At Cecropia Travel, chain hotels are out of the questions. Instead, we partner with locally-owned businesses or responsible choice lodges.
We have options to cater to anyone's budget - from simple guesthouses to luxurious ecolodges in the heart of the rainforest. In remote regions, such as the Osa Peninsula or Boca Tapada, areas are less developed and of a more simple style. However, the hand-crafted architecture, use of local materials, and remoteness all contribute towards a more authentic experience. |

Puntarenas
Puntarenas province stretches along most of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, from the Nicoya Peninsula’s southern tip, down through the Central Pacific, and to the wild Southern Zone of the Osa Peninsula. It also reaches inland to highland cloud forests like Monteverde, giving the province an unusual mix of beaches, islands, mangroves, rainforests, and cool mountain reserves.
Because of the stark mix of regions, the accommodation here is varied. From mountainous cabins, complete with fireplaces, to minimalistic lodges made using local materials. You'll also find luxury boutiques, offering unrivalled views of untamed jungles or ever-lasting oceans.
