Hotel Villa Lapas is an eco-resort, the hotel located in the Pacific rainforest of Costa Rica near the bustling town of Jaco. Our close proximity to the Carara National Reserve, the Tárcoles river and our own private reserve allows us the singular luxury of offering you the unique comparison of two different ecosystems and two different climates.

This hotel offers some unique on grounds amenities surrounded by lush tropical gardens sitting in the midst of a private 500 acre jungle reserve. Experience the raw power of the rainforest through our SkyWay walking tour or let your adrenaline flow on our canopy zip line adventure or simply lounge by the pool or Jacuzzi. Every night, we offer great entertainment shows that are fun for all ages. The colonial-style Santa Lucía town that is located at Villa Lapas offers restaurant, church, souvenir shop and a local cantina.

Villa Lapas features more than 55 large rooms (single and double occupancy), all of them in an area surrounded by gardens and beautiful tropical rainforests. The rooms offer two double beds, AC, private bathroom with hot water, and views of the loveley property.

Once tucked into your bungalow, it’s time to explore. There’s an abundance of fun and exciting activities to indulge in on this tropical vacation. There are horseback riding exursions, scuba diving, snorkeling, and waterfall tours. For those bird watchers the Carara National Park is one of the only two places in Costa Rica left to see the endangered Scarlet Macaw.
