Saladero is a unique place you must stay for any trip in Costa Rica, for these reasons 1/ The nature 2/ The hosts 3/ The meals. Let us try to explain. First Saladero Lodge is completely remote, right on Golfo Dulce, on the Piedras Blancas National Park. If you want to explore this park, Saladero is one of the few... More

We spent 7 nights in the beautiful beach house and had a wonderful time. One of my personal favorites on this magnificent property was the outside shower. Susan and Harvey really go above and beyond to make sure their guests have a great experience. I traveled with my mother and my brother and they both had a lovely time as... More

This was a truly wonderful place to stay. It's a special corner of the Golfo Dulce that most travelers do not get to experience (which makes it all the better!). The kayaks and snorkeling equipment included in the stay make it easy to explore many of the deserted nearby beaches and enjoy the exceptional wildlife that abounds, both under the... More

We spent 5 nights in the beach house. Harvey and Susan are dedicated to their guest in having healthy meals and the surroundings being well maintained. The shower is located outside, but was a wonderful experience. We went horseback riding offered by Raymond a friend, which was the best of our 3 rides in Costa Rica.

Saladero is an obvious labor of love by the owners, Harvey and Susan. They make staying there a wonderfully unique, informative, fun filled, and homey experience, and we felt that we were with friends from the moment we met. This was our 4th trip to the Golfo Dulce area, but our 1st to Saladero, and we enjoyed Harvey and Susan's... More

Shortly after booking our flights to the Osa peninsula, we came across Saladero's website and promptly made our first reservations for the trip. The rest of our itinerary would be based on a 3 day stay here in the middle of our adventure, and all of the kind words out there could not express how pleased we were with the... More

For the first time in our many years of travel, we found a place and people we enjoyed so much, we had to return, and we were glad we did! Harvey and Susan make the Saladero experience truly amazing. This is a great place to rejuvenate, explore, enjoy nature and wildlife, share stories, and eat fabulous, healthy meals among friends.... More

Have you ever watched dolphins at play from your bedroom window? Or gazed at the path of the full moon on still ocean waters leading right into the same window? Magical moments, but not unusual for guests staying in the Beach House at Harvey and Susan Woodard's retreat in the Costa Rican rain forest. Those are only a couple of... More

I camped at Saladero for two days, and it was a wonderful experience. The camping area is well-groomed and equipped with a large tarp to shelter your tent. There is a "palapa" structure nearby for food preparation and running water for cleanup. The setting is absolutely gorgeous, as you are camping between the beach/gulf and the rainforest. There are several... More
