El Remanso was the highlight of our great wildlife adventure trip to Costa Rica. I have been to ecolodges in several countries and it is delightful if you plan to spend a little more money and have more luxurious accomodations. We were interested in seeing birds and wildlife as well as hiking, and all these goals were met. Having great... More

We are newlyweds and we wanted a experience a non-sterile unconventional experience. We wisely chose the El Remanso Lodge. We wanted to go somewhere where we were away from cilivization, we could relax, and reduce our environmental footprint. Both of us live stressful lives at work. We got the wildlife package stayed at the "La Gundia" lodge and we came... More

Just returned from a 6 day stay at El Remanso. All previous reviews with a 5/5 rating are entirely accurate. Outstanding location, luxurious accomodations (remember, you are in the middle of a rain forest), wonderful staff, great food and amazing animal/plant life. Plan to do as many activities as time allows. The owners, Adriana and Daniel, make you feel like... More

My wife and I recently stayed at El Remanso for 5 days in La Guinda cabin. It was the most amazing trip either of us have ever been on. We did the honeymoon package, which involves 5 activities (waterfall repelling, guided hikes, horseback riding, etc.), an amazing 60 minute massage, and a candle lit private dinner with champagne. All of... More

We were celebrating our 10 yr Annivrsary and stayed for 7nights. It was everything in one; adventure, relaxation, and physically activities. The peaceful atmosphere coupled with the politeness, the experience, and the service of the staff made our trip an exceptional vacation. The food was amazing and I can't emphasize enough the care of the waiting staff. I would love... More

We loved El Remanso so much we had to go back. And 5 days was just about right to get fully relaxed (next time, I'm thinking 7 days). Everything about this place allows you to be either physically active or completely relaxed. The food, the accommodations and staff make this a great experience. This place is great if you like...

We spent 6 nights at El Remanso for our delayed honeymoon. We could not have asked for a more perfect experience. I could repeat the entire previous review, it was just an amazing, most special adventure. The lodge and the grounds were beautiful, the owners Adriana and Daniel, wait staff, and activities staff were extremely warm, friendly and accommodating, and... More

We had the great pleasure of being guest in January 2012. Four amazing days, wishing we had arranged to have stayed longer. From the moment we were greeted at the airport in Puerto Jimenez by Gabby's brilliant smile and warm welcome... we knew we were in good hands. Our driver was happy to share his knowledge about the surrounding country... More

There's a reason that, as of this writing, there are about 160 excellent reviews and only one that is 'very good.' El Remanso is unique - warm and caring people, a stunning parcel of jungle, beautiful cottages, every conceivable amenity and totally guilt-free because of their commitment to the environment. It is one of the few lodges with a perfect... More

We had such a wonderful vacation at El Remanso. The jungle is all around you-real jungle with lots of birds, butterflies, and animals. The setting is spectacular. The people at the Lodge were all so wonderful. Gerardo and Renaldo are the most excellent guides and enthusiastic ecologists with the sharpest eyes of anyone ever! They were patient, funny and extremely... More
