Set in Platanillo, less than 1 km from Nauyaca Waterfalls and 18 km from Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary, Luxury Apartments Nauyaca by Paradiselodge offers spacious air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. The property features pool and garden views. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Paradise Lodge! From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel incredibly welcome – warm, attentive, and always ready to help with recommendations or anything we might need. The location is truly breathtaking: surrounded by lush jungle, yet perfectly situated as a base for exploring nearby waterfalls, heading to the beach, or enjoying a surf day in Dominical. On top of that, it’s the perfect starting point for unforgettable adventures. The hosts can help organize whale watching tours, diving trips, or visits to national parks. They also know the hidden spots where you can see sloths and other wildlife – away from the crowds and mass tourism. The apartments are spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The highlight for us was the stunning pool with its peaceful atmosphere, as well as the private jungle trail on the property. Walking along the path felt magical – with the chance to spot wildlife and a small stream with a charming waterfall waiting at the end. Paradise Lodge is the perfect mix of comfort, nature, and hospitality. We left feeling refreshed and inspired, and we would recommend it without hesitation to anyone visiting this part of Costa Rica.

Trogon Lodge is located 1.5 km from San Gerardo de Dota town centre and 9 km from Los Quetzales National Park. It features an extensive garden, a terrace and BBQ facilities.

The rooms will provide you with a terrace and a private bathroom with a shower. You can enjoy mountain views and garden view from the room. Extras include bed linen. Beautiful lodge with absolutely stunning gardens filled with deliciously smelling flowers and odorant blossom trees and avocado trees - thus also full of colibris and even quetzals. Paradise in the cloudforest! All staff go out of their way for guests and are extremely professionnal, courteous and kind. On a rainy and chilly night we came back to hot water bottles on our beds and appreciated the attention so much. A special mention should be given to the landscaping and gardening staff thanks to whom the place is such an Eden. I hope they get regular raises! Rooms were comfy and spotlessly clean, the breakfast delicious and plentiful and the other meals we took there were also excellent. The café also has some lovely choices.
