On this Costa Rican adventure, we spend 14 nights in hotels and lodges. Make sure to bring your swimwear, as most have swimming pools. The normal accommodations used on this trip are on the day-to-day itinerary; however, below are a couple of the notable places we stay.



Upgrade your room on Day 1, 7, 8, 9, 13 and 14  of the itinerary – speak to your sales representative for more details. 



Savegre: Savegre Hotel & Spa or Trogon Lodge (nights 8-9)







In the middle of a natural forest reserve, Savegre Hotel & Spa (above) is the ideal place to immerse in nature. It has plant-filled gardens, multiple walking trails, and a lookout point with views over forested slopes. We sleep in wooden lodges, while Las Bromelias restaurant serves international and local cuisines (made with seasonal, indigenous produce) and Los Robles, a bar-lounge, serves cocktails and Savegre coffee. On some departures, we stay at the 24-room Trogon Lodge instead. It’s equally idyllic, with a farm-to-table restaurant, a river-view bar and two nature trails. 



Drake Bay: Drake Bay Wilderness Resort (nights 10-12)







When Herbert and Marleny founded this resort in 1985, they were among the first in the area – electricity would take 20 years to fully arrive here. They chose an excellent location. Right by the ocean, there’s plenty of spots to admire the bay, while fellow residents include white-faced monkeys, anteaters and even dolphins. Other highlights include a restaurant serving Costa Rican-American dishes, a saltwater swimming pool, and a bar with bay views. 



Worth knowing 



Some of the properties have ceiling fans rather than air conditioning. 

One or several of the named properties might be substituted for similar alternatives to secure hotel availability. Please discuss with your customer operations executive if you require more details regarding your specific departure date.
