Lapa Rios 2003, 2004, 2008 Certificate for Sustainable Tourism 5 Leaf Award Winner

About the Certificate for Sustainable Tourism For many years, Lapa Rios has been a great supporter of the ICT's Certification for Sustainable Tourism (CST) program in Costa Rica. The program evaluates a property's sustainability level by awarding one to five leaves as awards. When the hotel was evaluated first in 2001 Lapa Rios received a four out of five leaf ranking. Back then, no hotel qualified for the maximum five leaf award. In August 2003, the hotel was reevaluated and in October 2003, as the first hotel in Costa Rica, was upgraded to the five leaf level.

We are proud to continuously show our committement to conservation and sustainability and invite you to learn more abou the CST at here.
