A short flight from San Jose takes you to this small paradise on the Osa Peninsula. Every 'Chalet' is quite separate from its neighbour and our own had a clear view over the forest to the Pacific. The Guiding by Gerardo is exceptional and our three hour 'hike' passed in moments....ending in a warm but heavy downpour that gave us... More

El Remanso is one of the most beautiful and unique places I have ever stayed. It is entirely "off the grid" and deep in the rain forest on a ridgeline near Cabo Matapalo, a truly wild and natural paradise on the Osa Peninsula near Corcovado National Park. The resort runs on hydro- and solar power, draws drinking water from natural... More

Where to start... well, arriving in El Remanso is something that is both exhilarating and incredibly calming. With the glorious rainforest backdrop and accompanying orchestra of birds, mammals and insects, it is difficult to focus, but the team here are adept at making you feel instantly at home and truly relaxed. This family owned and run lodge is small (only... More

It's an all inclusive jungle experience & we found it not only the most charming and fun place we've ever stayed (& we've traveled a lot) but the best price in all of Coasta Rica. It's on the Osa peninsula which has no mosquitoes, that's right folks no mosquitoes. It included: round trip airfare from San Jose to Puerto Jimenez... More

Family of 4, with 12 and 15 yr old children, spent 11 days in Costa Rica at the end of April 13 - the first 5 days in the Osa peninsula at the El Remanso lodge. This small lodge, located very close to a large national park and in the middle of a large conservation area dominated by primary growth... More

A lovely lodge in a beautiful, natural setting. A fantastic opportunity to see animals and birds in the extensive grounds, which range from rainforest to fabulous ocean-side. We joined guided tours and also hiked around on our own, every sortie yielded up something exciting. Soak in the pool and watch macaws in the tree overhead. You can be as active... More

I took two grandsons, ages 11 and 12, to experience the rain forest. They are both great nature lovers with snakes and frogs being at the top of their list. This was the perfect place for all three of us! The boys could do such adventures as waterfall rappelling and tree climbing - I did not have to go along.... More

We traveled to the Osa Penninsula in March and ended our stay with 4 nights at the El Remanso Lodge. The setting is spectacular in the rainforest set on cliffs overlooking the Pacific. At night you can hear the surf pounding in the distance. In the morning there are the howlers and the birds. We took several guided hikes on... More

If you want internet, air conditioning and a glossy resort experience then go elsewhere. If you want an incredible jungle experience, the friendliest guides and staff on earth, and pure magic come here. I came with my family - my parents and two adult siblings, and we had a wonderful five days. It's hard to find a complaint! The staff... More
