If you are looking for a place away from it all where you can unwind and get lost in sound of the crashing waves and Costa Rican jungles, then this is it. The Inn is nestled on the side of a steep hill, at the end of the road on the Osa Peninsula and offers a very fun environment to... More

We were coming to Costa Rica every year for nearly 15 years by now. Almost each time we come to stay at the Lookout Inn in Carate. Staying there is always a remarkable and unique experience. The location of the inn, nestled in the hills overlooking the beach, invites great views of the ocean and is always a prime spot... More

First of all Carate Beach is at the very end of the road before Corcovado. If you don't know about the amazing biodiversity of this area you need to look it up. Because it's on the end of a bumpy dirt road Carate is not a tourist zoo yet as many parts of Costa Rica have become. The Lookout is... More

My husband, 11-year-old daughter and I stayed at the Lookout Inn for 5 days and 4 nights late March/early April. As soon as we checked into our 'room', we were in love with the place. We were expecting it to be breathtaking from the website, but it exceeded our expectations. We stayed at what they called The Spa (referred to... More

One of our best family vacations ever. We went to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with our two kids and stayed in the Monkey House. Terry and Katia were great with us and all of the guests and created a really unique environment. Among other things, we really loved the roast pig on the beach on New Year's eve! More

My husband and I have been travelling to Costa Rica for 12 years now, and we have visited the OSA peninsula 3 times. We have seen most parts of this beautiful country, but I will say, hands down, The Lookout Inn is without a doubt one of the most beautiful places we have ever visited! From the moment we arrived,...

My husband and I stayed at the Lookout Inn with my family (parents & siblings & partners) this past February and had the time of our lives. It is the perfect place to travel with friends and family. **Gay friendly** From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, you are welcomed with such warmth, attention and care. Terry... More

We stayed 2 nights in a Tiki-Tent and really enjoyed the experience of sleeping "open" to the jungle. A fabulous experience - pounding surf and a joyful dawn chorus - ear-plugs a must for light sleepers though! The owner is brusque and quite rude and it was impossible to relax when he was around. The road from Puerto Jimenez would... More

This was our third trip to the Lookout Inn, this time with our three adult sons and their partners. Everything you need to know has been covered in other visitors' reviews. What I especially appreciate about this place is that there are always staff there whom we've met on our previous visits, and they become friends. The guests who book... More
