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.

Absolutely fantastic breathtaking place. Worth to choose the better bigger villa with terrace. We were sitting every day listening to birds, lot of birds were flying over our heads (scarlet macaws, toucans, hummingbirds, green parrots…). Blue morphos butterflies flying around. Filip and his family are extremely kind and nice, cooking warm breakfast and dinner (local), which was very tasty. This is a big advantage because you could eat very tasty local food which you could not easily find in restaurants. We were doing a night tour with Filip and saw a snake, tarantula, centipedes, frogs… All trails are private, no people around! Absolutely breathtaking was to see the biggest ceiba in Corcovado, about 500 years old tree! Also amazing was to see giant matapalos, lianas which killed a tree and grow instead of it. If you are lucky, you can see Maria, a sloth coming every year staying around 4 months. We would like to come again for at least a week next year. Thanks a lot for very nice stay.

Amazing 2 BR house in the middle of the jungle! Clean, spacious, everything we needed. We really enjoyed our time in there. Cooked dinner outside on the patio and spent the evening watching the stars and listening to the sounds from the jungle. Saw monkeys and birds from the patio. Total relaxation. The owner of the place, Alexander, took good care of us. We could also book a guide to our Corcovado tour through him. Would highly recommend!!!

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.

We loved staying up in the trees with wildlife all around us. Squirrel and Spider monkeys nearby and Howler monkeys off in the distance but very audible. Hummingbirds and leaf cutter ants part of the parade of nature. Staff were very helpful and personable. Christian helped to get us a great guide for Corcovado National Park. Wendell went out of his way to show us It is helpful to know some Spanish. The food was simple but good.

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.
