We have booked two rooms, so we ended having whole house with kitchen and a terrace for us. Carlos can also pick you from the port at Puerto Jimenez as the lodge is located just few steps away for the Tiger trail. It's so close to Corcovado NP that sometimes you just don't to go to the park, as the animals come to your porch!

Nueva Vida Birding Paradise is located in Puerto Jiménez and features a pool with a view and mountain views. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi.

Lovely quiet and private location with plenty of special birds in the grounds (Bronzy Hermit and Striped cuckoo) and within a few mins walk. The owner Lily was extremely friendly and helpful throughout our 3 day stay and was flexible with breakfast (which was great!) to allow us to go out birding early. The room was clean and spacious with 2 double beds and there was a pleasant kitchen/dining area that we could use.

Templo del Tigre in Dos Brazos provides accommodation with an open-air bath and a garden. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi.

Such an amazing place, clean, tidy and well kept, surrounded by intense spectacular jungle and wildlife. The most beautiful river a few hundred feet away from the property is perfect for cooling off in and enjoying a revitalising start to the day. There are so many places to see in the surrounding area, with a choice of walks that can test and experienced hiker or let you take in the breathtaking surroundings at a mellow pace. The rooms are super clean and allow you to feel surrounded by the jungle yet give you large, uncluttered and clean personal space. I was made to feel so welcome by the staff and volunteers. The two owners were so interesting, genuine and kind, they really care about your experience, Both of them were so helpful and arranged trips and excursions from Dos Bravos (the town) as well as imparting their experiences of places in the country. Honestly I'm still blown away by my time at Templo Del Tigre, the rich jungle, sunny weather with the occasional tropical down pour, the wildlife, jungle sounds, gold miners and such a beautiful and relaxing place to stay and experience one of the most bio diverse places on the planet. Could not recommend this place more highly.

Providing garden views, Los Mineros Guesthouse in Dos Brazos offers accommodation, an open-air bath and a garden. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay.

Suzanne, the host, is very nice, helpful and communicates in several languages. She sent us excellent directions by text message so we wouldn't get lost following her GPS suggestions. Her husband Channy was our tour guide, who is not only very nice but is actually a native of the jungle. He knows all about the local wildlife and tailored a tour for us that would make us maximally happy...and beyond. The accommodation is not up to my usual European standard of comfort, but no insects or lizards came into the room at night. So I would recommend to everyone that after a refreshing shower you just close your eyes and enjoy the sounds of the jungle. I feel that our trip to Costa Rica was crowned by Channy's fantastic tour!!!

Comprising an open-air bath and a garden, Hotel Swell Pavones is a recently renovated accommodation in Pavones located close to Playa Pavones.

Absolutely loved it here! As soon as I arrived I was greeted with big smiles and kindness from the staff. They are relaxed, helpful, fun and just really good people. Room was great! Bed comfy. I loved how the hotel had different zones so you can either be social or find a quiet area to chill. Shared kitchen was super clean, spacious and very well organized. Lots of surfboards for rent. Beach about 50m away, a few cafes / restaurants close, as well as the mini market store. 100% will be back! Hopefully sooner rather than later. Thanks for a great time Hotel Swell.... Walter, Flavio x2, Natalie, Federicka and Chepe, you guys are legends, well done on your exceptional customer service.

    The location is perfect for a stay in Puerto Jimenez overlooking the water watching the bird life and the locals coming and going. Dolphin watching trip straight from the property. Lots of info about the area at check in. Very friendly staff. Good value for money.

    Amazing location, you walk directly onto the (practically deserted) beach. Finally a spot where you can actually find full coconuts at the palmtrees, normally they all have been "harvested" by locals. Awesome beach with warm ocean water, plenty of spots to stay in the shade. The house is very cozy, round shaped. Nice outdoor kitchen that we actually used. Friendly owner.
