Lapa Rios: Our View


Nestled within the hills above the coast, this rainforest lodge has superb views across the ocean and surrounding jungle.  The beach is a 15 minute walk down a steep a hill, however the hotel arranges for transfers back up the hotel at the end of the day.  In the centre of the restaurant is a spiral staircase which leads to a viewing platform offering a 360 degree view of the rainforest and beach below.

Fonda Vela began in 1990 with just 8 cabanas.  The lodge was started by the family that still runs it today and as such it has a lovely warm and welcoming feel to it. The 40 rooms are spread through the mountain side
