La Paloma is a small nature-oriented lodge located in Drake’s Bay, near Corcovado National Park. It is about an 6 hour trip via ground and boat transportation or a 40 minute flight from San Jose. Sitting on top of a cliff, the lodge is blessed by a refreshing sea breeze and a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean and Caño Island.
- Great for birdwatchers, nature lovers and photographers.
- Also for honeymooners that are into nature.
- Lots of variety of sea life, not as much coral as on the Caribbean side, but more fish diversity around Cano Island.
- Excellent option for clients looking for a sophisticated, secluded place to relax set in a natural tropical environment.
- Not recommended for small children, as there are not many suitable activities available, and also due to the hotel’s quiet atmosphere.
Hotel facilities include a restaurant, bar, and swimming pool.
7 deluxe ranchos (large thatched roofed cabins) that comfortably hold from 2 to 5 guests. These are two story rooms; on the upper floor is a king bed with a private bathroom while on the first floor guests can find one queen bed and one single sharing a bathroom.

CST LEVEL

The Certification for Sustainable Tourism Program – CST – is a product of the Costa Rican Tourism Board and it is regulated by the Costa Rican National Accreditation Commission. The certification is based on an accreditation of a scale of 5 “levels” of sustainable tourism achievement.
CST gives you reliable information regarding companies that make efforts to improve their management and operations to offer a sustainable product. It is also a good tool to differentiate those companies that are truly engaged with sustainable practices, from others that claim to be sustainable but are inconsistent in their actions.
