We just returned from our second trip to El Remanso in 2 years, and I have only excellent things to say about the lodge and its people. It really is a special place. It's very well run, is clean, with good food and excellent service. The cabins and rooms are very nice and comfortable and you can tell the owners... More

If you are in any doubt as to whether or not to travel down to the Osa, visit El Remanso and you will not be disappointed. From the day we made our first enquiry to the day we regrettably had to leave after 4 nights and an incredible 'active' package, the whole experience was simply wonderful. Primary and secondary forest... More

Of all the places I've ever stayed (and it's been quite a few), this was the hardest one to leave ever. If there's something like paradise on earth, El Remanso must be it. My family (my wife, our two daughters, 19 and 17, and myself) came here for six days end of December 2011/early January 2012. So, should you ask... More

A trip to Costa Rica has been anticipated for several years with our family of four and we initially thought that we wanted to experience the varied activities and sites of Costa Rica with an adventure tour but carrying around all my camera gear wouldn’t be that much fun. We did plenty of research and found a place which suited... More

My husband and I went to Costa Rica for 2 weeks as part of our 5th anniversary trip. El Remanso was our favorite part of our trip to Costa Rica. Everything was perfect and we absolutely loved ALL of the staff! Adriana could not have been more wonderful. We stayed in La Guinda and enjoyed seeing and hearing the monkeys... More

We are a vegetarian couple and we were happy to learn that the restaurant would be able to accommodate our diet even though the regular dinner menu didn't offer a vegetarian entree. (Breakfast and lunch menus always have a veg option.) When we arrived, Silvia explained that the kitchen always has a vegetarian dinner selection. Each day at breakfast we... More

If you are looking for a party atmosphere w/ lots of people and wild activities...don't go here. On the other hand, if you truly love nature, want to get away from it all, and have very personalized service and care, then do! We went w/ our parents (ages 65 & 66) and children (ages 14 & 11) and loved every... More

The welcome was warm and our stay so relaxed yet stimulating, that when the time came for us to move on we were very sad indeed. There is real teamwork here looking after guests and a homely but non-intrusive atmosphere. The choice of small group informative wildlife tours with El Remanso's own people in it's own rainforest were a real... More

Our trip to the Osa Peninsula was by far the most unique and adventure filled vacation that our family has taken. Our kids are 15 and 13 and they did not want to leave El Remanso Lodge. They have told us it’s the only place they ever want to vacation again! El Remanso is literally in the middle of the... More
