Santa Lucia Jungle Hacienda, Costa Rica, Autograph Collection

Santa Lucia Jungle Hacienda, Costa Rica, Autograph Collection sits in the green edge of Carara National Park, where the road gives way to jungle, mountain views, and the slower rhythm of the Pacific side of Costa Rica. This is a 84-room boutique retreat with a colonial-inspired look and a polished Marriott finish, built for travelers who want nature without losing comfort. Rooms range from Deluxe Kings to a Presidential Suite, and the property pairs them with two restaurants, bars, a pool, a spa, a fitness center, and a kids’ club. It feels more like a carefully edited hideout than a conventional resort, with enough structure for easy stays and enough atmosphere to make the setting memorable.
