"We stayed in a king-size cabin right by the water and it was very comfortable. The mattress is great. The AC works well. It has an attached bathroom, which is pretty basic, but it gets the job done. The location and the view and the access to the water to go for a swim is unbeatable. This is not a luxury lodge, but it is very clean and well maintained. Tomas the owner is super helpful. We did not stay for breakfast, but they do have breakfast on site. This is a great place to stay if you’re...

"Fantasztikus családi vállalkozás! A hely egyszerűen hihetetlen. Távol a világ zajától az esőerdő mélyén. A háziasszony finom ételeket készít! Ő a lelke az egésznek. Mindenki felkészült a természet kincseiből, amiből van itt bőven! A túránk során , amit a férje vezetett, láttunk és fényképeztünk Tukánt, Spider monkeyt, és még egy másik fajtát is, és sok sok madarat. Éjszaka pedig békát és kígyót is! A fiaik nagyon nagyon lelkes természetbarátok. Életreszóló élmény volt az itt eltöltött pár nap!...

Top Playa Matapalo Hotel Reviews

Maze Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Definitivamente regresaremos ! Un ambiente desconectado de la ciudad , el lugar tiene todo lo que necesites incluyendo lavandería . Mantener un turismo sostenible no es sencillo, puedes notar que el lugar se esfuerza por llevar una armonía con la naturaleza❤️‍🩹 Zayro nos recibió muy cálidamente ✨ nos brindó información importante de la zona y siempre estuvo disponible para ayudar en todo momento! Si visitas este lugar respeta la naturaleza y anímales de esa forma se mantiene un ecosistema sano :) recomendadisimo (Viajamos en moto por lo que no tuvimos problema con la calle para llegar)"

Pavones Point

10/10 Excellent

"This was a terrific property. Luxury surf resort. Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful rooms. A very short walk across the street to the beach. Fully equipped room with Wi-Fi, kitchen, tvs, laundry room, etc. Great outdoor terrace with chairs and large dining table to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Our host Veronica helped us coordinate a very special clay/pottery making experience for our family. She also recommended a couple great local restaurants and markets. We would definitely book again if back in Pavones!"

El Tumbo de las Olas

10/10 Excellent

"The hosts at the site were very helpful and wonderful once we found them. But finding them initially was very hard as the address is difficult to locate and our local taxi got lost. It would be far better if Expedia would send us a good contact # for the people who are actually running the place on the ground before we even came just as VRBO does. There should be more pictures of the outside of the rental as it was very deep in the jungle and very dark as there was no sunshine. There was very little electric lights at night so not possible to read. Other than that it was a great experience staying there as we met up with our son on his birthday at Lapa Rios. The ladies that hosted us were a A + team. Raana Azad"

Iguana Lodge Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"I want to start by saying that my wife and I very much enjoyed our 7 day stay. With that said it's web site states that it is the only luxury resort on the beach which in our opinion is stretching the word luxury a bit. To us its luxury is not in the facility, which is a bit rustic, but rather the natural setting that surrounds it. Beautiful macaws, howler monkeys, iguanas, tapir, hawk, other wild life in the area, lush green environment and of course the sound of the beach surf all day long. We found it to be a great place for relaxing and enjoying our surroundings. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and the pool every night surrounded the nature. The lodge is about 4 kilometers from the small town of Puerto Jimenez on a pothole filled dirt road. Suggest that guests rent a car or you wont be able to get around much to participate in the many other nature activities in the Osa area. The staff, which included the owner, was great (in particular Oliver and Mardi). Overall we give the lodge a definite thumbs up."

Lapa Rios Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"If you want to be right in the middle of nature and wildlife this is the place to go. Most of the resort is raised up into the treetops so you can be eye level with creatures you'd usually only see way above you from the ground. The included hikes and birdwatching were wonderful with very knowledgeable and passionate guides. We also arranged a day trip to Corcovado by boat through the lodge in advance, seems pricey at first but was well worth it. Over the course of a week we saw sloths (lodge & Corcovado), monkeys (everywhere), tapirs (Corcovado), ant eaters (lodge and Corcovado), coatis (lodge), frogs and lizards (lodge) and so many different birds (everywhere). We chose a forest bungalow room which is just screened in from the outside. I was a bit worried the lack of AC might make it too hot to sleep, but at the end of April the fans in the room were enough to keep us comfortable over night. No need for alarm clocks, the howler monkeys will get you up every day. Overall a fantastic nature focused lodge that combines the ability to relax with adventure."
