"We love love LOVED our stay here!!! Just thinking about our time here makes me want to be back in Costa Rica!! I thought it might not be our kind of place - and I also didn't realise the Corcovado day trip boats could pick you up from there - but I chose to spend a couple of nights there so that we'd be half-way along the Drake Bay Trail. But it actually turned out to be one of our favourite stays in Costa rica (and we traveled the country for a month!). Firstly, it was right on a beautiful...

"Fantasztikus családi vállalkozás! A hely egyszerűen hihetetlen. Távol a világ zajától az esőerdő mélyén. A háziasszony finom ételeket készít! Ő a lelke az egésznek. Mindenki felkészült a természet kincseiből, amiből van itt bőven! A túránk során , amit a férje vezetett, láttunk és fényképeztünk Tukánt, Spider monkeyt, és még egy másik fajtát is, és sok sok madarat. Éjszaka pedig békát és kígyót is! A fiaik nagyon nagyon lelkes természetbarátok. Életreszóló élmény volt az itt eltöltött pár nap!...

Recent Reviews in La Palma

CORCOVADO & DRAKE INN

10/10 Excellent

"Property was located very close to Corcavado National Park, with tours to the Park starting within walking distance. Lots of wildlife in the area."

Ocean Forest Ecolodge Retreat

8/10 Good

"Lovely staff, great food, as others have said it's very rustic which depends on your point of view how you take that. I loved it however, both ATV transfers we asked for didn't materialise which, esp for the route back, was mildly annoying. Being in the room whilst it was raining cats and dogs during the night was incredible"

Lapa Rios Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"If you want to be right in the middle of nature and wildlife this is the place to go. Most of the resort is raised up into the treetops so you can be eye level with creatures you'd usually only see way above you from the ground. The included hikes and birdwatching were wonderful with very knowledgeable and passionate guides. We also arranged a day trip to Corcovado by boat through the lodge in advance, seems pricey at first but was well worth it. Over the course of a week we saw sloths (lodge & Corcovado), monkeys (everywhere), tapirs (Corcovado), ant eaters (lodge and Corcovado), coatis (lodge), frogs and lizards (lodge) and so many different birds (everywhere). We chose a forest bungalow room which is just screened in from the outside. I was a bit worried the lack of AC might make it too hot to sleep, but at the end of April the fans in the room were enough to keep us comfortable over night. No need for alarm clocks, the howler monkeys will get you up every day. Overall a fantastic nature focused lodge that combines the ability to relax with adventure."

Drake Bay Sunset Lodge

6/10 Okay

"The cabin was clean and the views from the balcony were amazing. The beds were comfortable, but the rugs on the wooden floor were incredibly slippery. It was not fully what we were expecting based on the description of the room we booked - the description said there would be aircon, microwave and TV, however these were not present in the room. The fans were just about enough to keep us cool overnight, however were not enough for during the day. The bathroom was fine - but be aware it does not have the screen/mesh that the bedroom does, and the walls do not meet the ceiling, so bugs/mosquitoes are able to get in - not ideal if mosquitoes find you as tasty as they find me. There also was no handle on the inside of the bathroom door, so no way to fully close it quietly or to lock it from the inside. It would have been nice to have had directions on how to find the hotel directly from the beach beforehand rather than walking along the road. The hotel is in a good location for the beach and there is a supermarket and restaurants close by. "

Botanika Osa Peninsula Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The pool is next level and the staff are lovely. The town is fun to explore and there are a lot of eating options. The number of animals we saw on property was unbelievable. Howler Monkeys, Squirrel Monkeys, Scarlet Macaws, Toucans, Iguanas, Jesus Christ Lizards, Anoles, Crocodiles, Crabs, "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in La Palma?

The best area to stay in La Palma is the central region around the town of La Palma itself, particularly for those looking for convenient access to amenities and natural beauty.

The town of La Palma is small and serves as a gateway to the surrounding national parks and protected areas. It's located just off the main Route 32, making it easy to reach. You'll find a few local eateries and shops here, providing essential services without being overly developed. The area is known for its lush green landscapes and proximity to the Braulio Carrillo National Park.

For couples seeking a retreat into nature with comfortable lodging, staying just outside the main town offers excellent options. Many lodges are located into the rainforest, providing a quiet and private experience. These often feature amenities such as private balconies with forest views, guided nature walks, and opportunities for birdwatching right from the property. It's an ideal base for exploring the park's hiking trails and waterfalls.

Families will also find the areas immediately surrounding La Palma town suitable. Some accommodations are designed with families in mind, offering spacious rooms or bungalows. The natural surroundings provide plenty of opportunities for children to explore and engage with nature, from spotting local wildlife to enjoying gentle walks.

When is the best time to go to La Palma?

The best time to go to La Palma is during the dry season, which typically runs from December to April.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny weather and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region. The trails are in excellent condition for hiking, and the rivers are calmer, great for activities like white-water rafting or canyoning. This is also a popular time for wildlife spotting, as animals are more active and easier to see.

For those looking to combine their adventure with a relaxing beach stay, the dry season also offers the best conditions for enjoying the nearby Pacific coast. The ocean is generally calmer, and the warm, sunny days are great for swimming, surfing, or simply unwinding on the sand.
