Set 
              in a private nature reserve spread over 1,000 acres of Central America's 
              last remaining lowland tropical rainforest, Lapa Rios Ecolodge overlooks 
              the pristine point where the Golfo Dulce meets the wild Pacific 
              Ocean. Built in 1992, the hotel features 14 thatched bungalows built 
              along a line of three ridges connected by walking paths and steps, 
              each furnished with locally made bamboo furniture, and surrounded 
              by the rainforest. Guests feel part of the outdoors as constant 
              tropical breezes pass through screened window walls. Each bungalow 
              features a private deck and patio garden with an ocean view, complete 
              with an outdoor shower. Interior shower baths are tiled and have 
              two washbasins set in cristobal wood, matching the polished floors. 
              Two queen-size beds are draped with mosquito netting. The main lodge, 
              housing the restaurant and bar, soars 350 feet above the sea and 
              is built of local, natural materials. Rainforest hikes, bird-watching, 
              ocean kayaking, horseback riding, and surfing are some of the activities 
              offered. Guests can take massages, participate in yoga classes, 
              or relax at the pool while observing the many birds, monkeys and 
              other animals that come by. Amenities include private bath, daily 
              maid service, in-room safe, fax, laundry/dry cleaning service, currency 
              exchange, complementary coffee, gift shop, 24-hour security, health 
              spa/massage, and beach.
