There are too many staff members to thank by name, but each was extraordinarily helpful and accommodating. The property is unbelievable and our experience there will never be forgotten. The guides not only demonstrated vast knowledge of the plants, animals and geography in and around El Remanso, but did so with great passion. Their role there is much more than... More

El Remanso is a truly unique and special place. The owners have created a lodge that balances adventure, relaxation, luxury and economy in a perfect balance. My wife and I had the most amazing time together on the Active Package staying in the Casa Poniente. Never in my life have I encountered such friendly and personable staff ready to make... More

My husband and I went 2 1/2 years ago to a few different areas of Costa Rica and even after the "high" of the vacation has gone, El Remanso stays in my mind. I think it was 4 days and wished we had more. La Guinda was wonderful and would highly recommend it. Wildlife was abundant and as a nature... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at El Remanso from Feb 21 - Feb 26. The planning part of the trip was great - worked with Gabby via phone calls and emails and she was super friendly and helpful. We drove from San Jose to El Remanso in one day. We heard horror stories about the drive - but the roads... More

We stayed 4 nights at El Remanso and had the most wonderful time. We tried to get the La Guinda deluxe cabin but since it was booked, we just had the regular cabin which was not only roomy but also rustically luxious and we loved it. The room, linens and bed were comfortable and clean. The mosquito net and vessel... More

We just returned from a 4 day stay at El Remanso and wanted to add our voices to the chorus of folks who have really enjoyed their stay there. The entire staff was wonderful -- very efficient, accomodating and friendly. The grounds are gorgeous and the beach and the lagoon are so empty and beautiful --- we felt as if... More

We stayed here for 5 nights at the end of our Costa Rican trip, in the La Guinda deluxe cabin. It is definitely worth spending the extra as we had a huge deck overlooking the jungle and the sea, and it is very private. The food is great, the staff is wonderful (Gerardo, the resident biologist is the most incredible... More

El Remanso is the perfect mix of luxury and raw nature. My friend and I returned yesterday after a week there, and we are planning to go back. The highlights of our visit were a nature hike with the engaging and knowledgeable Gerardo, who is a graduate student making a study of bats in the Osa Penninsula. We also walked... More
