I spent a couple of days at the Nicuesa Lodge and it was the most amazing place I've ever been to in Costa Rica. I wish I could've stay longer.

Questions about Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge

What time is check-in and check-out at Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge?

Check-in is from 9:00 AM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.

Does Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge allow pets?

No — the property states that pets are not allowed.

Is breakfast included at Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge?

Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.

Does Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?

The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.

How do I book Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge?

Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
