 Lapa Rios, Costa Rica

Local Contribution:  69
Guest Experience:  70

Swank bungalows and gourmet cuisine put this property on Conde Nast Traveler’s 2004 Gold List.  Creating a 950 acre reserve, much of it primary rain forest inhabited by monkeys and macaws – and donating profits to environmental and humanitarian causes earned it a spot here (506-735-5130, laparios.com).
