La Palapa Eco Lodge Resort, surrounded by tropical gardens is located in a virgin Tropical Rainforest, with 149 Acres (60.5 Hectares) of land, in the Central Pacific Coast of Portalon in Costa Rica, offering an incredible wildlife variety of fauna and flora. A perfect place and the paradise for passionate wildlife lovers. The La Palapa Resort is considered one of the most beautiful and well kept in, Quepos, Matapalo, Domini-cal and U vita area, with grounds and tropical gardens beautifully maintained and clean, by dedicated staff that deliver the best service every day. The La Palapa Ecolodge Resort was built inside a rain forest were Toucans like to nest and wake you up every morning.

The La Palapa Resort is considered one of the most beautiful and well kept in the area, with grounds and tropical gardens beautifully maintained and clean, by dedicated staff that deliver the best service every day.

This is a very calm and quiet tropical rainforest resort away from modern civilization that delivers to all the clients that stay in it, the peace and tranquility that only a few have managed to create, respecting wildlife.

On the road and very near the resort, clients have small typical grocery stores called "Pulperias", to buy whatever they need during their stay.

The pristine Playa Linda Beach, full of Coconut palms is just 5 minutes away from the resort, and is the ideal place to walk, read a book, spend the day, try your luck fishing or swim in the Pacific Waters with a guaranteed temperature of 28C all year round.

Airy bungalows are non-smoking, have very comfortable beds, ceiling fans, private terrace with bamboo table and chairs, cool tiled floors, private bathroom with hot shower, large furnished living room with an extra bed, kitchenette with refrigerator, oven and set of dishes, screened windows that let in gentle breezes and melodic sounds from the jungle as you fall asleep.

We have also Special Community Programs to improve school equipments and any type of needs for the Primary School of Portalon, and encourage clients that stay in the resort to visit the school and participate, in the wildlife preservation activities, and offer the school materials, books, etc... Hands-on, interactive approche for exploring the rain forest at "La Palapa", promises for the "best practices" regarding forest preservation, are needed to restore the tropical rain forests in several ways. For us creating forest corridors, are essential to the long-term preservation of biodiversity for countless plant, animal, amphibian and insect species. Our rain forest lands will be perpetually protected and available under our supervision for studies of ecological succession and restoration techniques under Costa Rica environment laws. The setting of "La Palapa Eco Lodge Resort" is what most of our clients refer as paradise on earth. At our resort we say: "where heaven can wait". However, the Resort is much more than lush tropical gardens and rainforest and wildlife. While staying with us, the guests are able to enjoy a friendly hospitality vacation in paradise, and at the same time feel that they are doing something good for the planet.

Excellent hidden oasis

La Palapa is a great place to enjoy a quiet vacation. A hidden oasis with wonderful staff, exquisit grounds, and beautiful bungalows, my partner and I really enjoyed our time there. Christina, a former chemical engineer turned resort owner/cook was accommodating and welcoming. She shared stories, photos, humor. Regarding location, this is the perfect place for a family with kids or anyone aiming to get away from the hussle and bussle of city life. Nearby are a couple of semi-private beaches (ask for a map!) and not much else. A great getaway! This hotel doesn't list itself as LGBT friendly but indeed, we felt warmly welcomed.
