Santa Juana Lodge

Santa Juana Lodge, nestled in the picturesque region of Naranjito, Puntarenas, offers guests an authentic Costa Rican rural experience. The lodge's setting, surrounded by lush forests and vibrant wildlife, provides a tranquil retreat from the bustle of everyday life. Accommodation options include deluxe casitas, two-bedroom houses, a chalet, and standard rooms, each thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort. Guests can expect cozy interiors featuring kitchenettes, king-size beds, sofa couches, and modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs with Chromecast. Many rooms boast private balconies or terraces, offering expansive views of the tropical jungle landscape and the Pacific coastline.

Dining at Santa Juana Lodge offers a genuine taste of traditional Costa Rican cuisine. The village staff at the 'Aquí no más' restaurant prepare and serve authentic Campesino meals, emphasizing local flavors and ingredients. The meals are set against a backdrop of natural beauty, complementing the lodge's commitment to providing an immersive cultural experience.

The lodge is part of a larger nature reserve, offering opportunities for guests to explore the surrounding landscape. Activities include the Green Waterfalls tour, where guests can discover the source of mountain springs within the Cloudmaker Nature Reserve, located in the Fila Chonta mountain corridor. Though the lodge is a convenient 60-minute drive from Manuel Antonio National Park, it is entirely off the beaten path, ensuring a peaceful and secluded stay. A 4x2 SUV vehicle is suitable for reaching the lodge, but a 4x4 is recommended for a more elevated experience, especially when exploring the rugged terrain.
