El Toucanet Lodge

Copey

With Manuel Antonio National Park reachable in 47 km, El Toucanet Lodge provides accommodation, a restaurant, a garden, a terrace and a bar. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. The lodge is located in the beautiful mountains of Copey. The road leading to this lovely place of natural beauty is very good. We were greeted by Diego who was most helpful and kind.The delicious breakfast is a typical Costa Rican one, which you enjoy while watching all the humming birds at their feeders! Dinner was also very good and prices were reasonable. The uphill climb on their trail is worth it, especially if you can make it to their Cypress Forest!

EYA Ecolodge

San Isidro de El General

Boasting mountain views, EYA Ecolodge features accommodation with a restaurant and a balcony, around 32 km from Nauyaca Waterfalls. This lodge offers free private parking, room service and free WiFi.

Towels and bed linen are offered in the lodge. The owners are lovely generous people. Esteban knows about birds and took me to some nearby places that were alive with many varieties of small colourful birds such as tanagers. The large garden has been lovingly planted with a variety of trees which are labelled, and is visited by toucans and beautiful butterflies. At the bottom of the garden is a fast flowing mountain river. Food was copious, healthy and presented in an artistic way similar to a Michelin starred restaurant . Unexpected! My bedroom was a small, independent building away from the main house, with a shaded terrace from which I could photo hummingbirds and butterflies. I saw no other tourist during my 4 days here.
