Featuring a rustic-style decoration and located amid a tropical forest facing the Pacific Ocean, this certified eco-friendly property offers included breakfast.

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.

Danta Corcovado Lodge offers its guests a library, Wi-Fi access in public areas free of charge and extensive gardens. Tea and coffee services are available from 06:00 to 22:00 hours.

The food was excellent. The night tour and hike in Corcovado park were exceptional with a very knowledgable tour guide. The grounds are beautiful. The squirrel monkeys above our hut were adorable. We enjoyed the walk up to the bird watching tower on the grounds and the amazing views from there.

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.

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.

Featuring free WiFi, Corcovado Beach Lodge offers eco-friendly accommodations in Puerto Jiménez. Free private parking is available on site.

The photos of this property didn't quite do it justice. It was beautiful! Very cute little "village" of these cabins. The onsite host was just wonderful and cooked a fine breakfast. Beach? Beautiful and right there! AC was needed and wonderful. Outdoor clothesline - handy! Next time we stay here, it may be for our entire stay in Costa Rica instead of just the 2/3 days we'd stayed this first time.

Located 1.8 miles from Tigre Beach, Chosa Manglar Suites & Cabins offers a garden, a shared lounge and air-conditioned accommodations with a patio and free WiFi.

We stayed at the King's Suite, which included a spacious sleeping area decorated with original art, with an equally spacious bathroom and well-equipped outdoor kitchen. It also included a covered front porch with a small table where we could enjoy the property's extensive jungle flowers and plants, while watching wildlife and having a meal. There was a small rooftop deck, perfect for bird and monkey-watching, enjoying the second cup of coffee or a book. Odd though it may seem, this property on the edge of Puerto Jimenez is in an actual rainforest complete with monkeys, sloths, coati, macaws, toucans and many other exotic birds. Surprisingly, it was only a few hundred feet from the town's airstrip. Following hotel checkout, we were able to walk to the runway carrying all our luggage. The resort also included a beautiful jungle garden, where patrons swapped stories around the nightly bonfire. This was a perfect place for socializing with the staff and other guests, while enjoying refreshments and more wildlife. On recent Saturday nights, a DJ has offered dances. One evening, a fantastic band from Panama played a variety of live music from Central America.

Offering mountain views, Finca la Bonita, Playa Carate in Carate has accommodations, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. There's a fully equipped private bathroom with shower and free toiletries.

Exceptional location in the middle of the rainforest. From our cabin we could see and hear the ocean in the distance. At night, there is no human-made light to be seen or sound to be heard. Instead, the night is filled with the sounds of the rainforest: cicadas, birds, howler monkeys.

With mountain views, Amazonita Ecolodge is located in Dos Brazos and has a restaurant, a tour desk, bar, garden and terrace. There's a fully equipped private bathroom with shower and free toiletries.

We loved the warm welcome from all the friendly furry friends- adorable dogs and the sweetest kitten Aurora. The staff was also very kind and accommodating. The sounds of the jungle during the night was amazing. The areas were as clean as can be, don’t forget you are in the jungle, it’s an open concept.

    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.

    The location is fabulous, you're literally in the forest with a view of the sea. You can't help but admire the effort that must have gone into building in such a remote location, a 2-hour drive from the nearest town. The owner of the Lodge, who initiated this extraordinary project, comes to discuss the project every evening. Beautiful pool Excellent service Excellent restaurant, attentive to every need

    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.

    This was an absolutely fabulous eco lodge. Everything that you asked for was provided. In addition, the owner is an expert on natural health and healing and shares her interest with any guest who is interested. For example, she opened her home for a "sound healing" performance while I was there. Massages were excellent too. Food was delicious--very fresh. Mainly vegetarian at lunch but dinners had meat or fish available. Full bar, lovely pool, nice places to lounge and relax.
