The plan was to stay in the tent one night, backpack into Corcovado for a few days, and then return for a few days. However, our tour we were looking forward to and had thought we booked months in advance with Osa Wild was not confirmed and they told us that they could not help us. However, the Osa Adventures company that is affiliated with Finca Exotica worked a miracle and got us a guide during the high season. The guide was excellent spotter (and I am a serious birder) and we really appreciated the lodge going out of the way to do something that everyone said could not be done, which was making my dream to go to Corcovado primary forest happen. Laura and Gabi at Finca were especially kind.

In the end we ended up staying in the tent room, a garden room, backpacking, and then coming back to stay in a hilltop room. The tent rooms are cute but lack private space and bathrooms. It would be okay for me for a few days but with another person it was nice to have the other rooms. The garden room has private accommodations. The casa reis room is a real hike up a huge hill but the views are spectacular.

Beyond the beach being directly across the street, a very kind lodge owner, daily evening yoga, great opportunities to see wildlife, and simple/ rustic opportunities to relax, the food at the restaurant was amazing. The chef was fantastic and really impressed this foodie. Every meal was beautifully and artful prepared and delicious and the restaurant was an enjoyable place to spend the evening talking to other guests.

I highly recommend this place if you are comfortable with open air accommodations and want to take some time to look around, turn off your electronics, and think. read less

The location is stunning, right on the beach close to the edge of the Corcovado national park. I stayed in one of the cabins which was very comfortable and I particularly enjoyed the outdoor shower and bathroom.
The staff at the lodge are really friendly and look after the guests very well. All the meals were delicious and flavorful and I especially appreciated the wonderful vegetarian meals that they provided for me. As a solo traveler I particularly enjoyed sharing meals at the communal table with some of the other guests.
I took advantage of many of the activities that were offered, the highlight being the full day hike in Corcovado, and also a sunrise kayak paddle in the nearby lagoon, and a night hike one evening on the property.
But I think my favorite activity was simply relaxing in one of the hammocks on the main deck, reading a book with the sounds of the crashing waves and calls of the birds and monkeys filling my ears. Bliss... read less

Die Unterkunft liegt mitten im Dschungel, umgeben von Palmen, Papageien und anderen Tieren. Die Unterkunft liegt sehr schön, sodass man nicht unbedingt in den Nationalpark muss. Der Strand ist direkt neben an. Die Unterkunft bietet unterschiedliche Aktivitäten an. Den leichten Nature Hike kann man auch gut alleine machen, allerdings lohnt sich der Guide trotzdem, da man mehr Tiere zu Gesicht bekommt, die man sonst übersehen hätte, und man zusätzlich interessante Informationen bekommt. Für den Weg zur Unterkunft benötigt man einen SUV, da man über Schotterwege fahren muss und man den ein oder anderen Bach durchquert. Der Service war super, sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und familiär. read less

Which made me a bit anxious about our experience. When we arrived with the taxi we saw Jose in front of the hotel and he did not even tried to help us with the luggage... he just went straight to the beach. Then we got to the reception and we met Alex. Alex was very nice and he even told us that we got upgraded to a nicer room which we were very happy about!

Our 2 nights were very nice, Coco the chef and Alex made it an unforgettable moment. They were so nice and helpful by giving us tips about everything. On the other side Jose was not very friendly nor seemed interested to interact with guest.

We only were 4 couples in the whole hotel which made it even better and we felt like at home. read less

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
