Fuego Lodge  

On Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula in Santa Teresa (Cóbano), this family-owned boutique lodge sits steps from Carmen Beach and a short walk to Santa Teresa Beach. Beach access is about 500 ft, with natural highlights like Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve and Montezuma Falls an easy drive away.

Eight air-conditioned units range from one- and two-bedroom apartments to a penthouse/honeymoon suite, three pool-front suites (up to 4 guests) and two standard king rooms. Rooms feature memory-foam beds with premium bedding, flat-screen TVs, private furnished balconies, minibars/fridges, coffee makers, safes and en-suite bathrooms with rainfall showers; some suites include fully equipped kitchens. Daily housekeeping and fresh towels are provided.

Dive into the outdoor pool, treat yourself to onsite massages at the spa center, or rent bicycles to explore nearby surf breaks. The property is gated with a terrace and garden — ideal for sunset hangs and sea-breeze mornings.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout the property. There’s a front-desk safe-deposit box, luggage storage, free self-parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle (available for a surcharge); note the front desk is staffed during limited hours.

Rooms come with coffee makers and fridges, and some units have full kitchens for self-catering. A bakery, pizza spots and several local restaurants are within a five-minute walk for post-surf meals and casual bites.
