De tenten en kabines staan in een prachtige exotische tuin. Er is ook een mooi uitzicht dichtbij met een wijds zicht op het strand met oceaan waar je van een prachtige zonsondergang kan genieten. s'Avonds aten alle logees samen in het restaurant waar Marvin de heerlijke gerechten bereidde en uitlegde. Het gaf de gelegenheid om van de ervaringen van anderen te genieten of leren.
Wij hebben geen tours gedaan via de accommodatie maar wel met Osa Wild (in het Corcovado woud). De gids was top! read less

D'abord, ça se mérite: au moins une heure trente de piste, avec plusieurs passages à gué: ça se mérite le paradis (d'autres viendront avec un petit avion...) Ensuite, on se retrouve au beau milieu de la nature comme nulle part ailleurs. On vit dehors, mais avec le confort. La nourriture y est excellente. Il y a des animaux partout, à commencer par des centaines de perroquets arras. On peut aussi entendre et voir les singes hurleurs, dans la forêt épaisse, juste derrière le lodge. Et la ballade vers Corcovado est inoubliable. Ici, on est dans la jungle, la nature reprend ses droits, singes, fourmiller, oiseaux en tout genre, iguanes. Le paradis je vous dis. read less

Le cabine sono molto belle e uniche nel loro genere anche se, soprattutto alcune, raggiungibili in 5-7 minuti di camminata su sentiero in salita. Personale ok. Ristorante (dove si entra a piedi scalzi) serve un solo menu con poca varietà e nessun buffet.
Attenzione: connessione internet quasi inesistente (limitata, ammesso che sia funzionante, alla sola reception;) e segnale cellulare pari a zero... si è davvero isolati.
L’escursione al parco del corcovado andrebbe rivista: molto cara (75Usd) e poco valida... la guida abbastanza brava e gentile (al termine ha offerto la bevanda al cocco). Propongono di percorrere il sentiero di accesso al parco, e solo una parte di sentiero Rio... di fatto perdendosi tutto il bello che viene dopo. Per avere una minima opportunità di avvistare i felini è necessario avere come base di partenza la stazione Sirena a 16 km dalla stazione dei ranger che permette l’accesso al parco...
Attenzione alla strada di accesso da Puerto Jimenez a Carate... completamente sterrata con diversi guadi da passare... è molto impegnativa e adatta solo ad essere percorsa con un fuori strada 4x4. read less

The meals, the hikes, the massage and the dinner conversations fed the soul and body in such a special way. AND the hammocks rocked you gently as you absorbed the beauty all around you as you relaxed and took it all in! Loved it all! read less

We stayed in the Rancho luxury suite which is a work of art and allows for a birds eye view on the rainforest. Do yourself a favor and reconnect with real life at Finca Exotica. read less

But my stay at Finca Exotica exceeded my expectations! An amazing experience all around.

What made it so amazing:
1) The wildlife. We spotted 25 types of birds, numerous monkeys and a tayra just on the drive to the resort alone. (Driver Andy is amazing!) And we saw even more at the lodge, whether it was watching the scarlet macaw every day from the dining room, hearing the squirrel monkeys from my outdoor shower, spotting the countless common basilisk around the property, or seeing ALL of the things with naturalist Laura in Corcovado. Even on a 20 minute “hike” to the sunset viewpoint I spotted a family of 12 spider monkeys, tayra, and lizards. You get my drift...
2) The people. By the end of my 5 days, I really felt like I was staying with friends. The staff knew our names and would chat when we crossed paths during the day and during happy hour/dinner when everyone (staff/guest) was around. In fact, I really looked forward to 6 PM happy hour to get a fresh fruit cocktail and chat with the bartender and fellow guests about anything and everything! The staff were especially lovely to a 5-year-old guest and made her special dishes to her request. And nearly the full set of guests had dinner together every day, which was lovely, especially as a solo traveler!
3) The in-house naturalist - Laura deserves a special shout out for leading fantastic tours of Corcovado National Park and kayaking nearby. She has eagle-eyes for spotting birds and mammals - in some cases, seeing things other guides don’t - and is really enjoyable company for the entire experience.
4) The beach - We had 4-10 guests my week during Green Season, so I typically had the beach completely to myself! Got to choose whichever hammock I liked :)
5) The cabin - They generously upgraded me to the Bamboo Cabin, which was wonderful! It was right near the paths to the lodge and the beach, yet felt very private. And was spacious and comfortable with everything that I could want.
6) The food - I had no idea that I’d enjoy delicious 3-course dinners at an Ecolodge! Marvin and Coco did amazing things with local items - I’m still thinking about the fish we had one evening. I love cooking and food, and delighted in the presentation and flavors every time.

In case it’s not abundantly clear, I’d highly recommend Finca Exotica. Many thanks to the staff for an amazing experience! read less

I recommend coming to do a detox, or a reset because there are few places left in this world where you can truly unplug and get away like the Osa. The manager Jose took the time to show me around and made sure I had everything I needed. I did a massage session with him and it was incredible. Marvin the chef prepares the healthiest and BEST meals. You will be SO full. I loved the dining experience each night and the family-style table where we all got to know each other. Sleeping in the jungle was an incredible experience---if not a little scary at times but by the end I felt at home with the animals and jungle sounds! read less

The staff was kind, caring, accommodating and helpful. We felt at home during our entire stay. The food was off the charts fresh and delicious. Our cabin was perched high on a hillside overlooking the jungle and the sea. Birds everywhere including Scarlet Macaws! A simply magical place. We’d return in a heartbeat. read less

(Marvin was our chef.) Take a hike through Corcovado with Laura. You won't even mind the cold showers or the lack of AC. Trust me. But if you require those things, this is not the place for you. The views from our bungalow were amazing Casa Raiz). It was a little high up on the hill, so a bit of a trek to get there. But you'll see great views and lots of birds. They also have bungalows lowere down, less of a trek. read less

Our guide was knowledgeable and could spot birds and animals where the average tourist (us) could not. Would definitely go back. Keep in mind that if you are a person who prefers to enjoy 4 and 5 star upper end hotel and resort locations, this may not be a place you would get full enjoyment from. read less
