Playa Nicuesa Lodge

Add to wishlist Contact us

Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge is a tropical paradise constructed from naturally fallen trees and recycled materials. Here you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the rainforest from a hammock in the lodge’s special tree-top lodge, or retreat to the private terrace of deluxe cabins.

Evening meals are tropical-Latino inspired and appetizers are served under a thatched candlelit bar.

Access to the secluded Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge is by water only and guests arrive by boat after passing through the dramatic mountainous scenery of the Pacific Coast.

We found it extremely helpful to visit the Steppes office and have a face to face discussion with James about what our requirements were for our adventures in Costa Rica. He really listened and made sure that the trip was tailored to our needs.

Great work from John. The additions of zip-lining and surfing lessons were exciting experiences that we would not have considered without his expert guidance.
