It’s everything I hoped it would be in an eco lodge. The grounds are amazing. The swimming hole was fantastic. The hikes you can do on the property, especially down to Playa Arco were spectacular. The hike down to Playa Arco at low tide and the swimming hole were the highlight of the stay. The pool was perfect for cooling off and relaxing after a hike. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Veronica at check in and check out and Michael and Ever at the restaurant gave us exceptional service. The rooms are rustic in an eco lodge way, beautifully constructed and in harmony with nature. We saw birds and agoutis right from our balcony. Although there is no a/c we found the room to be perfectly comfortable with the fan and it wasn’t hot at night. The included breakfast was exceptional, we were always greeted with a fresh juice of the day and then a plate of fruit, and breakfast is made to order. We ate dinner at the hotel both nights. The tomahawk pork chop was delicious. Overall we loved our stay and were very happy to have chosen this special place. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0967c68c-1acb-414c-80f5-4ee42f7d0c36-1764810973174.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3af27740-3014-4dfc-bd92-7ddfa7e5ee93-1764810978668.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8e15332b-8e30-4a5b-bbe7-308dc7a42147-1764810981303.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/99af7d95-8dc5-460c-930c-38d5cc917624-1764810984757.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Astra Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kishor Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### ecology minded hotel Very nice ecology minded hotel.

Our room was very large (Trogon) with a inside seating area and huge balcony. The bathroom walls and floor are all lined with pebbles, very "flintstonesque". It was my birthday during our stay and the lodge put fresh flowers in our room and decorated the bed with rose petals. We ate in the restaurant for breakfast and dinner every day and the food was excellent with plenty of choice and big portions. The hotel also has a beautiful yoga platform but sadly they did not have a teacher available during our stay. The pool is a short walk away from the main hotel and is very private. There are also walking trails on the property to waterfalls where you could take a refreshing dip. Whilst here we did a whale watching trip (sadly nothing spotted as we were on the cusp of the right season) and a self guided trip to the Nicoya waterfall which was busy but great fun. We would return to La Cusinga Lodge in a heartbeat. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay May 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Slightly remote lodge, with amazing ocean and jungle views. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The only restaurant served very good food, offers friendly service, with daily specials. The pool is beautiful and peaceful. Lots of wildlife are present, including a troop of Howler Monkeys that howl at 4 am and 4 pm everyday. There are lots of trails for people to explore. It may not be a good place for everyone though. It was a little too quiet for us. It is a place that attracts those who just want to read, mediate or stare into the trees. It attracts older people I think, but the walkways are very difficult for older people, the rocks are slippery and rounded, and the cabins are far apart along steep pathways. There are some very nice trails, but they forbid walking them at night. That really sucks, because that is when the interesting animals can be seen on the trails. I won't stay where I cannot explore at night. There are screens on the cabin windows, but no air conditioning, only fans. We were very warm at night, so lost some sleep. I really like the property, the people, food and scenery, but won't stay there again. Just too boring for my taste. Too many rules! I want to be were I can explore at my leisure and interact with nature and with others. No hotel pool should close at 7 pm! ##### Jay Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gavin Sep 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Near the national park, we loved the trails and the nature ##### Gavin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph Feb 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities one of the best restaurants we experienced on our 10 day Costa Rica trip.

