Playa Dantita Room – Pitaya Lodge, Potrero
Hotel Room with A/C Sleeps 4

The Playa Dantita Room at Pitaya Lodge is an eminently affordable hotel option in Potrero, with two double beds, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, a desk, a mini-refrigerator and a bathroom with hot shower.

The room looks out on the swimming pool, which is surrounded by tropical gardens. There are tables and chairs to lounge by the pool, as well as a barbecue area.

The Pitaya Lodge is a walled property offering the added security of gated parking.  It is also completely surrounded by green space, with a small stream in back. Monkeys and tropical birds are among the frequent visitors.

It’s a short walk from here to a mini-market, and if you rent a car you will have a range of amazing places to explore. This coastal region, known for the towns of Brasilito, Flamingo, Surfside and Potrero, is home to a string of stunning beaches, including Conchal, Flamingo, Potrero, Penca, Pan de Azúcar, Danta and Dantita.

Check-in time is between 2 and 6 p.m., but if you arrive late and you’ve prepaid, we’ll leave a key in a lockbox. Otherwise, there’ll be a late check-in fee of $10.

Venturing Out from Your Playa Dantita Room

The Pitaya Lodge is located in Potrero, a charming coastal village with a traditional downtown plaza with soccer field. It has multiple restaurants, bars and shops, as well as close access to three beaches (Potrero, Penca and Prieta).

Further south, the expat haven of Surfside offers even more options for dining, nightlife and shopping. In fact, whether you drive north or south along the small coastal highway, you’ll be on one of the most picturesque roads in all of Costa Rica, and there’s plenty to see and do on all sides.

Your Playa Dantita Room is roughly an hour from the international airport in Liberia, and anything you need can be found nearby, including grocery stores, pharmacies, medical clinics, gas stations and banks.

Whatever you do, don’t come to this region without booking at least one adventure tour. You can go fishing, diving or sailing, or take a sunset cruise with an open bar and snorkeling. Rent ATVs or mountain bikes and explore the trails in the hills above Potrero.

Within a day trip of here, you can visit an active volcano at Rincón de la Vieja Volcano National Park, which is often called Costa Rica’s Yellowstone. Attractions there include hot springs, mud baths, horseback riding, ziplining, canyoning and whitewater tubing.

There’s also a turtle nesting beach at Las Baulas Marine National Park, where you can sometimes see leatherback turtles laying eggs on the beach, and sometimes newborn hatchlings waddling toward the surf.

The Playa Dantita room of the Pitaya Lodge is perfect for up to four people who want to save some money on lodging and spend it on exploring everything this fabulous coast has to offer.
