I've traveled all around Costa Rica, and La Cusinga Lodge is one of my favorites. The cabins are works of art, and a real inspiration for sustainable building. They do not require air conditioning, because they take advantage of natural air currents, and the wood is from teak trees that were reforested on the property. The stone and shells also... more

Our third visit to La Cusinga was just as rewarding and pleasurable as our first visits here. The resort is awesome -the tranquility of the rainforest trails to the desolate, sandy beaches is quite amazing. The friendliness of the staff, the cleanliness of the cozy cabinas, the wonderful fruits and delicious meals are also what makes our stay here so... more

The lodge has beautiful rooms where all you can hear at night are the crickets and frogs...the view from my room was the sea and an... more

From the setting to the simply wonderful and elegant cabins, to the virgin rainforest surrounding you, to the whale and dolphins you can see from the lodge... more
