It’s like leaving a moment out of this world in a complete paradise ! We had such a great time, location is incredible between the tropical jungle and the ocean, the tents are perfect and have everything we need and the view on the beach. The food was so good, the best we had in Costa Rica, the prices feel justified compared to the rest of the country. The staff is awesome, really nice and helped have the best experience there. The hotel offers night walks where we got to see turtles nesting, hikes in the Corcovado with a great guide who is willing to share his experience of nature and naturals, massages also. I can only recommend !!

Everything was simply spectacular: the whole staff is always keen to help and make you feel at home, starting from Lana, the incredible owner of the lodge; the food is local, fresh and delicious; there is a whole range of activities that Lana organize - we even had the opportunity to participate to a Cacao ceremony that was quite an experience. You could literally spend from few days to few months in that lodge as you will always feel at home. The view of the yoga place is spectacular. Just keep in mind that the road to get there requires 4W car and a really expert driver, so if you don’t feel confident, is a good option to accept the lift from the lodge.

We came to Costa Rica to hike and watch birds. This property was perfect because it has over 40km of trails through gorgeous forest with many old trees. The trails are well maintained, and some are challenging, which we enjoyed. 3 days was not enough to explore all the trails. Philip and his wife are wonderful; one of the kindest hosts we have ever experienced. The food was plentiful and delicious. Philip knows a lot about the local natural history and was generous with his time. They drove us to the lodge from the airport and to our next destination which was convenient for us. We rented the small cabin on top of the hill and the view from the cabin was spectacular. If you are looking for nature, kind hosts, plenty of hiking trails and wildlife this is for you. It is not luxurious, and the only entertainment is nature. I can’t wait to return!

Such an amazing, one of a kind experience! Pure jungle Life! We had such a good time here and out Hosts Liz, Danger, Allison were so helpful and kind. They know a Person for everything and can help you set up some amazing tours. We did a night hike in the Jungle and it was one of the coolest things we ever did. It was a pleasure to stay here and get to know the Jungle Lifestyle.

We had a wonderful time at Maze Lodge in the middle of the jungle! Sure the road is a little bumpy but nothing a 4x4 car (we had a Suzuki Jimny) can't handle...a little adventure ride for free :) We want to thank our hosts Frida and Alexander so much for hospitality and their support! We had a great time and a big experience! All the best for your Maze Lodge!

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.

Because of the long journey (38km of the finest jungle track), I would probably skip Corcovado National Park if planning a trip again. The only trail in the park (which absolutely requires a guide) runs directly along the beach and returns the same way. You do see a lot of animals, but compared to the parks on the Pacific coast, the experience wasn't really worth the effort.

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.

This is the perfect place for nature lovers looking for some peace and quiet surrounded by gorgeous nature abundant with wildlife! We heard and saw spider monkeys, howlers monkeys. capuchin monkeys, Scarlet Macaws and toucans daily. We also saw tracks of tapirs. Knowing that big cats roam the premises adds even more to the appeal of this wonderful place. Yes it is a bumpy road to get to Carate but that is a good thing. It keeps the crowds away and the wildlife safer.

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.
