you're seeking a retreat where tranquility meets exceptional service, look no further! Our stay at this hidden gem was a truly transformative experience. The serene location, surrounded by lush rainforest, provided the perfect setting for relaxation and reflection. Every detail was thoughtfully crafted to offer comfort while keeping us deeply connected to nature. The service was impeccable, with a warm and attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. One of the highlights for us was the holistic massages. They were simply incredible expertly delivered, deeply relaxing, and tailored to my wife’s needs. It was clear that the massage therapists were not only highly skilled but genuinely dedicated to helping guests feel renewed in both body and mind. Another unforgettable part of our stay was our guided tour of Corcovado National Park. Our guide was outstanding knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate about the local environment. His deep respect for nature and keen eye for spotting wildlife made the experience truly remarkable. We learned so much about the park’s rich biodiversity, and his insightful commentary added a whole new layer of appreciation for the incredible beauty around us. This retreat is a haven for those looking to unwind, connect with nature, and experience a bit of adventure in one of Costa Rica’s most stunning regions. We left feeling refreshed and inspired. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a peaceful yet enriching getaway.

We liked absolutely everything at the Danta Corcovado lodge, it was actually our best accommodation so far in Costa Rica. The service is great, the food is amazing at both breakfast and dinner, the room is something special , the territory of the lodge is quite large, has many trails around the lodge, the location is close to the beach. Breakfast had 5 or 6 different choices to choose from. The design is very modern, a lot of creativity. Large room. No need for AC, the room doesn't have windows but has mosqueto nets. There is a possibility to take tours from that place but we didn't so can't comment. We stayed here on the way back from the Corcovado overnight Serena tour. If I could rate it higher than 10 I would gladly do it! Next time we will plan to stay in this place for longer.

A quiet, under-developed tropical destination, immersed in...

A quiet, under-developed tropical destination, immersed in the rainforest. There is no town per se, just properties immersed in green. Wonderful beaches, no one around for miles. The nearest bar / restaurant is 45 min away by car on a bad road. The nearest store is in Puerto Jimenez. Patchy cell phone reception. Spectacular nature, all around: birds, butterflies, monkeys.

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.

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.

Great location. Natural setting surrounded by pristine rainforest. Cristhian, the host, is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He’s a true local, and an expert on the Osa Peninsula. Views from the cabins are fantastic.
