The Beach at Copa de Arbol Beach and Rainforest Resort

"The lodge, steps from the beach, is laid-back luxury with an infinity pool, and run smoothly by super-friendly staff"

"At meal time you leave your shoes at the bottom of a staircase that climbs to the barefoot-only, second-story restaurant with an excellent view of garden, beach, and ocean"

"All accommodations feature thatch roofs with cathedral ceilings and exposed rafters, pillowtop orthopedic mattresses, tile bathrooms (with eco-friendly toiletries) and private balconies overlooking the beach or rainforest — the views are best enjoyed from a swaying hammock"

"For more adventurous couples, there’s nothing hotter than a stay on the jungle beach of Drake Bay at the flashy new Copa de Arbol"
