“A small haven between paradise and the wild.”
The lodge is set directly on the beach, nestled in lush vegetation and palm trees, far from everything, yet just a 3.5 km walk from Carate. The bungalows offer all modern comforts, along with a pleasant bar and restaurant serving food at fair, market-rate prices. An ideal place to disconnect from everyday life or to unwind for a few days after a multi-day trek in nearby Corcovado National Park.

“Perfect place to chill out”
Perfect location to chill out, far away from crowds, nearby Corcovado, surrounded by nature, with very friendly staff, possibilities to have tours, massage or simply the beach for you

“Nature place - Far from everything”
Lilte paradise lost at the very end of the road - yes it is not cheap - yes it can be tough to get there - yes it is not 5 stars confort place : But if you go there you should initially know why - remoteness and wildlife. You can swim in the sea just in fornt (being carreful of RIP current) and the personnel was very welcoming. Again the tours and locals beverages are not cheap but this is cheaper than Disneyland (and way better IMO ;).

“1 night in paradise !”
It’s like leaving a moment out of this world in a complete paradise ! We had such a great time, location is incredible between the tropical jungle and the ocean, the tents are perfect and have everything we need and the view on the beach. The food was so good, the best we had in Costa Rica, the prices feel justified compared to the rest of the country. The staff is awesome, really nice and helped have the best experience there. The hotel offers night walks where we got to see turtles nesting, hikes in the Corcovado with a great guide who is willing to share his experience of nature and naturals, massages also. I can only recommend !!

“Superb location once in a lifetime”
The end of civilisation is hard to find on this planet. But here it is. In a relatively comfortable way. With home made food and drinks and fruits and private open air showers. A wonderfull nature experience.

“Not Happy!”
After we booked and were on our way, we were sent an email to say we would have to hike up to three and a half kilometres along the beech to reach the property. This was not made clear at the time of booking. I contacted the property to say that it was simply not acceptable that I, at 71, and my wife, at 69, should be expected to hike in high temperatures and humidity to reach the property and that this information should be right upfront when booking. I later discovered it hidden away in a dropdown menu on the booking site. This also indicated that a pickup could be arranged 3 days in advance, which wasn't the case with our booking. I contacted the property and Booking.com. The property said it was a problem I would have to take up with Booking.com. Booking.com said I would have to take it up with the property.

The location was stunning. We had the place to ourselves. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and accomadating. Thank you to Frank for the birthday celebrations 🍾. The food was very good and the chef catered for our needs. We asked to move accomadation given they were quite this wasn't a problem. The walk in the national park with the guid was excellent. He was knowlegable and went out if his way to show us things.
