“Paradise 💜”
Loved the bird singing and surrounding forest, the balcony and the garden were nice too. The room was perfect for me and had everything necessary. The walk to the village and to the start of all hikes is about 15-20 mins. I like walking so for me it wasn’t a problem, rather an advantage. If you are coming back at night by walking - don’t forget the torch:) Sebastian and his wife are very helpful and always patiently and kindly answered all my questions ( and I had a lot of questions! 😝) Book your tours with the owner - you will not regret! I especially loved the mangrove tour and the night live tour.

Wonderful place at the edge of the jungle. we were picked when we arrived at the beach and drove by a supermarket to get supplies. Rooms a spacious clean and cool made, it's a place you can really spent time just hanging out in the garden or on the balcony. The owners are really friendly and informative. We really enjoyed our week there.

Basic but all you need is there, I loved this place in the middle of the Green lush jungle. Perfect place to stay if you are visiting Drake Bay.

“Highly recommended”
The view from the balcony is amazing. You are right in the middle of the forest while being in a very nice chalet. The place has all we needed for a short stay.

“It was a wonderful stay, absolutely our best in Costa Rica!”
Absolutely everything! The cabaña we stayed in was very cosy and every single detail was very well thought of. The view on the woods is calming and relaxing. You’re completely immersed in nature: from the balcony we saw monkeys, toucans and agoutis. Two frogs crossed our path when going back at night. The room and the kitchen were spotless! Last but not least, Sebastián is an incredible host: friendly, available and very nice. You can tell he genuinely enjoys hosting people and sharing tips and information about this and other beautiful areas of Costa Rica.

“The cabañas were perfect for our needs. They were very comfortable but still felt immersed in nature with monkeys right”
The cabañas were perfect for our needs. They were very comfortable but still felt immersed in nature with monkeys right outside. Sebastián was also amazingly helpful and helped us organise a mangrove tour last minute

“Tranquil location with attentive, yet unobtrusive hosts. Highly Recommend!”
Sebastian and Maria were the most amazing hosts. We had to change plans at the last minute due to road closures and cancelled accommodation. After confirming last minute availability at Bajo Bosque, I had a WhatsApp message 5 minutes later from Sebastian re-assuring us he'd be waiting on the beach to transfer us to Bajo Bosque after our boat transfer from Sierpe (we highly recommend this route in to Drake Bay). On the first morning, Sebastian took us into town and pointed out the best shops to buy fruit, veg and store-cupboard supplies. Later in the week when we experienced a power outage, Sebastian was down in a heartbeat with a gas burner so we could make our morning coffee and breakfast. We saw so much wildlife from the balcony of Bajo Bosque, with messages from Sebastian each time he spotted a Sloth in the trees. The Macaws were also a common sight in the trees road-side. We enjoyed the easy 20 minute walk down to the start of the Drake Bay hiking trail (spotted a Tapir on the road at night!). We were travelling with kids, and there was never a complaint about the walking because we always saw so many exciting things long the way. Sebastian also offers transfers at a reasonable cost which are well worth it to explore more of the Drake Bay Hiking trail. Our change in plans meant that we stayed 3 nights longer than originally planned, spending 7 nights in total. This was in hind-sight such a great alteration to our itinerary because our stay at Bajo Bosque was hands-down the best part of our 3 week holiday in Costa Rica. We'd also highly recommend a creek tour with José whose knowledge of frogs is incredible!

“We loved Osa! It felt well away from the madding crowd. The”
The location was fine with a car. It was a 20 minute walk down to the beach/town which was fine but uphill in the heat was more of a struggle. The river pool 5 minutes up the hill from the property was lovely for a cooling swim. Sebastian kept in touch with us in case we needed anything.

“OK for the price.”
The owner is friendly and the property is reasonably clean. The deck out the back has view onto the forest and we saw spider monkeys here on our last morning. There are also lots of butterflies and the gardens are nice. It's also possible to do a limited amount of cooking and the optional breakfast is a bonus given that the usual tours here start very early.

Loved where this property is located because it backs onto a forest. It was relaxing to lie in the hammock and watch some monkeys, the birds and butterflies. It's a bit of a walk into town, but for me I liked that because it's quieter. Anyway, Sebastian the owner will run you into town for a small fee. Sebastian and his son were so nice and very helpful. The cabin was very spacious and clean. I loved it here.

“Perfect!”
It was very authentic in the middle of the forest and Maria and Sebas, are the perfect hosts. They are always prone to help with anything you might need. All the facilities were very clean, including warm water (we read it did not had, but it has) It was 20 min walking from Drake Bay with a nice route from the forest to the beach. I you do not want to walk, Sebas can pick you up or they call a taxi for you. It was an amazing stay!

A great size with comfy beds and nice and quiet location. It was exceptionally clean and the rooms were cleaned every day which was unusual for Costa Rica.

“Very attentive hosts”
Sebastian was very helpful and always tried to help with anything we asked. The cabin was very clean, the towels and the bins were changed every day. Couldn’t fault the service . We were both impressed with the cabin being done every day . We saw so many animals sat on our outside deck . Butterflies, birds, white throated capuchins, spider monkeys and we had a sloth sat at a top of a tree for 5 days right outside the cabin. We only saw a couple of more animals in Corcovado park.
