The
Pacuare Lodge is tucked away deep in the heart of Costa Rica's
most pristine rainforest environment on the banks of the Pacuare
River. 
Surrounded by nature in its purest and most primitive state,
here guests experience that most coveted of travelers' rewards,
an opportunity to savor the spirit of a place. The Pacuare Lodge's
thirteen bungalows and main lodge were designed and constructed
to blend with the surrounding environment, affecting minimal impact,
and has been recognized by the World Tourism Organization as one
of only sixty-five examples throughout the world of good practice
in sustainability and ecotourism.
The spacious palm-thatched Garden View Bungalow
features a canopy king bed, futon couch, hardwood
flooring, private terrace, and a spacious private bathroom adorned
with burnished
copper fixtures, private alfresco shower with solar-heated water,
and a nearly 360º rainforest view - all within an area seemingly
removed from time and the worries of the outside world, yet just
two and a half hours from San José, Costa Rica's capital
city.
The Jungle View Bungalows are among the newest
rooms and were especially designed for families. The room is exquisitely
decorated and features a canopy king size bed, hardwood flooring,
spacious terrace with hammock, and a private bathroom with heated
water and rainforest view. These rooms are the only ones on the
property that have limited electricity to illuminate the room
and bathroom.
The spacious (670 sq ft./ 62 sq. meters)
palm-thatched River View Suite includes a private terrace that
opens on to landscaped native bush gardens and towering vine-draped
trees. Around
the corner a raised hardwood deck offers a stunning view of a
massive wall of thick rainforest that cascades down a mountainside
opposite the Pacuare River. A luxuriously appointed canopy king
bed with crisp 300-thread Egyptian cotton linens, and superior
Beautyrest mattress caters to a serene, restful night's sleep.
A fully-tiled ensuite bathroom comes adorned with burnished copper
fixtures and offers a nearly 360º view of the jungle. Nearby,
a private alfresco shower with solar heated water lets visitors
soak up the quiet sounds and invigorating scents of the rainforest.
Set high on a lush jungle hilltop overlooking
the main lodge, the newly renovated Honeymoon Suite is an exquisitely
appointed palm-thatched bungalow with wide screened windows, teak
floors, hand-crafted rattan wicker chairs and plenty of natural
light. A
king size canopy bed with crisp 300-thread Egyptian cotton linens
is perfectly situated to offer one a nearly 360 degree panoramic
view of the rainforest. 
Just steps from your bed a double hammock
and canopy rattan sofa sit atop a pinewood deck. The 1290 ft²
(120m²) suite has a teak floor, ensuite bathroom with a solar
heated shower and two hand-painted ceramic water basins set in
a marble sink top. Nearby, a hardwood deck opens onto a magnificent
alfresco shower ensconced within the rich vegetation.
Each Linda Vista Suite also has a minibar,
room safe, bathrobes and a telephone to communicate with the main
building, as well as an innovative Eco-Concierge, who helps guests
with tour reservations, general information and any specific needs.
The suites offer a level of luxury that belies their remote location
- a king-size bed with Simmons Beauty Rest mattress, Egyptian
cotton sheets, leather chairs, a spacious bathroom with indoor
and outdoor showers and a long deck and a private dipping pool
fed by spring water. Each bungalow was built with special attention
to the hillside's topography so that guests enjoy gorgeous views
of the river and forest from every area - the bedroom, living
room, bathroom, deck and pool.
