“Surf, Yoga, and Beachside Bliss”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

I came to Boca Sombrero as part of a New York yoga studio's annual surf and yoga retreat. Having been to Costa Rica several times before, I knew of its raw beauty, but until you experience life on the Osa Peninsula, you really have not seen the unbridled "nature" that makes Costa Rica one of the most biologically diverse and...

In fact, all of the staff was exceptionally kind and mindful. Angus and Luke, our super hot chefs, created amazing meals every breakfast and dinner.... More

“Living off the grid”

Reviewed 28 August 2012

Boca Sombrero on the Osa Peninsula is a perfect slice of paradise if you are looking to unplug and live off the grid! My girlfriend and I stayed in Casa Troya (designed by Walter) a beautiful bamboo house located approximately 100 meters from the beach. The main level has a large open kitchen we enjoyed cooking our own meals most... More

Dear Valued Customer, Casa Troya is a special space, and we're glad that you and your girlfriend enjoyed it. Even after living here for so many years we never tire of seeing the scarlet macaws in the almond trees infront of the house. Thanks for your recommendations on activities and bringing water shoes. Both will come in handy for any... More

“The getaway you will remember - and do again”

Reviewed 12 August 2012

An absolute gem of an experience. The staff is friendly, engaging, present, available, interested and helpful one hundred percent. The location truly is a private getaway - to be in the ocean and be the only people in the water for what feels like forever in both directions. The most outstanding experience, other than the clear skies and ocean, was... More

Thank you for taking the time to write such a positive review of our property. The food we serve is definitely a highlight for many guests, and we're glad you enjoyed it. We hope to see you again on the Osa in the near future. Pura Vida! More

This place is the joy at the end of the universe! They are first-class in terms of serving your needs and being available, while leaving you to your own discoveries of the wilds of the Osa. I hesitate to write this review out of selfishness, because this will be my 7th year in a row coming here and loving every... More
