalow #3 which is...

My family (including 2 daughters, ages 12 and 10) stayed at Lapa Rios for 5 nights at the end of March 2013. We had a fabulous time, and feel like we a more authentic Costa Rica experience than if we had gone to a resort at the beaches in the north. The bungalows are comfortable and clean; ours looked out... More

My wife and I spent 7 nights in mid-March, our first trip to the Osa Peninsula as well as to Costa Rica. Taking the 12 seater flight from San Jose to Puerto Jimenez was a great start to the adventure as the views of the mountains and coast were breathtaking. We were graciously greeted at the airport by Lapa Rios... More

We recently returned from a 13 day stay in Costa Rica - our first trip to this beautiful country. We started our trip with a 4 night stay at Lapa Rios. We were not totally sure what to expect, but were hoping for the best as it was a celebration of our 10th anniversary. The day began with a 45... More

We returned for the third time over 15 years to this wonderful lodge. We were very pleased to find that the lodge remains much as we remembered it. It has wonderful bungalows with gorgeous views and with wildlife all around close at hand. The complimentary hikes are excellent. We especially enjoyed Guillermo who is very knowledgeable about the local bird... More

We totally agree that the setting is wonderful. There is a nice variety of hikes and nearby activities. The wide panoramic view from our bungalow (#3) was fantastic. The dining room itself was great – good spacing of tables and the views were very nice. There is a lot to like about Lapa Rios. But, a few things were unpleasant... More

From March 5-8, 2013, I stayed at Lapa Rios for the second time. The first time was in May/June of 2007. This time was during the dry season and I traveled with a companion of my age (young active 50s). Last time was the wet season and I traveled with my 75 year old mother. Each time we had room... More
