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

The meals are wonderful and there is always tea, coffee and biscuits available should you need them. Staff are all very smiley and happy and the... More

El Remanso is perfection in an eco-lodge. The grounds that El Remanso is pristine with many jungle animals. In many ways, it was more pristine even than going to the ranger station in Corcovado; that did have the benefit of more sightings of wildlife, but it also had crowds of people on the trails. El Remanso is relatively small, maybe... More
