La Kukula Lodge.

Some guests explore nearby beaches and national parks. Others spend the day at the lodge, watching wildlife or simply resting. Nature is not an activity here. It’s part of everything.

Whether you explore or simply stay, this is a place to slow down and often, to stay longer than planned.

L'hotel és fantàstic, meravellosa ubicació, el menjar és molt bó,  llits còmodes i la neteja impecable. Sens dubte que repetirem si tornem a Costa Rica.

 Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Unfortunately, we had another hotel booked and they never responded upon our arrival, Caribbean Flow. Thankfully, this lodge welcomed us with open arms. They assisted us, calmed our anxiety and offered us a place to stay for the night, a bungalow. It was very spacious with a nice hammock. The bathroom was stunning breath taking. It had nature surrounding us in a warm embrace and all beaches were nearby with playa negra being only a 14 mins drive. They are very helpful, caring and PURA VIDA. Their breakfast options was also a really nice one with delicious food. The pool was very beautiful surrounded by nature. Overall, one of the best stays ever.

 Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Eine wunderbare gepflegte Anlage mit Dschungel Vibes - den tierlichen  Mitbewohnern wird gut geschaut ohne sie anzufüttern - wir haben täglich Agutis, Faultiere und Aras gesehen - und auch eine Vogelspinne;) Die Holzbungalows sind  mit guten Moskitos Schutz ausgestattet. Die Frühstücks Lounge ist sehr gemütlich und bietet auch Spiele an - an Regentagen eine beliebte Abwechslung! Es kann abends in den Zimmern warm sein, da sie ohne Klimaanlage und mit schwachem Ventilator sind. Die Bungalows sind der hellhörig nicht nur  für Dschungrlgeräusche ...
