“Namuwoki Lodge strikes a chord with its Playa Chiquita location; it's a quiet retreat steps from the beach, yet still close enough for a quick taxi into Puerto Viejo. What stands out is the dedication to nature-monkeys and sloths are frequent visitors-and the team's genuine hospitality, making it a solid choice for an eco-conscious stay.”
