Stayed in April 2012 one night. Enjoyed the view of the ocean and being in a rainforest. The management were easy to work and the food was excellent and priced reasonable. Our room was clean and accommodating but would of liked softer bed. We used the pool which was kept clean and was very refreshing. The view from everywhere was... More

If you're travels bring you toward Osa on the south of the Pacific side of Costa Rica, I highly recommend staying at the Lookout near Ojochal. Mama Blanca, Uva, and their staff were endlessly helpful and accommodating during our 5 night stay. The optionally air-conditioned rooms were quiet, clean, and well placed on their spacious property, and the amenities were... More

Uwe and "Mama Blanca" were wonderful and caring hosts- as interactive or laid- back as you needed them to be. They had lots of good tips on local things to do and nice info on day trips. Brigit even helped us make phone calls to set up some of our excursions.The food was lovely and well presented. Rooms were simple,... More

We loved our stay at the Lookout! The room was great,. comfortable and clean. Views breathtaking and beautiful sunsets. The breakfast that was included with the room was incredible and the dinner was gourmet, what a chef!! After touring Cosa Rica for 6 weeks and staying at many places we would definitely return to the Lookout and highly recommend it!... More

We stopped on route to OSA Peninsula. After seeing a few disappointing hotels in the area were delighted to find the Lookout Hotel. Expansive views from the pool, restaurant/bar, and room. Plenty of wildlife. A new comfortable bed and a big shower. We were able to leave luggage here while we went to Corcovado and thoroughly enjoyed returning to this... More

Great rooms, food, hosts, pool, massages, etc. This small hotel was perfect! Very relaxing with a great atmosphere and nearby restaurants and places to see if you want to leave the property. This part of the central Costa Rica coast offered so much to do and see. We saw more birds and animals at the hotel than other national parks!... More

Stayed with my family for 3 nights.Good base for exploring this stretch of coast. Lovely colourful bright clean rooms, nice pool and superb outlook over the pacific. Very quiet and idyllic, especially in the evenings. Excellent breakfasts, restaurant meals and cocktails too. Friendly and helpful owners. This was the our favourite hotel in our two weeks in Costa Rica.

I really enjoyed every single moment I spent in Lookout hotel! It is the best place if you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday. After a couple of days I had a feeling that Birgit and Uwe were my relatives and I was visiting them in their house, not staying in a hotel. Everything turned out much better than... More
