Why should you trust us?
The Swank Guide has partnered with Booking.com and Tripadvisor to provide easy booking links for the hotels we recommend. Why? Because it ensures we can get you the lowest price, and it helps us continue to bring you empowering and entertaining content.
This new booking feature does not signal a change in our total editorial independence or in our status as a fully fan-supported business. Simply put: we have no financial relationship with any hotel or experience we recommend. We do not accept bags of cash, Dodgers tickets, sacrificial animals or blushing flatteries. The only way to get recommended by Swank is if we've tried it, loved it and would recommend it to our family and friends.

Swank you!

Nestled deep in the Costa Rican jungle, Pacuare Lodge is the ultimate hideaway for adventure seekers and nature lovers. Located about three hours from San Jose, the only way to reach this remote paradise is by rafting down thrilling rapids or swinging across a river in a basket. Once you’ve made it through that exhilarating entrance, you’ll find yourself in a secluded haven with just 20 bungalows, ensuring an intimate and exclusive experience.
This eco-friendly lodge offers a restaurant serving a mix of local and international cuisine, perfect for refueling after a day of exploration. There’s also a spa where you can unwind and a pool for a refreshing dip. But don’t expect a gym – here, your workouts come in the form of canyoning, zip-lining, and jungle treks. The lodge’s sustainability efforts score a 10/10, powered by over 200 solar panels and hydroelectric generators, making it a guilt-free luxury retreat.
Ideal for those who want some adventure and a break from city life, Pacuare Lodge provides a genuine Costa Rican jungle experience without sacrificing comfort. With its charming rustic architecture and a host of activities, it’s a top pick for families with children over seven, couples looking for a unique getaway, and solo travelers ready to embrace their wild side. Just remember, this isn’t for the faint-hearted or the WiFi-dependent.
