The Best Part of Our Costa Rican Vacation

Lake Coter Eco Lodge No Comments »

My family and I spent four of the best days of our vacation in Costa Rica at Lake Coter Eco Lodge. Our boys are ages 10 and 13. The cabin we stayed in was simple yet elegant. We had a perfect view of the Arenal Volcano. After an excellent breakfast each morning, we spent our days enjoying the natural beauty and wonders of the area.

People at the hotel provided us with an excellent guide, and they helped us plan our tours and adventures. We truly enjoyed their friendly, warm hospitality. We were there during the rainy season but it really didn’t matter. During our four days there, we were able to go horseback riding, zip lining, swimming near a waterfall, swimming in the hot springs, nature walking over hanging bridges, and we even got off our horses to enjoy a local soccer game that was being played near Lake Coter Eco Lodge retreat. We truly had a great time. We wish we could have stayed longer.

You may want to rent a vehicle when you go there. It really made things even more convenient.

This place is fantastic. Everyone gets their own cabin with a lovely wood patio and great views of the volcano. The cabins are spacious and comfortable and afford a great deal of privacy. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Reservations include a large buffet breakfast with fresh fruit and an omelet station.

Don’t be alarmed by the hotel’s distance from the main road or the rocky path to the reception area. It’s not that far and the accommodations are well worth the trip.

My husband and three daughters (6, 8 and 11) stayed here for three nights, and it was hard to leave! The view from our back patio was spectacular. I believe that all the cabins have a “volcano view. It is so very beautiful and peaceful there. We did have a talk and demonstration by the Maleku Indians. They have a hut set down beyond the dining hall in the woods where this was conducted. They had masks, gourd paintings and other native crafts for sale.

The dinners are buffet style. The food was good, based on other places we ate on the trip. As with all Costa Rican dinners, there’s always beans and rice, usually was a meat and fish, fresh fruit, vegetables, and at least one cooked vegetable. Desserts in Costa Rica are things like rice pudding, flan,

Our tour guide did our nature hike, which was through the wooded area of the lodge, pretty rough terrain…I had a pair of walking poles which were useful(over 65), should not be a problem for you and your family. We did a kayak trip on the lake, had visited the hot springs on the way from San Jose, and a float trip on Rio Tenorio.

The birds at the feeders outside the dining room were great at breakfast. The dining room is far down hill from the lodging, so expect some hiking.