It offers such a serene environment with an abundance of wildlife and great natural trails. Great for families and hikers alike. If you can make the drive down to the coast, it is worth it to come to see this place. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Molly Jan 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property and view was beautiful. It was very secluded and felt safe. The sunsets and wild life were some of our favorite parts. Food and staff were also excellent. The beach was a pretty intense walk to get to, but beautiful and private once there. ##### Molly ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison Jan 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful location, lovely lodges, good food, great cocktails, chilled out pool and natural swimming hole. Most importantly, extremely helpful and friendly staff, who went the extra mile to help us when we had a stressful problem (hire car related and nothing to do with the hotel), which they resolved. Would absolutely recommend. ##### Alison ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristin Jan 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful private bungalows in the rainforest with balconies overlooking the ocean. Friendly staff, great food, wonderful trails down to the beach. They greeted us with pineapple juice when we arrived and packed us fresh fruit to go since we had to leave for a tour at 6 am before the restaurant opened for breakfast. Dinner was delicious! Can’t wait to return! ##### Kristin ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karla Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Divino es un precioso ##### Karla Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### olivier Jul 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Très bel hôtel Très bon hôtel avec peu de chambres, un accès direct à une plage accessible à marée basse moyennant quelques efforts car 15 min à pied avec du dénivelé mais cela vaut le détour vous serez seul, cave à visiter au fond de la plage de sable noir avec pas mal de vagues. Un accès direct également à une super cascade dans la jungle à 5 min à pied, vous serez également seuls, super expérience. Dans l'hôtel, nous avons pu voir des toucans et des aras macao, entendu un puma également mais nous ne l'avons pas vu. Le logement Tinamu etait tres bien avec une très belle vue sur la queue de baleine. Il manque juste un frigo dans la chambre. Le petit déjeuner inclus etait copieux. Le prix du retaurant est par contre un peu cher. Happy hour au bar de 14 à 17h. Très belle vue aussi depuis le bar. ##### olivier Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bianca Aug 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Le site est magnifique et la baignade dans la piscine naturelle (rivière) est incroyable. Beaux sentiers de marche et à 15 min à pied de la plage. Toucan, perroquets de différentes variétés, perruches et autre observer. La nourriture du restaurant est très bonne. Nous resté qu'une seule nuit malheureusement. Un peu dispendieux mais je recommande fortement. ##### Bianca Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emilie Mar 7, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is stunning full of wildlife and the staff is really professional. ##### Emilie Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Bengt Feb 14, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Uvita with a view Fantastic location (on the right side of the road): incredible view of the ocean, in the middle of the rainforest with a 20 minute walk to the beach and a ten minute walk to a fresh water “pool”. Very friendly and a good restaurant as well. Only negative: the bed a bit small for two. But highly recommended ##### Bengt Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 1, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities The location is fantastic. The room we stayed in needs some TLC - the bathroom sink faucet was singing some aria while the floor fan had its own tune which disrupted our sleep. As for their spa services, their therapist was terrific. However the spa facility could use some rejuvenation. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### sam, Baltimore Sep 4, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great property. Loved the hikes to the beach. The view is awesome. ##### sam Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Aug 5, 2019 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was not what was advertised (poor setup, thin walls, poor light, roof fan barely pushed air). The breakfast is served at 7 although it is posted that it is at 6 and when I called previous to my stay they told me the same. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen May 8, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastisk utsikt och vacker natur Fantastisk natur och utsikt. Ett par trevliga vandringsleder som utgår från hotellet där man kan se en del olika djurarter som apor, olika sorters fåglar m.m. Fantastisk strand som nås genom 15 min promenad genom djungeln. Negativt är att det är mycket småkryp på rummet och det saknas myggnät. ##### Helen Stayed 4 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina Apr 29, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Alles war absolut toll und stimmig, man kann viele Tiere sehen! ##### Tina Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 7, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The beach was amazing! The cabins are very private and comfortable. There are monkeys and toucans on site. The staff was fantastic. So friendly! We got a flat tire and they pointed it out to us and immediately changed it for us...in the dark! Exceptional service! Highly recommended! We will be back! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 21, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities La Cusinga offers beautiful hikes through the rain forest, spectacular Arco Beach, howler monkeys and other wildlife, good and reasonably priced food, and spectacular ocean and sunset views. The only negatives I can think of for guests would be there is no pool, and staying here requires being able to walk reasonable distances over occasionally bumpy trails. For us, this made it more interesting. Overall a beautiful property and wonderful experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Trapp Family Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Trapp-Family-Lodge.h4799289.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Jaco](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Socialtel-Jaco.h18103596.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Lapa Rios Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Lapa-Rios-Lodge.h1447895.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Botanika Osa Peninsula Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Botanika-Osa-Peninsula.h69305784.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Osa Beach Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Blue-Osa-Yoga-Retreat-Spa.h11717583.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) > > [Océano Boutique Hotel & Bistró](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Oceano-Boutique-Hotel-Gallery.h8832353.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Break Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Beach-Break-Resort.h2243571.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information)
