We spent three days at Gaia, a beautiful, small lodge nestled in the hills above San Ignacio. The room was beautiful and looked out over the waterfalls, the sounds of which lulled us to sleep. Dinner and drinks in the main lodge were excellent. We also went on an Intro to Birding tour in the morning, saw toucans and other birds and went on the tour of the garden which supplies fruits and veg to Gaia and to its sister resort in San Pedro. You can hike along the nature paths and walk down to the waterfall and chill out there (and take the funicular back up!). I was a bit worried that we were too far out of San Ignacio for first time visitors who were going to be out and about doing things like the ATM cave tour and visiting ruins, but the road is now almost entirely paved (only the last 10 mins are off road, and that section is graded). Gaia is better suited to those who want a few days in a beautiful luxury setting away from it all. But with our own rental car, we had the best of both worlds and left feeling refreshed by the greenery and water, the beauty of Gaia, and uniformly fantastic people who work there.

We love the individual “Casita” arrangement - and so many neat locations around the property, yet, everything is so convenient! The staff is unmatched with their friendliness, willingness to educate and inform us/any to the area, the culture, the country and their experiences. There was not one employee we encountered or had interaction with that was not first class! We will return and be sure to recommend to others, friends and family!

A Slice of Paradise!
All we can say is WOW — Gaia Riverlodge left a wonderful impression. Truly magical, and by that I mean the hotel itself as well as the professional and courteous team. From Nigel and Kobe at reception, Freddy and team at the restaurant, to Elias on the grounds, all went worked to ensure our stay was a delight. Including the property’s mascot, Coco, who expertly escorted us through the nature path! Highly recommended!

Amazing place!
Even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Was in another lodge in 2019 and this place is awesome. Only issue is that tours aren’t actually as advertise. Ours had beer included, but we had to pay them. Staff is amazing, our Guide Rick was very knowledgeable and friendly. We even had our private guide(Koko the resort dog) bring us to Big Rock falls( a must see if you can). I would recommend to anyone thinking of visiting this part of the country.

The lodge was really nice with lots of atmosphere and lush gardens. The best was a view of waterfalls from our cabana and you could hear them too. Very soothing. Also, could take a small funicular down to beach area where you could swim amongst the waterfalls. The lodge would even bring you lunch and drinks. The staff and tour guides were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. The food was excellent too! Highly recommend! Very satisfied!
