Farm-to-Table Dining
The onsite restaurant serves traditional Costa Rican cuisine using fruits and vegetables from the lodge's permaculture farm. Breakfast includes gallo pinto, eggs, pancakes, fresh fruit, and Costa Rican coffee grown on-site. The bar offers national and international drinks with views of the forest and Gulf of Nicoya.
Cloud Forest Activities
Guests have access to 2.5 miles of private trails through primary and secondary cloud forest, leading to a 65-foot waterfall with a natural plunge pool. Activities include horseback riding, coffee farm tours, and wildlife spotting for Resplendent Quetzals, howler monkeys, and sloths. The lodge provides a jacuzzi and heated swimming pool.
