Cabinas Jimenez ★★

"I felt like I was part of the family. While staying at Cabinas Jimenez I went fishing, birding, whale watching, biking, paddle boarding, hiking and read a couple of books. On my first day I saw a whale from my room. The next day I went paddle boarding from Cabinas and saw a whale and a baby. The next day I followed seven whales across the gulf on my paddle board! Scarlet Macaws and toucans are easy to find, not to mention sea turtles and dolphins. This is just an unbelievable place! The staff don't feel like staff, they feel like friends. The owner and the rest of the team do whatever they can to make sure you are having a pleasant experience. There is a million dollar view from the room. The room is very clean and well stocked with everything I needed to make my own meals. The boat tour from Cabinas was unmatched with anything I have ever done on the water. It is very convenient to walk or bike to town including a well stocked grocery store and many restaurants. This was such a wonderful experience it will be so hard to leave. The good news is I am sure to come back!"

Botanika Osa Peninsula, Curio Collection by Hilton ★★★★

"Very nice resort with high quality equipment. Very nice are also the pool and the pool bar. Super we also found the fitness area. Very large and excellently equipped. We found it not so nice that there was little daylight in our room (standard room in the ground floor) and the restaurant. At breakfast and dinner were not all the options good. The staff at the restaurant was very overloaded at times of impact. Consequently, lack of coordination and long waiting times. However, they were always very friendly. We would always be asked proactively for allergies, but the answer (no wheat) to it was always ignored and not taken into account at any time. A frechness was the breakfast to go, when we had to go before breakfast: a untoasted flavorless toast bread and a apple for say and write 15 USD. That's not possible! What has disturbed us very much is the hotel's client, or at least part of it that is most negative: larger groups of Americans, for holidays is equal to a collective beauty. These groups were always very noisy at the pool and restaurant accordingly. That has made the relaxation partly impossible."

Terrazas del Golfo ★★★

Maze Lodge ★★★

"This was an excellent lodge to stay at. The host had everything organized for us as soon as we arrived, including groceries delivered to our bungalow. The bungalow was clean and had working AC. The host also helped us plan all our excursions, along with transport to and from. We recommend the canopy tour, which is on a neighboring property, and we saw plenty of monkeys and birds. Also, would recommend the Sirena tour, which leaves from the dock in the town (need transportation there). Our guide was excellent. Our favorite by far was the Golfo Dulce boat tour. We opted for a private tour with Josh, and we were so amazed. He had snacks and took us to all the hotspots in the area. We saw a huge pod of dolphins and sea turtles, got to fish (catch-and-release), and went snorkeling. It was an amazing trip; he and his captain were excellent hosts. In summary, we would highly recommend this lodge. It was quiet and serene. We went in April, which was still dry season, and got no rain at all (and pretty minimal bugs for a rain forest). You may want a 4x4 vehicle if you are driving yourself (the road to the lodge is 10-15 minutes of bumpy, unfinished road off their main street)."

Corcovado Beach Lodge ★★

"We had the feeling of disturbing when we arrived, the questions were wrong. The owner is a smart pleasure to terrorize his clients with anxious stories and has a lot of trouble to spend your stay. If you want a safe place, I do not recommend. "

Iguana Lodge Beach Resort and Spa ★★★

Cabinas Manawada ★★

"Very nice rooms and dinning area. Some of the rooms don't' have air conditioning but fans are provided. The food was amazing!! We were feed three delicious meals a day! Elena was the lady in charge and she was super sweet! Would stay there again! It was also right across the street from the bodega if you needed anything for your stay."

Corcovado Private Villas ★★★

"Everything is dated, poorly furnished, no room service, and only one towel. The whirlpool in the honeymoon suite was partially broken, and there was no water or coffee/tea in the room. Breakfast was sometimes 1 km away from the villas. The food and drinks were the worst we've had so far on our multi-week tour. Although the location is magnificent, we wouldn't recommend it and hope the place gets renovated, as the location deserves it. P.S.: The very heavy gate at the entrance must be operated manually by guests."

Ventanas en Corcovado ★★

"I am writing this review at the hotel, watching water vapour rise off the trees, and many colourful birds in the wild and beautiful garden. The hotel used to be a conservation centre, and you can see why. Rosi, has just made me a hearty and delicious breakfast to set me up for the day. Where Brian (Rosi’s son) will be taking me on a local guided trek of the rainforest. I then embark on a chocolate tour, organised for me by Carlos (Rosi’s husband), who has been incredibly welcoming. Their enthusiasm for birds and nature is infectious! The treks, guides and local knowledge is second to none. A truly remarkable stay, would recommend to anyone wanting to switch off, relax and be surrounded by natural beauty. Pura Vida"
