Lapazul

Beautiful place in an amazing, peaceful location. The room was perfect! The staff were wonderful and the food was great! The pool was the nicest I have seen in Costa Rica, and I have stayed many places. I highly recommend staying at this incredible hotel!

Amazing views, beautiful people. Pura Vida

This is a wonderful and clean boutique hotel. The last mile and a half drive to the property is a narrow, winding and steep road, but the drive is well worth it. The view from the rooms is spectacular looking out onto the ocean and amazing sunsets. The staff made our stay. The waiters were very friendly and gave us information about the area and wildlife. We saw toucans and a sloth on the property. Our waiter, Giovani, shared a video of a sloth climbing a tree and I view it now to make me happy. The dining area was conducive to talking with other guests. They have a very nice yoga platform and readily provided mats. The staff responded to all of our requests promptly and happily. We will stay at Lapazul again if we visit Costa Rica.

We spent 2 nights at Lapazul and wish we had spent a couple more! This hotel is a unique paradise, offering incredibly stunning views, excellent service, and delectable food- truly one of a kind. Nestled on top of a hill, it’s a relatively new boutique hotel with fewer than a dozen rooms and 2 infinity pools. The hotel is conveniently located near beautiful beaches, Manuel Antonio Park, and the charming town of Dominical. Accessing the hotel requires a 4x4 or AWD due to the mountainous terrain, but the journey is absolutely worthwhile.  It’s the staff at Lapazul that take your experience to the next level. Adriana had an infectious smile and showed us around the property. She also looked into a horse riding tour for us, but we didn’t end up taking one because we wanted to spend more time on the beautiful property. George and Giovanni took great care of us when it came to food and drinks. George made sure we had a packed breakfast ready to go for an early morning excursion. Gio made excellent cocktails and wine recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with them that allowed us to learn more about the property and the local Costa Rican culture.  We will be promoting this unique property within our friend circle and will be back!
