라파줄(Lapazul)

We spent 2 nights at Lapazul and wish we had spent a couple more! This hotel is a unique paradise, offering incredibly stunning views, excellent service, and delectable food- truly one of a kind. Nestled on top of a hill, it’s a relatively new boutique hotel with fewer than a dozen rooms and 2 infinity pools. The hotel is conveniently located near beautiful beaches, Manuel Antonio Park, and the charming town of Dominical. Accessing the hotel requires a 4x4 or AWD due to the mountainous terrain, but the journey is absolutely worthwhile.  It’s the staff at Lapazul that take your experience to the next level. Adriana had an infectious smile and showed us around the property. She also looked into a horse riding tour for us, but we didn’t end up taking one because we wanted to spend more time on the beautiful property. George and Giovanni took great care of us when it came to food and drinks. George made sure we had a packed breakfast ready to go for an early morning excursion. Gio made excellent cocktails and wine recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with them that allowed us to learn more about the property and the local Costa Rican culture.  We will be promoting this unique property within our friend circle and will be back! 

Several amazing features: the staff was amazing. The views were breathtaking, the food delightful, the wildlife entertaining, the inifinity pool was refreshing.

I had high expectations, and the property and staff blew those expectations away. From arrival to departure, the staff made sure that we were taken care of in every way. The property views (pool, sunset, yoga deck) were incredible. The food was exceptional. I could not have asked for a better experience.

There are no words to describe Lapazul. It is the most stunning location. The staff and facilities are the best.
