Find Resorts & Hotels with Spas in South Pacific Coast

"Fabulous stay in a wonderful location. The staff are truly top-notch. Attentive and friendly. Every request was answered with “Of course, with pleasure!”. Food was excellent. Morning coffee with steamed milk delivered to our room early morning so we could sip and watch the sunrise from our balcony. A variety of on-site tours are included. The guides are excellent. Special shout-out to Sandra for finding the small Red-eyed tree frogs during the night tour. Scarlet macaws flying all over the lodge, monkeys everywhere, all sorts of beautiful birds and interesting critters right outside your room. The grounds and views are beautiful. Hike to a waterfall within ten minutes. Pool is nice too. They will take you down to the secluded beach and set you up with chairs and cooler. The beach is beautiful but very rocky. We had the Matapalo suite. Very nice though close to the entrance and main road so the intermittent traffic noise was a minus. We had a small issue with a large wandering spider and then a bark scorpion getting into our bathroom (each just once) but they responded within 3-4 minutes both times. They installed a door sweep on the bathroom door within hours to prevent them entering the bedroom- very speedy response. The view was outstanding however. Overall Lapa Rios is an outstanding lodge with wonderful staff, and I cannot recommend it enough. Five stars. "

"Easy access, super clean, excellent room design. Chefs were outstanding. Made boring food taste good and they should be proud of their work. Nice views and cool built in hammock. Cons: main pool is not that big and the other guests chairs are literally just beside it a foot away. "

"Staff was great, the lady in the kitchen was amazing especially for dinners. We had a great time, people were really friendly and so nice to us"

"Good bed! "

"The room was spotless, the reception disk polite, the food excellent, the staff attentive and the pool marvelous. "

"A lovely stay. Clean, spacious waterfront suite with a fabulous water view where you can relax on the porch protected from the sun and rain and enjoy your breakfast. Excellent service, effective A/C. Pretty quiet overall. Nice pool. We would happily stay here again. 10/10, no notes. "

"The Staff treat you like family. Nothing is too much trouble. Grounds/room above average"
