Recognized as one of National Geographic’s Unique Lodges of the World is the unparalleled Pacuare Lodge. Located in Siquirres along the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica, this eco hotel features twenty luxury suites along a remote river, letting guests connect with nature while still feeling pampered.
Overview
Pacuare Lodge from the river
Would you go off the grid if you knew you did not have to give up luxury? When you book a stay at Pacuare Lodge, you get the best of both worlds: a remote location along the Pacuare River in Siquirres, paired with accommodations and amenities you would expect at a top-class hotel. The property features a full restaurant and bar, an infinity pool on the edge of the rainforest, Wi-Fi in the common areas, and native flora and fauna on its own private reserve.
Getting to the Pacuare Lodge requires a sense of adventure, as you can only access it by white water raft, helicopter, or 4x4 vehicle. Once you arrive, you will be treated to luxurious suites, fine dining, and exceptional customer service, all in the setting of a pristine tropical rainforest.
The twenty suites themselves offer guests privacy and a close connection to nature. Each room reflects the region’s natural beauty in the décor, with teak furniture, hardwood floors, and plenty of fresh air. The lodge is designed for relaxation; instead of television and Wi-Fi in each room, guests can surround themselves with the sounds of nature.
With a location this isolated, you may not expect gourmet dining, but the farm-to-table cuisine served at Pacuare Lodge could rival a big city’s restaurants. Guests enjoy a free full breakfast during their stay, and lunch and dinner feature fresh fruits and vegetables grown right on the property. For a more intimate dining experience, guests can opt for a romantic meal on a terrace next to the river. The lodge also has a bar for tropical cocktails and other spirits.
With the river right next to the lodge, you can find plenty of sights and activities to entertain and delight you. White water rafting and ziplining popular pursuits, but if you are looking for more relaxation, you can book a treatment at the Jawa Juü Spa or lounge by the pool. You can also explore by taking an ancient trail to a hidden waterfall or learn more about the rainforest with a sustainable tour and hike. Whether you want adventure, romance, or relaxation, Pacuare Lodge can act as home base for your memorable Costa Rican vacation.
The twenty suites of Pacuare Lodge are well-appointed so that every guest can enjoy the natural beauty of the rainforest without sacrificing comfort. With private balconies or terraces, you can immerse yourself in the surroundings, or you can just rest in your own sitting area. Each room features a private bath with hot water, orthopedic mattresses with luxury linens, fans, telephones to contact the front desk, hardwood flooring, in-room safe, bathrobes, and wellies for your river adventures.
Garden Suites – With canopied beds, either a king or two full-sized, these suites open directly to the gardens outside. They each have an en-suite bathroom with a full 360-degree view of the jungle as well as a hammock on the terrace.
Riverview Suites – These suites have a main room with a canopied king bed that faces an open terrace and waterfront deck. The private bathroom has both an indoor and outdoor shower with a stunning view of the river and the rainforest.
Canopy Suite – This honeymoon suite, a thatched bungalow accessed by suspension bridge, offers couples seclusion in a romantic setting. The room has a canopied king bed, a deck with hammock and seating, and a private stone-lined pool that is fed with spring water. It also has two solar-heated showers and a stunning rainforest view.
Linda Vista Villas – With 2,500 square feet, this spacious suite has a bedroom, living room, deck, and private pool. You are treated to a jungle view from every area in the suite, including the open-air tub on the deck.
Jaguar Villa – The largest of the suites, this villa offers guests plenty of room to relax and connect with nature. It has a king bed as well as two daybeds in the living room, two full bathrooms, a private observation platform, and a private spring-fed pool.
At Pacuare Lodge, guests can have any level of excitement they wish. With the river at your feet, you have plenty of adventurous options, or you can stay on dry land and explore the rainforest. Some of the available tours include:
White Water Rafting – this tour features class III and IV river rapids for the daring

"What an amazing two days. This was the last leg of our honeymoon, and we couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful, comfortable, romantic or fun ending to our trip. The staff is friendly and warm and well-informed. The lodge is beautiful – I loved living by candlelight! The food was incredible – so delicious & so many veggies. I will recommend this experience to all my friends."

"The lodge is exotic – enchanting & romantic – too bad I didn’t come here with my fiancé. Words & pictures can’t do it justice. You have to experience it yourself. The chef was super accommodating to my fanatic kosher requests (I brought my own utensils & supervised) & the food was delicious and fresh. The guides were authentic, helpful & friendly."
