Had such a lovely stay here. The perfect place to relax and view the incredible Osa peninsula. The pool was magic! The food was also delicious (and is included). We even had a little plunge pool. Staff all lovely.

Everything was simply spectacular: the whole staff is always keen to help and make you feel at home, starting from Lana, the incredible owner of the lodge; the food is local, fresh and delicious; there is a whole range of activities that Lana organize - we even had the opportunity to participate to a Cacao ceremony that was quite an experience. You could literally spend from few days to few months in that lodge as you will always feel at home. The view of the yoga place is spectacular. Just keep in mind that the road to get there requires 4W car and a really expert driver, so if you don’t feel confident, is a good option to accept the lift from the lodge.

Filipe and his family were the most gracious hosts imaginable. Extremely welcoming and very knowledgable on the local flora/ fauna. The place is far away from the nearest town, which is great if you want to switch off from the day to day life.

I had a great time, you are in the middle of nature with so many animals, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped, the trails are well marked, also if they have any fruits on the trees you are free to have them and they are very yummy!

To say this place is special is an understatement, it is a phenomenal experience to stay here and hard to put into words why. The lodges are set in the middle of the forest with no lodge in sight of another. Literally feet from our veranda we had a family of monkeys swinging in the trees. There are dozens of species of birds just around you. It has been created so that the natural environment hasn’t been disturbed in anyway. The 3 course dinner served was probably the best we have had in our 4 weeks in CR and all for $24. Our tour guide Juan was brilliant, so knowledgeable and interesting. It was the best night tour we have done, way better than Monteverde. The staff are so professional and attentive too.

Such an amazing, one of a kind experience! Pure jungle Life! We had such a good time here and out Hosts Liz, Danger, Allison were so helpful and kind. They know a Person for everything and can help you set up some amazing tours. We did a night hike in the Jungle and it was one of the coolest things we ever did. It was a pleasure to stay here and get to know the Jungle Lifestyle.

We really enjoyed our stay at here.  It's a lovely peaceful spot. With everything you need for a relaxing stay in the jungle. The rooms are lovely, open to the outdoors so you are surrounded by nature. The kitchen has all u need for cooking and there is an option of breakfast provided. We got good advice from Gewndal and Negar on what to do in the area. Truly a lovely experience

    A quiet, under-developed tropical destination, immersed in the rainforest. There is no town per se, just properties immersed in green. Wonderful beaches, no one around for miles. The nearest bar / restaurant is 45 min away by car on a bad road. The nearest store is in Puerto Jimenez. Patchy cell phone reception. Spectacular nature, all around: birds, butterflies, monkeys.

    My wife loves Playa Carate, and enjoyed her time at this lodge. (I went along as good hubbie, as nature is not my thing, so these are her views). The cabin we had was rustic but spacious, set in the rain forest and with a great view. 3 types of monkey could be seen,and she reports the birding was very good. We stayed 3 nights, and went to the same spot on the beach each day. Carate is definitely the place to see macaws. My wife also loves its remoteness and isolation.

    This is the perfect place for nature lovers looking for some peace and quiet surrounded by gorgeous nature abundant with wildlife! We heard and saw spider monkeys, howlers monkeys. capuchin monkeys, Scarlet Macaws and toucans daily. We also saw tracks of tapirs. Knowing that big cats roam the premises adds even more to the appeal of this wonderful place. Yes it is a bumpy road to get to Carate but that is a good thing. It keeps the crowds away and the wildlife safer.

    Very warm and inviting. Staff knowledgeable and helpful. Good guides and a long list of activities for purchase. Probably best food in Carate and ranks among the best prepared "lodge" meals I've had anywhere.
