Nantipa embodies Costa Rica’s characteristic range in eco-system, capturing the unification of beaches and rainforests, as it sits peacefully between green and blue.

To help satisfy your Costa Rica bucket list, the hotel provides personal concierges to guide your choice of available crafted tours and experiences. Whether you crave a journey through the nearby Cabo Blanco National Park or a thrilling zipline across Montezuma Waterfalls, Nantipa encourages you to release your adventurous side.
You will quickly become familiar with Hotel Nantipa’s dedication to the flourishment of Nicoya’s stunning biodiversity and natural beauty. Mankind unites with the natural world here, as Nantipa even played a part in the introduction of Macaws to the local ecosystem.
