Rooms & Rates

Playa Cativo is a Costa Rican rainforest beachfront Eco Lodge like no other: we are committed to eco-conscious operations and providing unforgettable experiences during your stay. Each room allows guests to experience stunning sunsets, bask in the breeze from the sea, breathe in the fresh air of the rainforest, enjoy the gentle songs of the jungle, and savor the soothing sounds of the shore.

The lodge has a total of 18 guest rooms, each furnished with beautiful reclaimed hardwood and accented by charming tilework handcrafted by local artisans. All rooms offer refreshing rainfall showers, abundant solar-powered hot water, biodegradable bathroom amenities, cotton bathrobes and slippers, ceiling fans, binoculars, flashlights, complimentary Wi-Fi, twice-daily maid service, and safe deposit boxes.

Explore options for your stay within four main categories, while each space offers a unique design and comforts for you to enjoy during your stay. Some guestrooms are located within the Main Lodge and are closest to the El Gavilan restaurant, and the freshwater pool, featuring exquisite views of the Golfo Dulce and the surrounding rainforest. The Casitas are stand-alone rooms scattered around the tropical gardens of the lodge in a more private atmosphere. Located across the fresh-water pool and just steps away from the Gazebo Sunset Bar and the Adventure Center is our Fourplex building, featuring a communal outdoor lounge and a bigger plunge pool overlooking the Golfo Dulce. The Fourplex has two buildings with two rooms each, the rooms on top of each building are Premium and the rooms at the bottom are Luxury. The Fourplex is perfect for families and/or groups of friends traveling together.
