🌋 La Fortuna — at the foot of Arenal Volcano
Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa
Costa Rica's most iconic thermal address — a natural hot spring river running straight through the property, tropical gardens, and a 5-star spa built around it.

Lost Iguana Resort & Spa
Set deeper into the rainforest, about 30 minutes from town, with volcano views from nearly every room. The trade-off for the distance is total immersion.
Book this stay →
Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails
A hotel located inside Arenal Volcano National Park itself — closer to the volcano than anywhere else in the area. A 3-star rating (the highest for a mountain lodge in Costa Rica) with 500+ bird species on the grounds, for travellers who'd rather put the budget toward the experience than the room.

☁️ Monteverde — high in the cloud forest
Koora Hotel
A recently opened eco-lodge overlooking the Gulf of Nicoya, with a design-forward take on cloud forest living.
Book this stay →
Monteverde Cloud Forest Lodge
A more rustic ecolodge set within the Bellbird Biological Corridor — no pool, no excess, just forest on every side.
Book this stay →
🌴 Puerto Viejo — the Caribbean coast
Namu Garden Hotel & Spa
Adults-only, a 3-minute walk from Playa Negra. A quieter, more polished version of the Caribbean coast.
Book this stay →
Tree House Lodge
Handbuilt treehouses steps from Punta Uva beach, inside the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. As close as it gets to sleeping inside the jungle.
Book this stay →
🌿 Uvita — south Pacific coast
Oxygen Jungle Villas
Private villas above the whale-shaped bay of Ballena, built for slow mornings and ocean views.
Book this stay →
Eight addresses, four regions, one country that rewards those who take the time to move between them.
If you'd rather not figure out which of these fits your trip — or how to string two or three together without losing days to driving — that's exactly where Séquence comes in.
