Welcome to Los Nancites Lodge

Casa PLUMA / QUEBRADA • Casa COCO / FLORA • Casa MANGO / PAPAYA

You are staying in the heart of the lodge, in a shared natural environment.
Here, the priority is simple: calm, respect and immersion in the tropical dry forest of Guanacaste.

Our philosophy

Los Nancites is intentionally different. The starting point of our concept. We established the lodge part in 2005.   

We prioritize respect for nature and a real immersion in the tropical ecosystem.

• No routine chemical fumigation
• Respect for the natural environment
• Quiet atmosphere (for neighbors and wildlife)
• No television
• Invitation to slow down and observe

You are in the tropical dry forest ecosystem of coastal Guanacaste — a rare and fragile environment very different from Costa Rica’s rainforests. 

We created our own non profit organizationSAVAGE LANDS. Your stay and all your purchases of Los Nancites or Savage Lands products will help fund our conservation efforts.

How things work + Various services

Lodge spirit, a reforested area where animals have rights too! Enjoy wildlife and keep in mind to give them enough distance and quietness so they feel secure. Also give respect to other guests keeping rest and contemplation always possible. 

Pool : A pool technician comes once per day to remove the main leaves and start the pool system in the morning. He also turns it off in the afternoon.
During the day, light leaf removal can be taken care of by guests using the skimmer provided. In both dry and green seasons, tropical trees naturally shed leaves.

Security : The area is safe and residential. However, as everywhere in Costa Rica, small opportunistic theft can happen.
Please avoid leaving visible items outside or inside vehicles, especially at the beach. Always lock doors and windows when leaving. These simple precautions prevent unnecessary problems.

Supplies : An arrival kit is provided (toilet paper and trash bags). Re-stocking during your stay is your responsibility.

Linen & Laundry : Sheets are changed once per week for longer stays.
Laundry service is available upon request: 15 USD per machine.

Towels : We do not provide beach towels. Please do not use the bath towels for beach or pool as they will be stained by chlorine or salt water.

Vacation rental : This accomodation does not come with a full assistance service. though we are reachable and ready to help, please remember we are not reachable on a 24/7 basis. If you need assistance in your vacation organization, we can put you in touch with an agency service. 

Trash and cleanup : You can find a large trash can outside of the villa. Please throw away your thrash when you leave. We also ask you to leave the house as clean as possible when checking out(do not leave unwashed dishes or food outside).

Internet : Wifi is available on los nancites network. Password Metalforest

Air conditioning, lights & tropical environment

Please use the air conditioning responsibly. Keep doors and windows closed while it is running, and turn it off when are not home. This helps reduce energy consumption and protects the system in a tropical climate. We also ask that you switch off lights, fans and AC when not in use. Electricity production in Costa Rica is largely renewable, but conscious use remains important in a natural environment like this one.

You are staying in a tropical dry forest ecosystem. The occasional presence of ants or small insects is normal, especially if food is left exposed. To minimize this, keep food sealed, avoid leaving crumbs, and dispose of trash regularly.

 

We do not use heavy chemical fumigation, as we prioritize environmental balance. Thank you for embracing the natural setting.

Things to do

Weather you’d like to horseback ride on the beach, explore mangrove on a paddle, get a surf class, go on a riverboat tour searching for wildlife, Go on a sailing trip at sunset…hike a volcano or get a yoga class… Please let us know and we will arrange for you.

Tips and reviews

f you’re enjoying your stay, a positive review truly helps us reach guests who appreciate nature, calm and simplicity.

On most platforms, 5 stars simply mean the listing matched the description and expectations were met. Ratings below 5 are often treated as a problem, even when the stay was good. this can have a real impact on such small businesses as ours.

 

If anything needs improvement, please tell us directly so we can try to fix it immediately. 

Tips are never expected but always appreciated, especially for our local team who maintains the property and gardens.

Your feedback helps us continue improving while staying true to the philosophy of Los Nancites.
