Nature eco lodge holiday rentals in Central America

L’emplacement est parfait, en plein cœur de Pavones. La maison dégage une véritable poésie, avec son ambiance cabane et ses vieilles planches de surf en décoration. Les grandes chambres sont très agréables. Moshe est chaleureux et nous aura bien fait rire !!

We loved our little jungle home. The place was very special. The beach and water were wonderful for the kids. Ramon and family were also very welcoming. The home got a little hot at night but we adjustment after the first night. Thank you for a wonderful stay

Angelic views of volcanoes, the lake, the birth place of the Little Prince. Chris is a great host. And incredible human. What he has created on earth is impeccable.

Accommodation in La Chunga was an experience. Everyone was very friendly, the nature is beautiful, 10/10 ❤️ Thank you K + M 🇨🇿

This stay was special in exactly the way we thought it would be. You’re sleeping right in the middle of the jungle, but protected with a net on the bed. You can hear all sorts of animals throughout the night and day which enhances your experience. The restaurant on the grounds is magnificent and has amazing food. Our host Megan was so supportive and proactive with our constant change in travel plans. She also helped setting up a guide to hike the volcano as well as took care of our ferry tickets to come in (we did ourselves for the way back due to last minute changes and it was a huge pain) Overall, if you’re looking to be immersed in nature on an island with several good restaurants and plenty of things to do. This stay is perfectly located for that and offers great value for the price.

Ultimately this was the best airbnb I have ever stayed in. The location is incredible- literally waking up inside the national park. Trails start onsite, waterfalls within a 30 minute walk. Abundance of birds. Room is overall basic (bed comfy, shower is great). No A/C and it is HOT at night. No kitchen only their restaurant. Dinner is $26 USD (lots of food, worth it) but the breakfast ($16.50) and lunch ($17.50) felt so overpriced. HOWEVER THE FOOD IS AMAZING. the chef is 10/10. all staff on site were unbelievably kind and helpful. The room itself is priced reasonably but everything onsite is in USD and EXPENSIVE!! Be prepared to spend a lot when you get there. Otherwise bring snacks/protein bars and do self guided hikes (free) to keep costs down. Arrange own transport too. Transport offered like ride to airport is $250. Hikes were great, I did 5/7 waterfalls. Saw only birds no other wild life which was too bad. Overall this was a great experience!!! amazing place and people

Johanna's place is a real oasis. There were many things that made it feel so: sleeping so close to the river, being able to wake up and walk down to the water, cooking in the open kitchen with a view, finding stillness in the garden so easily, practicing movement in the open shala while enjoying all the shades of green, the singing birds, the howling monkeys... Johanna was helpful and responsive in preparation of and during my stay. Her recommendations were spot on. I was also able to take a yoga class with her and other locals, which was really nice. The location is really good too: isolated enough from the busyness, but close to Guadalajara, Nuevo Arenal and Tilaran. This place is a hidden gem, I cannot believe how lucky I was to stumble upon it here. If you're doubting whether to book a stay here, just do it.

Nuestra estancia fue muy cómoda y en contacto con la naturaleza, es el lugar ideal para pasar en familia y desconectarte de la rutina diaria, la casa hermosa, acogedora y extenso jardín, la atención de Don Edwin fue excelente y siempre atento a nosotros, un lugar 💯% recomendado 👌

J’ai passé un excellent séjour ! L’endroit est très tranquille, parfait pour se détendre, avec une superbe vue sur l’océan. Les hôtes ont été très accueillants et nous ont fourni tous les renseignements utiles sur les activités, les bons restaurants et les choses à découvrir à Uvita et dans les environs. Je recommande vivement !

excelente atención, muy bonito y tranquilo el alojamiento, muy limpio y buena atención, me sentí cómoda y tranquila, lo recomiendo al 100.

Lieux de tranquillité sublime, terasse privée super intime! Piscine nettoyée à tout les matins! Shalla de Yoga et tapis inclus à notre disposition! Rien à redire, ce fut notre logement préféré de tout notre voyage de 2 semaines au Costa Rica! Fabio présent sur place, nous a super bien renseigné sur les environs et était toujours disponible pour aider!

Our stay in Upala was peaceful and full of beautiful surroundings! The cook, Dinia, was so welcoming and accommodating! The pool was clean and my kids favorite part! Probably could put a weather strip at the bottom of the sliding cabin doors to help keep bugs out but otherwise the cabin and sleeping hearing the rain on the metal roof each night was so memorable!

Mercedes was an incredibly sweet and helpful host, she made us feel right at home from the start. The place itself is peaceful and surrounded by nature, with the sounds of wildlife adding to the relaxing atmosphere. It’s about a 15-minute drive from La Fortuna, and most tours will pick you up directly from the Airbnb, making it super convenient. If you’re looking for a stress-free stay near La Fortuna, I highly recommend this place!

