As a guest of Bahia Rica Fishing & Kayak Lodge, you'll find a terrace, a garden, and dry cleaning/laundry services. The front desk is open around the clock. Free self parking is available.
if you are looking to stay in the jungle, this is an awesome spot! We got to see plenty of wildlife. It was quiet and clean for being an outdoor space.
The property is 1,5 km from the ferrylanding, mostly uphill. Without a car you need to walk or pay the taxidriver whatever he asks (5000 colon, which seemed to be a ripoff for this distance). The little cabin is on a closed private hillside property with a nice secluded beach. The proximity of bioluminescence tours are its advantage. There are howlermonkeys and iguanas and birds around the house.
The little wooden cabin has an openair kitchen and a privet outside bathroom.
They provide good breakfast with more options.
The property has a special laidback, hippie style atmosphere.
Downside was that the little cabin and the beach and mainbuilding area was connected with more than 300 steps, and the little cabin gets very hot at nights, the provided fan did not helped. The bed isn't too comfortable and the house is barely bigger than the bed itself, it was hard to squeeze in the two mediumsize backpacks we were travelling with.
It coud have been cleaner.
Wir waren 3 NĂ€chte hier. Zuerst in einemâDoppelzimmerâ mit Dusche / Toilette in einem separaten HĂ€uschen. Sehr dunkel alles, und mit der Dusche /Toilette kommt man nur klar, wenn man kein Problem mit Tieren hat, da sie faktisch im Freien ist. Das Bett war super schmal (130cm?) und das HĂ€usschen kaum grösser- fĂŒr 90 Dollar total ĂŒberteuert. Dann sind wir in das Haus umgezogen, das man nur komplett mieten kann fĂŒr 160 Dollar pro Nacht mit 3 Schlafzimmern. Die Dusche ist hier gleich, man muss das Haus verlassen. Die Zimmer waren grösser aber auch eher dunkel und ein Moskitonetz ist sehr zu empfehlen. Das FrĂŒhstĂŒck war etwas lieblos. Wenig FrĂŒchte, Eier, Brot. Wir haben Kajaks gemietet und eine organisierte Biolumineszenz Tour gebucht. War beides super und das scheint auch klar das Hauptbusiness der Norweger zu sein.
Itâs an eco lodge so know that going in, if thatâs what youâre looking for youâll love it! Great owners and a nice home cooked breakfast in the mornings.
Amazing place! Breakfast was delicious, the owners are lovely, and the bioluminescence tour was my favorite experience from my trip to Costa Rica. This place is the picturesque glamping type of experience (not for anyone high maintenance). You get your basic amenities (bed, toilet/shower, small mini fridge, fan) but there aren't things like a TV, air conditioning, etc. They do have wifi, but it was in the main house and we stayed in the smaller one, which was too far for wifi. We loved our stay at Bahia Rica and 10/10 recommend for fellow adventurers!
The Bioluminescence experience was incredible. However the bed was extremely uncomfortable and made so much noise at the slightest moment. In addition, the price is expensive for the accommodation type. The owners are very friendly and helpful.
We loved our time here! We saw so many different types of animals there was never a dull moment. The food that was cooked for us was amazing and they took our dietary restrictions before cooking our meals. We ran into a few creepy crawlies at night so if you are scared of bugs this might not be the stop for you, though I should be explicit in saying that our room was perfectly clean and we didn't see a single bug in there!
Lastly we plan on coming again, but doing more research into what moon phase is going to be happening during our trip. We wanted to do the bioluminescence kayaking your but the moon was too bright.(a slight over simplification).
