Blue Jay Lodge Malpais

Blue Jay Lodge

Nestled at about 200 meters from a laidback, tropical sun kissed beach; Blue Jay Lodge Malpais is encircled by abundant natural beauty and the best beaches one can find in the Nicoya Peninsula. The region’s alluring sunset vista, ideal surfing waters and spectacular Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve is all the more reason people flock to this unpretentious little gem to experience the real Costa Rica charm, minus the frills of the more upper crust eco luxury resorts. Blue Jay Lodge Malpais is a practical, minimalist and neat accommodation option that exudes a quite charm and unruffled simplicity. Located right in the middle of a lush tropical rainforest (that brings visitors up close and personal to authentic jungle experiences such as cries of howler monkeys, spotting nocturnal creatures and sweeping views of the verdant surroundings from the verandas), Blue Jay is as much known for its affable owners as for its comfortable wood cabinas. Add to that a delicious and hearty homemade breakfast along wih attentive hospitality and you’ve got a great vacation retreat combination. This warm family type accommodation is an inspiring change for tourists looking for a more peaceful holiday experience. It offers the right dose of isolation, privacy and an exclusive appeal to help tourists savor a calm and authentic tropical retreat experience.
