The Accommodations
The Lookout Inn offers several accommodations to fit your taste and budget:The Lookout Rooms The guest rooms each have their own spacious bathroom, hot water shower, and fan. The tile floors and baths add a luxurious touch. The custom made doors are uniquely carved by a local craftsman and a creative artist has done some lovely mural work on the insides of the rooms. The furniture, which includes armoires, tables, chairs, and queen sized beds are a mix of bamboo, wicker, and indigenous woods. The rooms are kept cool and quiet by the concrete construction, 10 foot high ceilings, and lack of direct sunlight. The Lookout Private Cabins The private guest cabinas each have a bathroom with hot water, private balconies and hammocks. There are paths to the beach, pool & house. Use of wood throughout the cabinas give a sense of warmth yet the open air style allows the cooling effect of the ocean breezes to waft though the cabinas. The furniture, which includes armoires, tables, chairs, and queen sized beds are a mix of bamboo, wicker, and indigenous woods. The Lookout Master Suite The master suite is larger than the normal rooms, is on the main deck with great views and hammocks in front overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It has a huge cement tub with shower and 2 sinks, along with netting over the bed, fan & lights, a wonderful room for honeymooners. The Lookout Tiki Huts These open air A-Frame Tiki Huts are 10 feet off the ground, giving you a tree house feeling, on a living hillside. Each hut has a queen bed, table and chairs, fan, lights and netting surrounding your bed. Staying with our eco-friendly philosphy, solar will power the fan & lights. You are surrounded by a colorful garden mixed with orchids, flowers, banana and fruit trees, jungle growth, giant Joba trees full of Iguanas and scarlet macaws. Enjoy the walk from the bottom deck onto the boardwalk winding around trees and garden area, down a few steps to your private entrance. This walkway rolls through the hilly garden to the horse corral, to the beach and also passes a hammock and chair platform high above, a perfect place for yoga or just waiting for that Kodak moment. The two Tiki huts are separate cabins completely out of view from the other with a central bathhouse in the middle. This wild bathhouse is very private for the guests but exposed to the animal kingdom with the open front facing the ocean and the jungle life; it?s the greatest shower you?ll take. If you?re wanting to be ?one? with nature, you can?t get much closer than this. The Lookout Inn Grounds Lush tropical gardens The grounds of the Lookout Inn are surrounded by beautifully manicured flowering hibiscus which create trails from the roaring Pacific Ocean to the cool fresh water swimming pool and wooden staircase that takes you up to the most spectacular ocean views you'll see in the area. While enjoying a cool drink and a dip in the pool you can feast your eyes on the creative landscaping that includes a variety of flowers, fruit trees, amazing bird life and more. Perched on the side of a steep hill right above the road and expansive beach, the inn commands an absolutely Spectacular View of the surrounding rain forest, endless coast line and of course, the majestic Pacific Ocean. The property covers 11 acres, peaking on top of it's own ridge high above the ocean. The structure is a combination of American Southwest and Tropical, with stucco walls featuring arched doorways and windows complete with tropical hardwood trimmings and accents. Sandalwood plays an important part in the aesthetics. You don't ever have to rough it here if you don't want to. A solar power system supplies plenty of power for lights, fans and 110 volt outlets. A satellite telephone is also available for your convenience. The cascading hot tub overlooks the flora and sea The second story has the kitchen, covered deck, lounging room with stereo and a large library specializing in natural history and Costa Rica in particular. An artistically crafted spiral staircase in the kitchen leads to the open-air observation deck where the breathtaking vista can be zoomed in on using a high powered telescope. There is also an observation bar here as well as under-roof seating for your dining pleasure. Part of the deck is open to the sun and all is surrounded by a beautiful balustrade of natural driftwood. Recent new additions to the Lookout Inn include a spacious deck in front of the guest rooms for lounging or candlelit dining, a massive wooden staircase that spans from the new deck down to the gardens and beach below, a spacious private bungalow separate from the main house, and a cascading hot tub.
