"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...

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!"

Playa Cativo Lodge

"Excellent time at Cativo Lodge! The hotel is so beautiful the room is big, comfortable and with great amenities. But the best of the hotel is the staff and how they make us to feel like home! Thanks to GM Kenneth; Mike, Ivan, Alonso, Kevin and many others! Great customer service!"

Corcovado Private Villas

10/10 Excellent

"The views were utterly amazing. We had monkeys right outside the home jumping from tree to tree. We had a lot of bugs every morning dead on the balcony and by the doors"

Cabinas Jimenez

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing views!! Staff is friendly and helpful. Everything is nearby. Walking is fun, lots to see. Outdoor kitchen was heavenly."

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."

You'll find everything within walking distance, from small shops to casual restaurants.For couples looking for a relaxed beach holiday, staying directly on the beach is ideal.
