We had a really great time at the Pacuares nature reserve. Thank you so much for this unique experience. The staff, the reasearchers and the volunteers were super helpful and knowledgeable. We were lucky to see some leatherback turtles. It was an amazing experience. Also the forest tour and the boats tour were really nice and we learnt a lot.

“Amazing stay in nature off the beaten track”

Location in nature Gatden with animals Great guide, French lady Loiza(?) Boattrip

“Great experience”

This place is not an hotel like your standard hotel but what a nice place to stay. Eating what the staff/volunteers makes is really nice, quality of food is good. If you enjoy nature and always want to watch turtles nesting, this is the place to go.

“Very expensive for what it was, I would not rush back”

We timed our stay to the leatherback turtles nesting season and we were very lucky to see it in person. It was an amazing experience to see the whole process from a turtle emerging from the ocean to returning to it.

“Fantastic project and great to see the team at work.”

Amazing location and staff absolutely fantastic. Experiencing the turtle monitoring, the boat tour and the north station hike were highlights for us .

“wildlife, kindness and natural beauty”

The rooms are very basic, but clean. There is no fan, no AC and little electricity.. but it’s ALL ok.. because this is a magical experience at a very special place on earth with really nice people with the greatest heart — who help turtles survive! 🐢💚 lots of wildlife (also mammals!) in the jungle… great tours with enthousiasts young people included with the stay… Thanks Rose! she was great!!

“Wonderful stay – we will be back in the future”

Pacuare is an amazing experience. When you have grown tired of the big resorts, you can access a unique part of CR here. We saw many animals, that we did not see elsewhere – even after 2 stays in Tortuguero, Pacuare was its own. And even if we did not see a single turtle (nor egg-laying or hatching) – since we came out of season, it was still a great experience. Michael needs a special thanks – extraordinary service minded and helped us to a great stay. We will surely comeback – also to get to see Agamis ;) PS. Amazing food. Perhaps the best food we got on our entire 3 weeks in Costa Rica. Well done to the kitchen in Pacuare :)

“Amazing stay in beautiful nature. Such a great experience also for our boys.”

We stayed here for 2 nights with our kids (8/10yo) and had a fantastic time. We were able to watch a turtle laying eggs and witness baby leatherback turtles scramble for the sea. The staff is amazing, friendly and very helpful. There is so much wildlife to see! Even just the boat ride getting there is amazing. All the meals were delicious. The accommodation itself is basic but comfortable. We would love to come back me back!

The Casa Grande at Pacuare Reserve is an amazing place if you like pure nature and wildlife as we do. Thus we were grateful when we had the chance to see leader back turtles coming to the shore in the evening/night to lay eggs, a slot close to the kitchen, monkeys playing at the reserve, bats resting close to the apartment, frogs, snakes… and finally even baby turtles hatching. The food was nice and coffee, water and tee always at free dispose. Apartment was small but sufficient especially as we had a nice terrasse with a hammock and sofa😊Further we did several hikes into the jungle with Eduardo which were amazing – especially due to the knowledge and passion/love which Eduardo has about and for the jungle; in case you love photography he is as well the right man, as we shares that passion and has a great eye for the animals and the right light – thanks all again! Hope till soon again PS: Don’t forget the insect repellent😉
