When the Palmetto Lodge officially opens to guests on December 2, 2022, the operators will have had a year and a half of renovation, conversion and new construction work to do. The existing building ensemble was completely equipped with new floors, ceilings and sanitary installations. New partition walls, a seven meter high, completely redesigned lobby with bar and conference facilities make the main building of Palmetto Lodge a place that combines natural elements of the region such as teak with the most modern possibilities for remote working and conferencing. At an altitude of 170 meters above the Pacific, we offer our guests lovingly designed luxury accommodation in an extraordinary environment. Just 1 mile from the beach and in close proximity to some of the area’s best restaurants, Palmetto Lodge is nestled in the jungles of the Nicoya Peninsula. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets with a cocktail on the pool deck. Experience the wildlife of Costa Rica in the immediate vicinity. Wake up to howler monkeys, watch iguanas, armadillos, coatis and parrots from your patio. Discover secluded dream beaches and take advantage of the wide range of leisure activities right on your doorstep. Please keep in mind that you will need a car with 4x4 to reach Palmetto Lodge. If you travel with another type of car you should contact us in advance. Then we can arrange your transportation.
After 30 years in the events business, we started over in Costa Rica in 2022 with a small B&B hotel. Living in the middle of the jungle with a breathtaking 180-degree view of the Pacific is new. What has remained is our passion for pampering our guests. We are looking forward to welcome you in our paradise!
