Overview

Welcome to La Palapa Eco Lodge Resort

Everyone is always searching for that proverbial “heaven on Earth.” Yet why not go one better? Come and visit Costa Rica’s beautiful La Palapa Eco Lodge Resort, and you’ll truly understand why its motto is “where heaven can wait.”

Situated on a lush 149 acres in Portalon, the La Palapa truly is the purest definition of a tropical paradise. Walking through the resort is like stepping into a whole new world, where the beautiful colors of the flora and fauna compliment the clear blue skies to create the ultimate rainforest locale. Yet you won’t be sleeping under trees on a bed of banana leaves; the La Palapa features luxurious guest rooms that allow you to enjoy nature in style. Best of all, the gorgeous Playa Linda Beach is a mere five minutes away, allowing you to experience the best of both rainforest and beachfront living.

Costa Rica truly is a place that needs to be experienced to be appreciated. Thanks to the La Palapa Eco Lodge Resort’s ideal location, you are close to a number of local towns and villages that offer excursions and experiences which allow you to completely immerse yourself in the local culture. You’ll see awe-inspiring natural wonders, beautiful local architecture and some of the most vibrant, bustling street fronts you’ll find anywhere in the world. You can also enjoy unique shopping and dining experiences, along with concerts and seasonal festivals and parades. If you’re up to it, you can also hop on a boat, head a few miles out to sea and see for yourself why many call Costa Rica a sport fishing mecca.

Yet the true beauty found at the La Palapa Eco Lodge Resort can be seen in its natural surroundings. You’ll quickly see that the staff here treats the designation of being an eco-lodge very seriously. While the gardens and grounds are exceptionally maintained, everything is done with respect to the local ecosystems.

The vegetation is allowed to grow freely with as little human interference as possible, allowing the plants and animals that call it home to not only survive, but thrive. As a guest, this allows you an up-close view of the rainforest at work. You can walk amongst beautiful flowers and trees teeming with hundreds of species of birds as you make your way to the pool. No other place offers such a unique blend of natural beauty and modern convenience.

Caribean rooms at La Palapa Eco Lodge Resort

The La Palapa Eco Lodge offers two distinct types of villas and rooms. Guests in each are allowed constant access to the grounds, swimming pools and activity areas, as well as the resort’s Pura Vida Bar & Restaurant. The name here says it all, as every menu offering reminds you of the unique setting that you’re in. Stop by for a delicious meal or a refreshing drink any time during regular breakfast, lunch and dinner hours.

Pool Villas

La Palapa’s pool villas offer all of the comforts of home, including:

Comfortable furnishings
Tiled floors
Hot showers
Ceiling fans

If you’re interested in an extended stay (which is what as many as 75 percent of the guests who stay here opt for), the villas offer furnished living rooms and fully fitted kitchens. You’ll also enjoy your own private terrace, complete with bamboo table and chairs.

Garden Rooms

The garden rooms offer breathtaking views of the La Palapa’s many gardens. Though smaller than the villas, they offer many of the same amenities, as well as screened windows that allow the sights and sounds of the rainforest unimpeded entry. There’s nothing quite like having a gentle breeze send you off to sleep, only to then be awoken by a chorus of birds in the morning.

All rooms at the La Palapa Eco Lodge Resort are non-smoking.
