About Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge
The hotel is located on the Gulf of Dulce, linked to Piedras Blancas National Park. One of the great aspects of the lodge is the jungle and sea location.
The front yard is literally a gulf of the Pacific Ocean, and the backyard offers thousands of acres of pristine tropical rainforest. Golfito is about 30 km away. The beach hotel embraces conservation and harmony with the environment, and offers a perfect blend of comfort, with the preservation of nature.
This hotel in the middle of the mountains was sensitively designed in tune with the environment, and was built with naturally fallen trees and recycled materials. Moreover, it uses solar energy to provide electricity. There are 10 guest rooms at this hotel.
Guests are welcomed in the lobby and facilities include a hotel safe, currency exchange, bar and a restaurant. Guests can enjoy the convenience of room service during their stay.

Sian
We spent 3 nights at Playa Nicuesa, and were totally bowled over. This place really is a hidden gem, and all the staff work hard to make it that way. Everything about our stay ran so smoothly, from our pickup and boat transfer on arrival, to our departure. Beautiful location, so calm and peaceful. Wonderful staff, all very friendly, polite and knowledgeable, and great that they always remembered our names! Olman's welcome on the pier and his easygoing manner made us feel at home straight away. We loved our room (which was spotlessly clean) - the furnishings and the wrap-around balcony with its jungle view and sounds. So much wildlife to watch and listen to! We particularly enjoyed our trail walks with the guides Oscar and Jean-Carlos, and I felt totally chilled after my massage with Isabella. The food was always freshly prepared and delicious. We're so glad we stayed here, and hope to return one day.

This isn’t just a beautiful eco lodge, it’s a life a life experience. You couldn’t chose a more picturesque location surrounded by nature. The building and facilities are clean, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the food is excellent. Their tours and services are great and very reasonably priced. Amazing place to visit !!!!

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.
