Experience
At Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality, we try to create unique and memorable experiences.
We want guests who stay at our properties to have experiences that they cannot find at a typical luxurious hotel. We want these experiences to be unique and hands-on, allowing guests to utilize all five of their senses and to immerse themselves completely in a moment that they will never forget.
Examples of unforgettable experiences at our hotels include:
Watching white-faced capuchin monkeys swing through the trees while eating breakfast in El Mirador in Arenas del Mar Beach and Nature Resort.
- Surfing at sunset on Guiones Beach in front of the Harmony Hotel in Nosara.
- Waking up to the sounds of howler monkeys in one of Lapa Rios Ecolodge´s private, secluded bungalows.
- Wandering through Finca Rosa Blanca´s organic coffee plantations as the aroma of fresh, organic coffee lingers in the air.
LEARN
The idea of learning new things, as well as exposing oneself to new ideas and experiences, are integral to our philosophy at Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality.
We want guests who stay at our properties to truly immerse themselves in something new and different. We hope that guests walk away from their stays feeling as though they have truly gained something of value that they can share with their loved ones once they arrive back home.
Examples of learning experiences at our properties include:
- Making a corn tortillas with a local señora at Areans del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort.
- Learning how to perfect one’s downward dog during a morning yoga class at the Harmony Hotel.
- Taking advantage of Lapa Rios’ Pigs, Twigs and Garbage tour, where guests can learn how they can incorporate elements of sustainability into their personal lives.
- Learning professional organic coffee agriculture and roasting techniques at Finca Rosa Blanca.
CONNECT
At Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality, we believe that travel should include strong and meaningful connections.
We want the guests who stay at our properties to feel a personal connection with our employees, members of the local communities where our hotels are located, as well as local culture and customs.
Examples of these kinds of experiences include:
- Joining locals for an afternoon mejenga during low tide at the Harmony Hotel.
- Visiting the Carbonera School and exchanging games, songs and smiles with local children at Lapa Rios Ecolodge.
- Spending a few hours with the resident guide hiking in the rainforest and discussing environmental issues at Arenas del Mar.
- Horseback riding through the coffee plantations of Finca Rosa Blanca with a local neighbor who, while not being able to speak a word of English, manages to convey a sense of place and culture.
RELAX
We at Cayuga Sustainable Hospitality believe that allowing our guests, employees and hotel owners the privilege to relax and unwind completely is key to success.
We want our guests to be able to relax and decompress while staying at our properties.
Examples of these types of experiences include:
- Lounging in a swinging chair while sipping a fruit smoothie in the Juice Bar at the Harmony Hotel.
- Unwinding completely in a private jacuzzi while admiring the crystal clear waters of the Pacific Ocean surrounding Arenas del Mar Beach and Nature Resort.
- Sleeping in a private hammock after a rainforest hike in Lapa Rios Ecolodge.
- Getting wrapped in exotic volcanic mud or coffee body scrub in the elegant but intimate spa of Finca Rosa Blanca.
