“This Portalon eco-lodge offers immersion in the rainforest, complete with a private waterfall. The focus on organic, local cuisine is a definite plus, as is the proximity to both beaches and Manuel Antonio National Park. In my opinion, the blend of a nature retreat and family-friendly amenities creates an appealing Costa Rican experience.”
