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.
