This was an amazing experience. They are situated in the jungle, surrounded by native animals and birds with some black sand in the surrounding area. The food was outstanding and the staff were all available and friendly. If you want to get into nature, this is the place for you.

This is an exceptional place to visit and stay. First, the wildlife is incredible; we saw sloth, toucans, hummingbirds, coatis, pecaris ,an abundance of birds and so much more (even a dolphin and whale). The resort itself is exceptional; clean, well maintained, truly and genuinely eco, incredible food (standout!) and amazing service. Every member of staff goes above and beyond to make your stay exceptional. We can’t praise this place enough. We also enjoyed the spa and the many tours we took (almost all of them). A place and trip not to be missed. Flawless and wonderful. On a more practical note, you have everything you need in the room (we stayed in the main house) in terms of amenities. While there is no gym, running to and from the pier is possible and there are two yoga decks to enable you to do your own workout, plus a lovely hike to the waterfall. But you’ll be very busy with the great trips on offer!

Amazing location at edge of water. Rich in wildlife; dolphins, spider monkeys, crocodiles and so many birds. Adrian was the best guide on all our travels around Costa Rica; passionate and knowledgeable. Food top quality; delicate and delicious. Great service, with Keilyn and Kenneth standout stars at the restaurant.

It has been a couple of days full of great service. The people (staff) makes you feel like home, they learn your name, spoil one in everyway. Take the chance for a Spa session, won't regret it. And ask for experiences around the area, simply the best.

I chose this specific destination for a surprise 40th birthday trip for my husband and I, with a very clear idea of the type of experience I wanted us to have. The Playa Cativo FAR EXCEEDED my already high expectations. From the moment our feet hit the ground from the plane, every single detail was accounted for to make our trip luxurious, adventurous, relaxing, & amazing! The food is incredible, prepared fresh with most all ingredients grown on site or sourced locally, the rooms (and entire resort) are spotless clean and luxurious. We loved all of the privacy - from having your own casita/bungalow to being completely surrounded by rainforest AND ocean, to the small number of maximum guests, 1-on-1 excursions, etc. We kayaked, snorkeled, hiked, it’s was all truly amazing!! Also, the staff are incredible - so friendly and attentive to every detail! Make Playa Cativo a MUST GO for your next adventure

The culinary experience at the establishment was truly exceptional. The harmonious combinations of flavors, textures, and beverages provided a multisensory journey. My personal preference was the octopus dish. Although I typically do not indulge in desserts, I found myself captivated by the unique ice creams and flans offered. The accommodations exhibited a vintage aesthetic, reminiscent of a classic ship, creating an immersive and nostalgic ambiance. Marcella's expertise and the spa experience were both highly commendable. I wholeheartedly endorse Playa Cativo Lodge as an exceptional choice for discerning travelers seeking an unforgettable sojourn. Kenneth's assistance was instrumental in ensuring a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable stay.

I was amazed from the moment I came down the boat and saw the most fantastic view of the rainforest just a few meters away, and the welcoming smiles of the staff were from the first time until the very sad farewell never extinguished, The rooms are an adventure luxurious fantasy, I had one of the best sleeps ever listening to the sea and sound of the forest. Kudos to the chef, I looked forward to every single meal, it was fresh and tasteful. Truly delicious.

Experiencia única, una propiedad realmente comprometida con el medio ambiente sin prescindir del lujo. Sin duda, el personal de lo más profesional y amable. Una joya escondida de la zona, tanto por las actividades como por las experiencias, es mucho más recomendable hospedarse más de 3 días.
