La Quinta Sarapiqui Country Inn "A true, tropical
delight"
Introduction: The La Quinta Sarapiqui Country
Inn is owned and operated by a Costa Rican couple, Leonardo and
Beatriz Jenkins whose attention to meals, personal service, and
YOUR tropical experience while there will be most evident and
appreciated. A nice selection of wildlife can be seen along the
gallery forest next to the two adjoining rivers including the
impressive Gray-necked Wood-Rail, several species of parrots and
toucans, and the dancing White-collared Manakins on their lek.
For many years now, a pair of Spectacled Owls have made this area
their home. During breakfast and lunch you can enjoy watching
colorful tanagers and honeycreepers coming to the banana feeding
tables as you dine. They have also started a reforestation program
that will benefit the Great Green Macaws of tomorrow. From butterfly
and frog gardens to a cultural museum, La Quinta has much to offer
in helping inspire and educate its guests on the wonders of the
tropical rainforest.
Location: La Quinta is located on the Sardinal
River in the Caribbean lowlands, less than 2 kms off the beaten
track, 20 minutes west of Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui. It is approximately
25 minutes from the La Selva OTS Station and less than 2 hours
from the San Jose airport.
Accommodations: La Quinta has 23 comfortable
rooms in bungalows surrounded by beautiful gardens. The rooms
are clean, well maintained, with ceiling fan, private bathroom,
and hot water in each. Superb meals of local and int'l cuisine
are served buffet style in the open-air dining room. Feel free
to escape the midday heat with a dip in the swimming pool or just
relax in a hammock. A wildlife library is also at your disposal,
"Now what was that butterfly with the red and yellow wings?"
Advantages of staying at
La Quinta:
- The best meals I have had in the area, if not Costa
Rica!
- Comfortable rooms with private bathrooms.
- A wide variety of activities is offered.
- Swimming pool.
- Excellent personal service.
Compared to Selva Verde Lodge, La Quinta is smaller with
a more personal feel to it, has a swimming pool, and is
closer to La Virgen del Socorro by 10 minutes. |
