La Quinta Lodge Sarapiqui

This stylish hotel is situated in a tropical rainforest resort and is one of the few hotels to be certified by the Costa Rican National Accreditation Commission for sustainable tourism (tourism with sense of responsibility). Situated on a meander of the Sardinal river, some 15 minutes by car from Puerto Viejo, the main town of Sarapiquí, it is surrounded by tropical heliconia and ginger gardens.
