This is a very magical place. It sits on the sea, yet is nestled right into the jungle. Our room faced the jungle and we loved watching fire flies at night and listening to all of nature as it awoke each morning. The staff and grounds were fantastic. The food was delicious too. We enjoyed kayaking to a fun snorkeling spot, hiking the trails in the rear, watching the macaws fly around at the beach, yoga at 6am each morning and swimming in the ocean at sunset. It was perfect.

Perfect holiday location
3 days of being in a superb ecolodge - lovely surroundings, good food and friendly staff It's in a jungle so expect to find the odd bug and be prepared for the humidity - we loved it for it's simplicity and eco friendliness. Had some great walks around the jungle paths, spotting wildlife and even just sitting on the beach front we had 12 scarlet macaws join us one morning - just magical. Staff are very accommodating and helpful - cant wait for a second visit.

Beautiful, remote rainforest lodge
Playa Nicuesa is a beautiful, remote spot on Golfo Dulce. The site is amazing -- the only access is by boat. Snorkeling, kayaking and fishing in the bay, yoga and massage, and miles of trails in the rainforest. With a wonderful staff and interesting guests from all over the world, its the ideal spot for adventure travelers.

This is the place to get in touch with nature
I spent a couple of days at the Nicuesa Lodge and it was the most amazing place I've ever been to in Costa Rica. I wish I could've stay longer. This is the place to get in touch with nature and disconnect from the rest of the world. It's very peaceful. This is not a luxury resort, but everything is a 5 star hotel. The rooms are absolutely beautiful. The staff is amazing, very helpful. The food is incredible... I could go on and on writing about this beautiful place. Don't think twice about spending at least three nights or more and enjoy nature.

Worth it!
This property is remote in location but not as complicated to get there...Local flight from San Jose to either Golfito or Puerto Jimenez, and then a 30min boat ride. Completely ecological, you can do yoga, snorkel, kayak...the flora and fauna are spectacular. I loved the food and familiy style atmosphere. Be prepared for bugs, no way around it, take repellent for sure, beds have covers to protect you at night. I saw crocodiles, macaws, heard monkeys, many different bird species...it was definitely enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone. Once there you can be as adventurous as you wish!

Regenwald trifft Meer
Eine sehr schöne Lodge inmitten der Natur. Nur mit dem Boot erreichbar. Hatten hier als einzige der Unterkünfte in CR das Gefühl, dass Ausflüge sehr gepuscht werden und recht hochpreisig sind. Viele Delfine im Golfo Dulce… hatten diese mit dem Feldstecher vom Steg aus beobachtet. Rückblickend hätten wir anstelle der Rivertour die Delfintour gebucht - wollten aber zum Schluss unsere Reise nur noch geniessen und dies konnten wir hier bestens.

Inmerso en la naturaleza pura
Al que le gusta la naturaleza, lugar ideal .La única manera de llegar es por lancha. Hay muchos trails que uno puede hacer por su cuenta , y ofrecen varios con guías especializados. Además hay kayaks , equipo de snorkel y paddle board a disposición de los huéspedes y en la playa hay reposeras. Es todo muy relajado . Lo que más impresiona son las distintas voces de los animales , sobre todo monos, pájaros , ranas que van cambiando durante el dia y la noche , todo un coro.Para las comidas se comparte una mesa general para poder interactuar con los demás huéspedes. El personal es mut amable y atento .Muy recomendable para los amantes de la naturaleza.
