This was our second visit to La Cusinga and the first for our children, ages 10 and 6. We had a lovely spacious cabin with plenty of comforts. We as before were awed by the peace and beauty. The children (and the adults) loved both the beach and the wooded pool. The flora and fauna are spectacular! It was a particular pleasure to see the kids' faces hearing the howler monkeys for the first time! The food and service are wonderful! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Everything here was perfect. We saw monkeys, birds, sunsets. The grounds are beautiful. This was a highlight of our trip!

We discovered La Cusinga on our first visit to Costa Rica half a dozen years ago, and ever since, it has been our definition of pure pleasure. We head straight there from the airport and don't budge until it's time to go home. For us, the place has many attractions: the beauty of the location overlooking a marine national park; the simple but elegant accommodations; the superb meals served in an open-air restaurant; the friendly, efficient staff; the black sands and warm waters of Playa Arca; the stunning yoga pavilion; and the abundant wildlife. Think toucans, aracaris, pizotes, capuchins, howler monkeys. Sustainability is not just a buzz word at La Cusinga. It is the heart of the whole operation. We couldn't recommend this Eco Lodge more highly.

Pura Vida! Sustainable Eco Lodge, without feeling the need for air condition. I am the first one to say," I Need air condition and hot water consistently"! So when I say, going this time of year was perfect, I mean, no sweat!

I was in a group room, so I believe this was the cause for limited hot water. The yoga participants in the private rooms did not seem to have this problem. I would indeed go private next time. All of the rooms were beautiful, comfortable and clean!

The location was fabulous, the reason for being there! Mountainside overlooking the Pacific ocean. Nature is #1 at La Cusinga!! The gorgeous private beach was a 20min hike down the mountain. If you prefer you can take a taxi 5-10 min. to the beautiful local pubic beaches.

The service was wonderful. The staff were all so happy,friendly and helpful. Always an English speaking manager around to assist! The owner was gracious and modest. He has an incredible story of how La Cusinga came to be. Also, why it remains so exclusive:) It is a perfect model of how we can preserve our planet. The buffets were delicious and nutritious (Plenty of local fresh fruits) with plenty of vegan and raw alternatives for each meal.

The Yoga Center, well, IT IS PERFECT! Indescribable energy! I will down load some pics!
