I don't have too much to add that hasn't been said here. We loved that the Lagarta Lodge was small and intimate. It was absolutely fine for children as well. I don't know how the owners manage to have the time/energy/patience to be so friendly and helpful. We were greeted warmly and they were always available for our questions. We... more

Perfect view on a secluded beach, access to beach needs 15 minutes of walking as the lodge is situated on a hill, very good food, friendly people, very big, clean rooms with a balcony or a terasse. During dry season I would not go there again as it is very dusty. All the plants on the roadside are covered with... more

Very romatic little 6 bedroom hotel. Great hosts and even greater views. A 7 minute walk to a beautiful almost desserted beach. Wonderful pool and grounds and incredible food. There are not words to descibe the sunsets there. more

The views are simply stunning from Lagarta Lodge and all the photographs in the world canot prepare you for the amazing location. We had breakfast watching the Howler monkeys sit in the trees as the lodge has a telescope for guests to use to see them more closely, there are a couple of Iguanas that sunbathe in the tree that... more

Our hopes were set for beauty, quiet and relaxation and our stay at Hotel Lagarta Lodge greatly satisfied our needs and exceeded our greatest dreams. We had made an advance booking for 12 days – and many times, we cherished that wise decision of staying at Lagarta for a longer period of time. The hotel is small with only 6... more

Upon arrival of Lagarta with my wife, we were immediately blown away by the view.....BREATHTAKING. This was our second trip to Costa Rica and we rented a 4X4 this time and I was ready to relax after the drive (Which was only half as intense as I had expected). We were promptly greeted by Charro (hope that's spelled right) and... more

I booked the Lagarta Lodge for my family of five for 5 nights because my wife liked the photographs of the views---"It looks like something from 'Out of Africa", she said. The problem is that the photos do not do the view justice. It is spectacular. The rooms and the restaurant both sit at the top of the high high... more

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights. The food was great, but the management left a lot to be desired. The wife of the manager was dismissive of me, but fawned over my husband. When I tried to speak with her the first time, she acted as if she didn't understand English - her husband quickly intervened and was... more

My sister and I stayed at the beautiful Largata Lodge for 7 nights. It surpassed every expectation I had. After a long, hot ride from the Liberia airport, we were greeted by an outstanding view of the Pacific, more than friendly staff, and an ice-cold beverage. This is a haven for those who want to enjoy/experience an ecological retreat in... more
