Atlantida Lodge

I loved this hotel. It's super close to the beach, the landscaping is amazing, colorful birds and frogs everywhere, and the breakfast is cooked to order. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to town. We had the deluxe room and it was large and airy, with a big fan to help keep you cool. The bathroom was also big and everyday we had new clean towels. The pizza in the restaurant was tasty too!

Most of the issues people might have had issues with are resolved. Pool area is great now but showers remain less than useful. Pressure and flow is very low. Rooms are quite dark but not having air conditioning was no problem when we were there in March. The owner is a friendly and helpful person and staff do their best to be helpful. The location is great although the road to town is a bit rough. Parking is excellent and the resort feels safe. It's about 50 meters from the playa Negra and restaurants are nearby. The grounds of the hotel are really well kept and exotic and tropical. We saw many monkeys and poison dart frogs on the grounds. Price is right at around $70 a night. Thanks for having us.

I loved my stay at Atlantida Lodge. It was in a perfect location, across from the beach and a short walk into town. The grounds were lovely and full of flowers and wildlife. And the staff were amazing, they made me feel welcome and were the icing on the cake of a very lovely place. I'll definitely be coming back!

The hotel is situated on beautiful grounds with flowers and wildlife abundant. The staff is excellent, friendly and warm, and they cater to your every need and want. Great time.

Wonderful. Steve and Julian et al, wow. I'm figuring when I can return.

This hotel staff was outstanding -- the two French Canadian cousins who managed it were wonderful. The hotel itself is set in a lush tropical garden, but the rooms are pretty basic and dark (especially when the sun goes down at 5:30). The facilities would be good for groups, since there are nice poolside amenities as well as beach access. This hotel is in Cahuita, which is a pretty rough village 4+ hours from the airport by car over narrow roads. If you're looking for something "off the beaten path" this would be great. Beaches and parks were nice, and not heavily used. The national park gives you coral reef and rainforest with animals within walking distance of the hotel.

in the pictures it looks like a nice hotel, but once you get there it is not as comfy as the pictures.

The location plus the hotel amenities are excellent. Room itself was average but acceptable. Nothing to complain. Also the staff are friendly. In conclusion, good value for the money but don't expect great comfort.

Clean, friendly service, great pool, across street from beach. Good breakfast.short 10 walk to center town. Great for couple or family

This is hotel was started decades ago, starting with a couple of cabins for rent in a safe fenced lot. Now there are tons of rooms and cabins available, a pool, and a restaurant. The thing is, you can't tell because the gardens and trees are so thick that you can't see any other rooms unless they are right next to you. It's like a jungle paradise with fruit and flowering trees and bushes everywhere. Jasmine trees and hibiscus flowers of all kinds, Heliconia and palms, all in bloom. We saw the stunningly colorful poison dart frogs by the road, tucans and a masked tityra front the pool, and numerous other birds throughout the trails on the property. The birdsong in the morning was delightful! And of course there is the caffeine-addicted parrot demanding coffee at the restaurant... :) They rented us bicycles so it was easy to get around town though it was easy to walk everywhere too. We were a group of 6 and there was another group of professors there on an organised trip. It was perfect for people of different interests to do different things and yet we could also all meet easily for a meal or just to talk in the many inviting outdoor places. The staff was cheerful and helpful, the manager is French Canadian so is fluent in English and French too.
