The hotel La Cusinga lodge is one of nine hotels of Costa Rica chosen to be part of GREEN PLACES TO STAY, published by ALASTAIR SAWDAY'S. It is a new publication that has the best and TRUE ecolodges (and destinations) of the world.

   It is a great honor to see that all our efforts have been rewarded. The hotel La Cusinga Lodge is a family that have lived in harmony with nature for more than 34 years, and the hotel is a reflection of our life style.
   
   The following is an abstract from the book:
   
   This unusual new book encourages many worthwhile people and projects, and adds a dimension that can only add to your pleasure. To stay in a hotel that makes imaginative efforts to reduce its impact on the environment is like meeting an interesting and worthwhile fellow-traveller. Who would choose to swim in an oil-heated pool if there was a solar-heated alternative? To eat imported food if the local food was equally delicious? To stay in a hotel that ill-treated its staff if another, nearby, belonged to the community? Each of those alternatives, when chosen, adds something special to a holiday.
