Brunka Lodge — Hotel in Palmar

I went to stay here because at the time we had storm through out Costa Rica and they cancelled my flight, 20 minutes later they called me and told me my flight was back on schedule.||||I went to the office and told the lady i didnt even touch the bed, the toilet was leaking water so my bathroom was a pool and that i was leaving... if i could have atleast some of the money back which she didnt want to give anything back... I do own a hotel and i can tell you i would never do that to a client that just stayed 20 minutes, also i took a couple from Spain and she did the same to them.||||I wouldnt recommend anyone staying here for the poor costumer...

This is the town the bus from San Jose takes you to on your way to Drake Bay. We stopped in this nice one horse town and spent the night before catching the taxi and the 11am boat ride to Drake Bay. As an outsider you are in the minority but rather welcome. There are several lodges here, my wife viewed the options online and after seeing the options we felt we got a great little cottage for the night and for the price $50 with breakfast. Security, clean, pretty little space and pool walking distance to all we needed for the night and morning. I would pick this...

After a rather trying day - flat tire, long journey on dirt roads, etc. - this was a very pleasant surprise. The cabins are modest, but very clean and comfortable. The beds are excellent, and the shower is without doubt the best we have experienced in Costa Rica. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant serves very tasty food at a reasonable price. If you need a place to rest in Palmar Norte, the Brunka Lodge...
