Hacienda La Pacífica Eco-Lodge  

Out in the Costa Rican countryside just outside Cañas on the Interamericana Highway in Guanaste, Hacienda La Pacífica Eco-Lodge is an eco-minded retreat with quick access to nature. Canas Park is minutes away by car, Tenorio Volcano National Park and Lake Arenal sit within roughly 28–30 km, Palo Verde National Park is a short drive, and Daniel Oduber Intl. Airport (LIR) is about 54.5 km away; the local bus stop is roughly 100 meters from the property.

This intimate eco-lodge has 21 individually furnished rooms, villas and suites with wooden furniture, hand-painted bathroom tiles, private balconies or porches, ceiling fans and satellite or cable TV. Expect garden and terrace views, rainfall showers and simple, cozy decor that leans local and handcrafted.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, stroll the gardens and relax on the terrace; a spa center is available for downtime. On-site activities include horse riding and wildlife-watching outings on the grounds, plus picnic and BBQ areas. Concierge, gift shop/newsstand, luggage storage and an area shuttle (surcharge) round out the practical perks—wake up to garden breezes and easy access to nearby parks.

The property offers a business center, conference center and meeting rooms for events, with complimentary wireless internet access, newspapers in the lobby, luggage storage, free self parking and roundtrip airport shuttle service (surcharge).

Dine at Hacienda La Pacífica restaurant for regional cuisine and a mix of international and local dishes, enjoy drinks at the bar/lounge or alfresco garden dining, and order cooked-to-order breakfasts daily (7:00 AM–10:00 AM) for a fee.
