Hotel Lagarta Lodge

Lagarta Lodge, on the bluff above the Nosara rivers

Lagarta Lodge sits on a bluff above rainforest and mangroves on the Nicoya Peninsula, next to a biological reserve, close to where two rivers meet the Pacific. It suits couples and families who want nature on the doorstep and the beaches of Nosara close by.

From the lodge you look across the river mouth and the forest to the ocean, which makes sunset the event of the day.

Why we choose it

• Sunsets from the bluff. The restaurant and Sunset Bar look over the mangroves to the Pacific, so the evening drink comes with a front-row seat for the light.
• A reserve next door. The lodge borders the Reserva Biologica, so sloths, monkeys and birds are part of a stay here.
• Pools for everyone. Two infinity pools and a Jacuzzi for the adults, and a children's pool for the little ones, make it an easy choice for families.

Rooms and views

The accommodation is all suites, in Junior Suites and Suites. The Jungle Suite faces the forest, the Panorama Suite opens to the wider view, and the Flor Blanca and Motmot Suites complete the line-up.

Every room is non-smoking, and the hotel does not accept pets. Ask us about which suite category suits your group, because the views change with the level on the hill.

On the property

Two infinity pools and a Jacuzzi look out from the bluff, with a separate children's pool. The restaurant and Sunset Bar cover breakfast through dinner, and the spa offers treatments for a quiet afternoon.

The neighbouring nature reserve is part of the experience: walks through forest and down toward the mangroves, with wildlife close to the lodge.

Location and getting there

Lagarta Lodge is near Nosara, about 3 hours by road from Liberia airport. Playa Nosara, with its darker sand, is close by, and in season we can take you to Ostional to see the sea turtles nesting.

Check-in is at 3:00 pm and check-out at 11:00 am. Tell us the ages of any children when you plan, and we will choose the suite and sort out the rest of the trip.
