La Quinta De Sarapiqui – A Favorite for Families in La Fortuna
About the Hotel
Rooms with Garden Views
La Quinta De Sarapiqui offers over 50 rooms in bungalows surrounded by tropical gardens. Each room includes a private bathroom with hot water, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, a walk-in closet, a hairdryer, and a safety box. Porches face the gardens, with hammocks and rocking chairs for observing native flora and fauna. Wheelchair-accessible rooms are available.
Dining & Local Produce
The lodge serves meals with fresh ingredients from its organic garden, including sweet peppers, lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. A salad bar offers 12 ingredients, such as hearts of palm, beetroots, and eggs. Grilled meats include chicken, beef, or pork, served with sides like rice, beans, and plantains. Desserts and coffee or tea complete the meal.
Rainforest Activities
Guests can explore 20 acres of trails, a butterfly garden, and a frog habitat. Two rainforest-immersed pools provide chances to spot howler monkeys and scarlet macaws. Activities include ziplining over the Sarapiquí River, white-water rafting, and guided tours of pineapple plantations. The lodge also offers night walks and chocolate-making workshops.
Location & Transportation
The lodge is 60 km from Aeropuerto de La Fortuna and near Braulio Carrillo National Park. Buses from San Jose to Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui take two routes: one through Heredia and another via Braulio Carrillo. Taxis are available from the Puerto Viejo bus stop. Driving from San Jose takes about two hours.
Sustainable Practices
La Quinta supports reforestation with native trees like Almendro de Montaña, home to green macaws. The farm produces lamb, chicken, and pork using low-stress grazing systems. Eggs come from free-range hens. Cooking workshops use harvested vegetables, and guests can plant trees during their stay.
