La Ensenada Lodge
Fodor's Review:
This is the most comfortable base for bird-watching and nature appreciation near the Río Tempisque. Part of a national wildlife refuge, the property is also a 1,000-acre cattle ranch and salt producer. The salt flats and nearby shallow waters attract wading birds (and crocodiles that snack on them). The good-sized pool has a gulf vista. The Isla Pájaros Biological Reserve, the country's largest breeding grounds for black-crowned night herons, is a short boat ride away. The wood cabins are small but comfortable, with verandas and views and big screened windows for breezes. The rancho restaurant serves buffet-style Italian and Costa Rican meals, including beef raised on the ranch.
