Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Eco Sanctuary

Nous avons passé 3 nuits au Nicuesa Lodge, un hôtel exceptionnel atteignable uniquement par bateau navette (30 minutes) , trajet organisé par l'hôtel. Notre chambre était magnifique, très bien aérée, literie douillette et propre, douche à l'extérieur impeccable. Entièrement dans la verdure et suffisamment loin des autres chambres pour qu'on se sente seuls au milieu de la nature. La nourriture est délicieuse et préparée avec soin, le personnel est agréable, souriant, les activités possibles proposées à l'hôtel sont variées: - balades dans les sentiers de l'hôtel où on peut observer singes, oiseaux, etc. - sorties en bateau pour admirer dauphins et baleines - canoë cayak - yoga en groupe ou individuel sur un deck face à la mer - massages également sur un deck face à la mer Merci à Rebecca et toute son équipe pour ce séjour inoubliable

Eine spannende schöne Erfahrung. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Die ganze Atmosphäre sehr familiär. Das Schlafzimmer war ein Traum. Für uns das beste Erlebnis auf unserer diesjährigen Reise in Costa Rica. Wenn wir wieder einmal diese Land bereisen, dann sicher wieder auch in der Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge, nur diesmal sicher zwei Tage länger. Herzlichen Dank.

Our stay at Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge was the highlight of our visit to Costa Rica. The Lodge takes a relatively small number of people and provides genuinely warm hospitality - they make you feel welcome guests in a lovely home. If you are interested in the Costa Rican wildlife, and in eating freshly cooked, delicious, relatively local food - this is the place for you! The lodges/rooms are set into the forest, so you are surrounded by wonderful plants and animals all the time. There are well-maintained trails that give you miles of walking through wonderful ecosystems. Gardens provide havens for huge numbers of butterfly species and humming birds, and the beach the ecosystem is different again. Everywhere chilled water is available to fill your water bottle, a real bonus in the hot, humid climate. The rooms have silent, effective ceiling fans which mean the lack of aircon is no problem - in fact you really get the sense of where you are staying, rather than being observers from cool rooms. We slept really well there. The meals are served at a communal table unless you request otherwise - we weren't sure about this until we experienced it. The variety of interesting people we met and chatted to, from so many different countries, was an added bonus to the whole stay. All of the staff - from the guides to the bar staff, the gardeners and the cleaners - were welcoming and were all knowledgeable about the wildlife - sharing sightings of animals from frogs and hawks to bats, snakes, humming bird nests and puma! If you are looking to sit by a pool and then retreat to an air-conditioned room, then this is not the place for you - but if you want an amazing experience of time in the Costa Rican rainforest with all it has to offer in terms of hospitality and biodiversity, you will love it here. Nicuesa will always be a cherished memory for us, and we will return to visit them again!