La Poza Azul provides a little hideaway at the end of the world. If you want privacy away from the hustle and bustle of some of the more touristy areas of the island, this is your spot. There’s plenty of places to relax to enjoy the sun dotting through the trees and the breeze off the lake. I loved how alone I could be, but when I wanted company, it was easy to find. The land here is intense and beautiful. It will take what it needs to take, and give you what you need to receive. I love to camp, so I’m not bothered by lack of AC or bugs or general things that come with living with the outdoors, so mentally prepare for that type of living if you aren’t accustomed. Spike is incredibly hospitable and such a joy to get to know. He patiently and kindly answered my one million questions about Nicaraguan life. I loved the connections I was able to make with the neighbors, as well. The trip to this secluded spot was a HAUL, and Spike was so proactive and helpful in getting me there. <3

Rodolfo sein Häuschen und Grundstück liegen direkt am Cahuita Park. Schon vor der Anreise bekommt man sehr viele Infos was wie wo. Angekommen begrüßte uns seine Freundin und Manfred & Luna (seine Hunde). Alles war sehr schön und man sollte wissen, das men direkt im Dschungel schläft! Brüllaffen, Faultiere und Insekten inkl. Das Frühstück war immer selbst gemacht, landestypisch und frisch - Rodolfo überrascht seine Gäste gern. Der Kaffee nur leeecker und so viel wie man kann… Privatsphäre hat man auch, Rodolfo schläft 50m weiter im eigenen Haus und ist ab und an am Haus herum. Wenn nicht, ist er auf Tour denn er ist Guide; was wir vorher nicht wussten. Eine Kanutour auf dem Fluss oder eine Nachtwanderung durch sein weitläufiges Grundstück sollte man machen. Alles in allem ein perfekter Ort um an der Karibik unmittelbar die Natur zu genießen. Pura Vida

Super mooie plek in Pavones. Alle surfspots liggen in de buurt. Dus fijne plek om korte maar zeker ook langere tijd te verblijven want je voelt je hier snel thuis. De open keuken met gezellige bar bij het zwembad in de tropische tuin werkt perfect om wat eten klaar te maken. En top dat de koffie daar ‘s morgens vroeg al klaar stond ☕️ thanks David en Gootje!!

Es la segunda vez que me quedo acá y me parece un excelente lugar. Hay una buena atención por parte del anfitrión, se me ayudó con todo lo que necesite, y además me pareció un lugar muy ordenado y limpio, con un bonito ambiente. Lo recomiendo, es una gran opción para hospedarse.

We loved our stay in this quiet sanctuary, we will definitely recommend it and come back. We can’t wait to see the new yoga space 🩷

Una hermosa estadía, para pasar con familia, amigos, pareja... sin duda alguna regresaremos. recomendado!!!

This place is a hidden gem! The open areas by the pool have beautiful tropical plants and flowers surrounding them. There is an awesome outdoor shower and a cute tree house you can actually stay in. Catalino and Genesis are great hosts and very attentive. We visited Los Cajones de Chano near by, what an awesome place! We could have also surfed by Playa Caracoles near by, but surf was down. The beach itself is was super nice! We are so happy we spent a couple of nights in this area and place!

Believe all of the 5-star reviews! Malekus Mountain Lodge is pure magic. We were a family of ten ranging in age from 75 to 11, and couldn’t have asked for a better base for our Costa Rican adventures. Each couple had their own room and bathroom which were very clean and comfortable, even without A/C. Fans were provided in every room and it cooled down considerably at nighttime. The communal space, living room and pool area are amazing, and the gardens, trails, bridges and ponds are absolutely stunning. We couldn’t believe how lucky we were to have the place all to ourselves and experience the hospitality of Roger and Rosie and their dog, Bruno. They were wonderful hosts, providing delicious breakfasts, insights into the flora and fauna, and recommendations for restaurants, activities and guides that truly felt authentic - we were usually the only North Americans around. Being conversational in Spanish is helpful. Rent a 4WD and be ready for adventure!

Es war alles sehr schön eingerichtet und vor allem Abends hatten wir eine sehr schöne Atmosphäre. Der Preis war fair. Lediglich bei der Waschmaschine gab es ein Missverständnis, wobei 10 Dollar ein üblicher Preis für Wäsche ist. Vielen Dank!

Lily is a great host, the cabin is comfy and clean, the garden Lily created will take your breath away, the place is unique and peacefull. I highly recommend.

La estadía en MarOnda fue muy buena. Estás rodeado de naturaleza y tenés la Playa Bluff en frente, con el parador ahí mismo. Realmente disfrutamos mucho nuestros días ahí. Algo a considerar, es que queda bastante alejado de Bocas Town. Son unos 40min en taxi y sale 20/25usd. Para los que quieren estar en la playa y rodeados de naturaleza no es un problema, pero si pretendés hacer excursiones, te conviene estar mas cerca del centro.
