The individual villas provided wonderful views of the lagoon and ocean. Views from the bathroom was a bonus. Owner/hosts were very friendly and accommodating and directly supported the evening discussions. Room was quite comfortable and basic. Expect to see and hear birds of all descriptions right from your private terrace.

This is a location for nature lovers. It is unique and secluded, right by the edge of the Corcovado reserve. You get to see animals on the daily, and I loved the outside shower, especially in the night, since there is no light pollution you can see the stars clearly.

This is a workimg cacao and vanilla farm using green methods. We took the tour and they pitched it at a high level because we want to use their ideas in Papua new Guinea. Fantastic experience. Romantic. Garden of Eden. While Sand beach nearby deserted tropical paradise but with store nearby for drinks. Lots of birds, monekeys, fruit, plants - wonderful.

A lovely little resort with a large covered area with kitchen, tables, overhead fans, hammocks and BBQ. Plunge pool was great for cooling off after a hot hike. Room was simply furnished, with a wall of open shelves that were perfect for clothes, food or other items. Bathroom is nicely finished. I was especially happy with the large sink with plug where I could easily handwash a few items. This is the kind of place where you can stay for a few days just to unwind and enjoy nature and birds all around you. We had our own car which made it easy to access. Bring all your groceries with you as there is nothing nearby! Kitchen is well stocked with cookware. A little inconvenient to carry non refrigerated food prep items back and forth from our room (about 20 m walk on a gravel path).
Maze Lodge features garden views, free WiFi and free private parking, located in Puerto Jiménez.

You are located right in the jungle! You are on the monkey highway’! So many animals to see right from your deck, three kinks of monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, trogons, hummingbirds and more.
Great beds; screens on the windows as well as fans and good AC. This allows you to have the room open to a nice breeze or the comfort of the AC. Wonderful big shower with plenty of hot water. Large refrigerator with room for ice. Bird tour with Louise was wonderful, they have lots of other tours available and they will pick you up right at Maze Lodge.
The lodge is right next to a Zip Line tour, we didn’t try it, but I’m sure you can get a great deal.

Great prices, breakfast, dinner, and company. The host's good intentions, attention to detail, plus efforts to accommodate and comfort guests were exceptional, i.e. providing maps, bikes and detailed instructions for getting around and shopping. Also, Osa is near a beautiful beach, a walk or bike ride away where visitors can swim and relax. A pleasant restaurant with good prices is nearby the beach. A chocolate factory is also a bike ride away. The host led us to a unique treehouse in a jungle setting rife with birds and monkeys. Internet access, too.

A quiet, under-developed tropical destination, immersed in the rainforest. There is no town per se, just properties immersed in green. Wonderful beaches, no one around for miles. The nearest bar / restaurant is 45 min away by car on a bad road. The nearest store is in Puerto Jimenez. Patchy cell phone reception. Spectacular nature, all around: birds, butterflies, monkeys.

My wife loves Playa Carate, and enjoyed her time at this lodge. (I went along as good hubbie, as nature is not my thing, so these are her views). The cabin we had was rustic but spacious, set in the rain forest and with a great view. 3 types of monkey could be seen,and she reports the birding was very good. We stayed 3 nights, and went to the same spot on the beach each day. Carate is definitely the place to see macaws. My wife also loves its remoteness and isolation.
This is the perfect place for nature lovers looking for some peace and quiet surrounded by gorgeous nature abundant with wildlife! We heard and saw spider monkeys, howlers monkeys. capuchin monkeys, Scarlet Macaws and toucans daily. We also saw tracks of tapirs. Knowing that big cats roam the premises adds even more to the appeal of this wonderful place.
Yes it is a bumpy road to get to Carate but that is a good thing. It keeps the crowds away and the wildlife safer.
Luna Lodge is a beautiful place with an amazing staff. The lodge has a comfortable environment centered around a pool and restaurant/common area that sit comfortably in the forest. Toucans, Scarlet Macaws, and monkeys are frequent visitors and easily viewed.
Great meals with vegetarian/ non-vegetarian options are included with many ingredients grown on site.
We spent 5 days over the Christmas holidays and it was the highlight of our time in Costa Rica.
Very nice setting directly on the beach, very friendly staff, loved the variety in meals, relaxing sound with the waves, private outdoor showers, easy arrangements for guided trips at day or at night, great to encounter the service of bringing our luggage from Carate to the lodge as it is a 3.5km walk on the beach. Good starting point to go into Corcovado NP.
Our stay in Luna Lodge was absolutely the highlight of our trip.
Everything I imagined and more.
Thank you to all for this unique experience.
Thank you Old OSA for accompanying us to the forest…
