Rooms
The 11 bungalows and 6 villas of the Lapa Rios Rainforest Lodge are designed so that indoors and outdoors seem to merge, and the sounds, scents, and colors of the rainforest become a natural part of daily life. The elevated position of the bungalows and the open design allow for breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean and jungle, along with a cool breeze that keeps the spaces pleasantly ventilated. In the morning, one awakens to the call of howler monkeys and enjoys the colorful sunrise over a fresh, aromatic coffee. The private deck with a comfortable lounge area and a hammock offers space to relax and let the soul unwind while birds and monkeys play in the surrounding trees. An open-air rain shower completes the luxurious bungalows of the Lapa Rios Rainforest Lodge perfectly.
