“Staying at La Loma Lodge was nothing short of magical. The lodge is beautifully tucked away in the rainforest, surrounded by vibrant wildlife and the serene sounds of nature.
The accommodation was stunning — open-air, thoughtfully designed, and deeply connected to the environment. Every detail feels intentional, from the comfortable beds to breathtaking views of the forest, to having privacy from other rooms, to having two hammocks, to toilet paper holders ;). It’s the perfect balance of charm and comfort.
The food and drinks deserve their own spotlight. Most ingredients are grown right on the property (even the pepper on the table and hot sauce are so), and every meal (and also the non-alcoholic drinks) is fresh and absolutely delicious. Dining at La Loma is more than a meal — it’s an experience and you’ve even got the best view of the bay ever from the restaurant.
But what truly makes La Loma exceptional is the people. The hosts and staff are welcoming, passionate, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and chocolate farm. Their care for sustainability and respect for the environment shines through in everything they do.
From hiking through the cacao farm and learning about chocolate-making to trying different local fruits and spotting sloths right from the restaurant, every moment was unforgettable.
If you’re looking for a place that’s more than just a stay — a place that connects you with nature and leaves you feeling inspired — La Loma Lodge is it. Without a doubt, one of the most remarkable travel experiences we’ve ever had. Make sure you stay a bit longer than we did, one night was definitely not enough.”
“The location is great and very calm but yet, only 5 minutes in taxi boat from the main area. The owners are extremely nice and helpful and their food was excellent”
“Marco and the fellas running the place are lovely. They do a great job to make sure your stay is the best it can be. They book trips and tours for you, help you out with queries and make the most delicious breakfasts.
I absolutely loved the deck area with the swings and hammocks looking out over the water. It was really a lovely place to spend an afternoon/evening or eat your breakfast on. I liked the fact you could have a drink on there also from their bar.
Taxi rides are so cheap and it's a quick ride to the town. I loved the cats and dogs too.”
“Very comfortable, good value accommodation for our family located right on the beachfront a 2 minute water taxi ride from main town. Lots do do around us and on the activities in the area. Staff were friendly and helpful”
“Really liked the pool, big and nice temperature.
The lock on the door didn’t work and the shower was cold. These were both fixed quickly after we reported them
Towels provided for the pool”
“We had an amazing family holiday at Bluff Beach Retreat! Augusto and Anita and all staff are doing an excellent job to care for their guests. We felt very welcome, received many helpful recommendations and enjoyed the extremely delicious breakfast.
Our room was clean at all times and very spacious for us three. There are only very few mosquitos, we felt safe and the beach right at across the road (which was not busy) was beautiful. Unlike some other hotels around here, ours was always quiet with only nature sounds to hear which we enjoyed. No music all day long, no queuing at the pool and the other guests were very friendly and nice to talk to. Make sure to do some grocery shopping before coming to the hotel as there are no shops around.
We wish we could have stayed longer and would love to come back one day to this paradise place.”
