Almonds and Corals Hotel

Follow the boardwalk from rainforest to beach

Screened bungalows on stilts and wooden plank walkways give Almonds and Corals its distinctive place in the rainforest of Manzanillo. The lodge brings together a safari-camp atmosphere and an eco-conscious boutique stay on Costa Rica’s Southern Caribbean coast. Below the accommodation lies the damp forest floor; within the property, a short walk leads to the beach. Forest and shore both belong to the experience of being here.

A day between two landscapes

Follow the walkways, take time on the beach with a book, or choose a massage at the Jungle Spa. The property’s hiking trails offer another way to spend time outdoors without first arranging a full excursion. A restaurant and bar keep meals and evenings close, giving you room for a day that moves between exploring and doing very little at all.

When you want more movement, kayaks, bicycles, snorkeling equipment and boogie boards are available to rent. Wireless internet and laundry service add practical support to a longer stay, while mini-refrigerators and a conference room are among the other facilities. These everyday conveniences sit alongside the more distinctive pleasures of the lodge: forest walkways, a spa treatment and an afternoon on the Caribbean shore.

Safari-style suites and different comforts

The Suite with Jacuzzi is a tent-style pavilion with canopy beds, an en-suite bathroom, a safari outdoor shower, Jacuzzi tub, hammock seating area and minibar. A palm-roof Master Suite brings a different expression of rustic luxury, with the same canopy-bed, outdoor-shower, Jacuzzi and hammock theme. Those features make choosing accommodation part of choosing the experience itself.

Deluxe room choices have a different arrangement, with air conditioning and jungle views. Select the exact category around the comforts that matter to you, and confirm a Jacuzzi or outdoor shower if either is central to the stay you have in mind. Room styles and facilities vary; the safari character does not mean every room is equipped alike.

Discover more of the Southern Caribbean

A guided hike in Cahuita National Park followed by snorkeling offers two perspectives on the region: the rainforest and the underwater world. The Puerto Viejo area also has birdwatching, ATV jungle safaris, canopy ziplining and horseback riding, while a visit to an indigenous Bri Bri village or a day tour to Bocas del Toro in Panama adds a different direction to your plans.

Dolphin-watching outings, native fishing, offshore sport fishing, rafting and diving are further options to arrange around your interests. Wildlife encounters depend on the day. Enjoy the variety, then keep time for the calmer side of Almonds and Corals—an evening at the lodge and the prospect of another morning among the forest and beach.

Rainforest comforts and Caribbean choices

• Screened rainforest bungalows on stilts and wooden plank walkways make the forest central to the experience. This is an appealing choice for travelers drawn to safari-style lodging rather than a conventional enclosed hotel room.
• A short walk within the property reaches the beach, letting you combine jungle surroundings with time on the Caribbean shore. The stay offers both settings without needing every beach visit to become a separate outing.
• The Jungle Spa and massage service provide a restful counterpoint to active days. A restaurant and bar keep meals and evenings close, so there is reason to leave part of your itinerary unplanned.
• Kayaks, bicycles, snorkeling equipment and boogie boards are available to rent. Choose them for a more active day and account for the rental terms instead of treating them as included equipment.
• Hiking trails give you an on-property option, while Cahuita, Bri Bri cultural visits, Bocas del Toro, fishing and other excursions widen the possibilities. Outings are choices to arrange, not promises of wildlife sightings or automatic room inclusions.
• For a safari-style suite experience, canopy beds, outdoor showers, Jacuzzi facilities and hammock seating give the Suite with Jacuzzi and palm-roof Master Suite their character. Deluxe options offer air conditioning and jungle views; select your exact category for the comforts that matter most.
• Wireless internet, laundry service and mini-refrigerators provide familiar conveniences alongside the forest-and-beach setting. They support a longer stay without changing the lodge’s serene, nature-focused appeal.
• A conference room adds a practical reason for a group to consider the lodge. Discuss the arrangements for your group, while leaving time for the beach, trails and spa alongside the purpose of your visit.
