Why Guests Love It

Gavilan Lodge is nestled in the lush rainforest of Sarapiqui, offering guests an authentic jungle experience. Nature enthusiasts appreciate its proximity to the La Selva Biological Station, Tirimbina Rainforest Center, and the Sarapiqui River for thrilling white-water rafting.

The lodge’s rustic charm is complemented by comfortable cabins that blend seamlessly with the natural environment. Guests often praise the well-maintained walking trails around the property that provide ample opportunities to encounter local wildlife such as toucans and monkeys.

Amenities include a small swimming pool that provides a refreshing escape from the tropical heat. The on-site restaurant serves hearty meals with local flavors, adding convenience for those who prefer staying within the lodge grounds after a day of exploration.

Things to Consider

Guests seeking luxury amenities might find Gavilan Lodge more basic than expected. While charming, its remote location means limited connectivity—those needing constant internet access should plan accordingly.

Noise from wildlife can be quite pronounced at night; light sleepers may want earplugs. Additionally, some visitors mention that transportation options are necessary due to its secluded setting away from urban conveniences.
