Official Description (provided by the hotel):: Hidden in the hilltops overlooking the pristine beaches of Costa Rica's still-virgin south pacific, where the ocean crashes into the jungle sits La Cusinga. Tucked away in a private reserve of over 600 acres, this rainforest lodge provides guests with sweeping ocean views, sandy beaches, natural pools, and the chance to experience the burgeoning forests and astonishing wildlife of the country's most famous ecosystem - OSA. The hotel offers ten rooms designed with sustainably-harvested wood and local materials to maximize comfort while minimizing impact on the environment. The open-air restaurant creates an ideal setting for couples and families alike to enjoy delicious tropical dishes made with fresh produce grown on our farm. In addition to the hundreds of acres of privately-owned primary and secondary forest, the lodge borders the Ballena Marine National Park, one of only two nationally-protected marine zones in the whole country. The lodge's genuine commitment to sustainable practices along with our first-hand experience in local and national conservation efforts enrich our guests' appreciation of these ecosystems and the importance of their continued preservation. This unique insight enhances the exploration of the natural surroundings while the beautiful location offers the tranquility of fresh ocean breezes and breathtaking sunsets that make for the perfect tropical escape. ... more less

My wife and daughter and I stayed at La Cusinga for three days and nights, May 7-9. Our time there was an unforgettable experience at the end of a ten-day Costa Rican tour, and we found it to be a perfect way to end our adventure.

“A little rustic”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

We were due a 4night stay at La Cusinga, but ended up with just one night. A combination of a very bad dinner followed by scorpion and cockroach in the bedroom meant we re thought our plans and relocated to Manuel Antonio. On a plus side, the staff are really friendly and there are lots of birds in the grounds,... More

“Peaceful, Beautiful Eco Lodge but most love nature!”

La Cusinga is a beautiful, simple property with expansive ocean views from the main deck. The food is fresh and wonderful and also simple. Think fish with a tasty sauce or salsa on the side, delicious soups and salad, grilled vegetables, home made corn tortillas and home made ice cream, etc. There are several hiking trails through rain forest-- shoes...

This place is incredibly thoughtful. It is beautiful, clean, simple, sustainable, no frills. The food is the best I've ever had--true, real, fresh, delicious Costa Rican food. I am... More

“Overpriced and disappointing”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

My husband and I stayed at La Cusinga Lodge, as part of out honeymoon in Costa Rica. The good reviews on Tripadvisor and the fact that it was the highest price we paid in the whole trip (140$ per night after discount) made us book a room for 3 nights, thinking it would be a good place to indulge ourselves....

This place is incredible. Saw more wildlife here than anywhere else. Peaceful and quiet. The forest and trails, the ocean views, the accommodations all were terrific. The staff were very accommodating and helpful. You have to be able to walk up and down hills and navigate rocky paths--not good for small children or anyone who has trouble walking. No air... More

We had our private viewing platform off our bed room deck: Howler Monkeys, White face Monkeys, a Tayra, many many types of birds.
