Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge

I was sad this morning not to be rising with the sun, while listening to the tropical birds and howler monkeys greeting the morning. I just returned from a visit to Bosque with my daughters (ages 18 and 20). We all loved our time there so much. The lush property overlooking the ocean is so beautiful, the nature amazing, the food delicious (and 10 stars for accommodating our food allergies!) The activities that can be arranged for you are so fun. Some take place on the property (zip lining, tree climbing and repelling, night nature hike are some) and some are off property (horseback riding, surfing, catamaran). Everyone there from the owners to the staff to the guides are sweet and willing to help with whatever you need. If you want a rainforest experience, this has everything!!

This was our second trip to Bosque del Cabo, and it was just as wonderful the second time as it was two years ago. Bosque has a fantastic location - it is beautiful, remote, peaceful, pristine, and full of wildlife. We had monkeys hanging around the trees right outside our cabina. The walking trails are extensive, and there is something interesting to see no matter which one you take. Two of the trails lead down to almost deserted beaches where you can cool off in the water. The staff at Bosque are so kind and attentive. It is hard to say goodbye to them when you leave. The food is excellent - try the banana pancakes for breakfast, the tuna melt sandwich, the curry chicken papaya sandwich, and the avocado sandwich for lunch. The drinks at the bar are always good - plenty strong and reasonably priced. We love the fact that at Bosque, you spend so much time outdoors. The dining area is open-air, the private showers are outside, and you can sleep with your cabina doors wide open if you like. It is like luxury camping. I cannot wait to return!

There are vacations, and then there are vacations. This place is about as unique as they come. A few things to be aware of. First the drive from the Airport is a 7 hour drive. Be prepared for that. Once you arrive to the climb in the mountains, it can be rough. Be sure to rent the right vehicle for that. It can be a challenge to find it in the dark. Once there, it’s an absolute paradise. I stayed in the upgraded house Casa Cocoa which is absolute paradise. It has the most unbelievable view of the pacific, with the Forrest and plenty wildlife constantly from monkeys to birds, parrots, sloths , humming birds etc. The food is healthy and delicious and the staff is amazing. I can’t recommend it enough. The challenging drive and climb is well worth this experience and I would rate this vacation one of the best of my life. Go!

I recently visited Bosque del Cabo Rainforest Lodge with four friends, and it was truly unforgettable. We stayed in Casa Miramar, which was gorgeous – spacious, open to the rainforest, and offering stunning views of the ocean. Phil and Kim were amazing hosts and took such great care of us. Their love for the place shines through in every detail, from the beautiful trails to the delicious food and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Waking up to howler monkeys and watching macaws fly by from our deck felt like a dream. This place is perfect for anyone wanting to unplug and experience nature in comfort. We can’t wait to come back! - James

This is a special, Fabulous place, lots of animals on the property. Well-maintained, beautiful grounds. The owner and everyone on the staff are friendly, welcoming and fun. We felt totally at home, hiked numerous trails on the property, walked along 4 beaches, went swimming at Playa Pan Dulce. We enjoyed our guided morning bird tour with Carlos. Massage and yoga were awesome. Food was delicious. We lived our dolphin trip with Kaliman on a Catamaran - tons of dolphin and also had a chance to paddleboard and swim. It was all wonderful.

We absolutely LOVE Bosque Del Cabo. We travel a lot, both in Costa Rica and worldwide, and honestly this is one of our favorite eco-lodges in the whole world. It is the perfect combination of elegance and rainforest. The grounds and trails are teeming with animals. We saw three species of monkeys (howler, spider and capuchin), toucans, macaws, coatis and even a sloth. Our bungalow had the most gorgeous ocean view - it was absolute paradise! The food was not only gourmet but also healthy and organic. And the staff is super friendly. We will be back for sure!
