The Lodge is outside of Golfito, but in the countryside. But it is easy to get to by 🚖 or public transport 🚍. I also saw 🐵 in the garden. The owner from Switzerland, Walther, is great. He drove me to the Supermarket and animals sanctuary. Bath towels and hand towels are changed daily. A great place to relax. Thank you Walther 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

There was no breakfast but there are places just down the road. It is a lodge, so its simple and basic, no AC, no hot water but that is what I expected. The gardens and local fauna are amazing.

A homely stay in Golfito

Very quiet and secluded outside of Golfito but very close to a good seafood restaurant - the chalets are small but comfortable and the property is well maintained and has lots of birds and animals with a stream running through bottom of the garden.The breakfast is served under the Bohio and is sufficient with lots of coffee and fruit.The hosts are very helpful and it’s feels like it’s a family home.Would be ideal for a small family to stay for a couple of nights.

Simple lodge in nice garden setting

The best part is the outdoor area, there are beautiful gardens we saw monkeys in the trees! Rooms are basic but comfortable. Fan and WiFi worked well. Tv had Netflix which was a nice surprise. They added a grudge in our room at my request which was appreciated

Since it wasn’t our first visit to his lodge, we knew him (the owner) and the area around it already. The fact that we have been here 3 times, should speak for itself. The rooms are modest and the nature around it, is unbelievable. Breakfast with monkeys and Tucans will be unforgettable. The owner is very forthcoming, he even took the time to help us with our car troubles.

Situated in the middle of the rainforest, the Purruja Lodge offers a nice, green space to relax and watch the wildlife. The stuff was friendly and uncomplicated. We asked for breakfast at arrival and it was really nice and also cheap.

Beautiful location with abundant wildlife and extremely cozy rooms!

The breakfast was absolutely delicious and the location could not have been better. The area is very lush and interspersed with beautiful gardens. Wildlife of bounds including at least two troops of squirrel monkeys who regularly visit in the morning. The owner was extremely accommodating and even went as far as to knock on my door to let me know of a beautiful boa constrictor that was outside, soon after sunset. On my departure day, the owner actually gave me a ride into town so as to avoid the cost of a taxi. I could not recommend La Parruja more!

Great value accomodation, lovely hosts and beautiful town

La Purruja Lodge is a real bargain. My room was light and spacious and the property is really beautiful, with tonnes of animals. Walter and Rosy are fantastic hosts who have been in Golfito for decades. I also found Golfito itself to be surprisingly charming. There is a bay, surrounded by jungle clad hillsides and lots of old wooden buildings from the American banana company - it feels like the setting of a novel.
