Fodor's Expert Review Tirimbina Rainforest Lodge

A variety of comfy lodge accommodations put you close to this research complex's many fun nature-themed activities. The lodge is set in gardens that hug the Sarapiquí River. Standard rooms, which are laid out motel-style, facing the gardens, are basic but colorful, with bunk beds and your own chairs in front for relaxing. It's worth paying the slightly higher price for one of the deluxe rooms, which come with regular beds and a private terrace. All rooms have air-conditioning.
