Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to experience Villas Palma Costa and the Iguanita Refuge?

We find the dry season, from December to April, offers the most reliable weather for exploring the refuge and enjoying the hotel's amenities. The sun-drenched days are perfect for wildlife spotting, though the green season brings lush landscapes and fewer crowds, which we also appreciate for a different kind of tranquility.

What kind of unique wildlife encounters can we expect around Villas Palma Costa and Refugio de Vida Silvestre Iguanita?

While the refuge is named for its impressive iguanas, we've been delighted by the vibrant birdlife and playful monkeys often seen right from the hotel grounds. Keep an eye out for howler monkeys in the mornings and a variety of colorful tropical birds flitting through the palms; it truly feels immersive.

What is the overall atmosphere and experience like at Villas Palma Costa, and does it feel luxurious?

Villas Palma Costa offers a wonderfully relaxed yet refined atmosphere; we love how the architecture blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, with spacious villas that provide a private, comfortable retreat after a day of exploration, making it perfect for unwinding.

Beyond visiting Refugio de Vida Silvestre Iguanita, what other activities do you recommend from Villas Palma Costa?

We highly recommend taking advantage of the hotel's proximity to the coast for some fantastic snorkeling or a sunset boat trip; the sunsets are sensational over the Pacific. For those seeking more adventure, guided kayaking through nearby mangroves offers a unique perspective on Costa Rica's diverse ecosystems.

How accessible is Villas Palma Costa, and what's the best way to reach the hotel?

We recommend flying into Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Liberia, which is the most convenient gateway. From there, a scenic drive of about 1.5 to 2 hours, either by rental car or pre-arranged transfer, will bring you directly to the hotel, offering picturesque views along the way.
