Delfin Amor is the real deal. In a world where every other hotel slaps on the 'eco' label to attract tourists, Delfin is one of the few actually committed to the concept. It felt so good to be in a place where I could see wildlife (both in the forest and on the water) and know that I was doing... More

We stayed at Delfin Amor June 2006. We were a group of four adults and 2 children, ages 6 and 10. It was an adventure from start to finish. The flight in to Drake Bay Airport was a story we are telling to this day--torrential downpour on a dirt landing strip rolling our bags through the mud to a terminal... More

We shoulda known when we saw the restrictive cancellation policy. It was my fourth trip to Costa Rica (my favorite place on the planet), and we were going to one of the more adventurous, undeveloped jungle areas--we were really excited. But only moments after we arrived at the Defin, we were informed that our *all-inclusive meals didn’t include all--or any!--meat.... More

Wow, Wow, Wow....the lump in my throat and the chills that I get every time I think about my stay at the Delfin Armor Eco Lodge at Drake Bay in Costa Rica do not cease.

Arriving at the site was an adventure in itself. We were driven across three rivers due to washed out bridges. The last foot of the journey involved getting in and out of the boat in the water - no dock facilities. The cabins are small but generally neat and clean, however the electricity is intermittent. We had no lights or... More

Our family just completed an amazing adventure to Costa Rica and Delfin Amor, so we are all contributing to this review. From start to finish, it was an amazing trip - we loved our jungle arrival (tiny plane to jeep to boat), the beautiful scenery, the incredibly friendly staff and knowledgeable tour guides, the awesome food, our fellow guests, and...

I just returned from a week stay at the Divine Dolphin lodge in Drake Bay, Costa Rica. I took a small group there to enjoy nature and the Dolphins, Whales and Turtles. The week was so filled with wonder, beauty and fun that we couldn't believe it. The Costa Rican staff made me feel like a queen. The service was... More

The lodge location is beautiful with good snorkeling in front and a variety of local wildlife. The tour guides were the best anywhere. The accomodations were adequate with the cabinas and bathrooms being mostly screened. However, large gaps at the top allowed in all sorts of critters including tarantulas, scorpions, roaches, and grasshoppers. My disappointments were three-fold. First, the food... More

Just came back from 2 weeks in C.R. This was our 4 th time there and always travel around the country. Altogether, we have stayed at 20+ different places over the years and this is definitely not worth the money. All the other guests and we did not know that The menu is 100% vegetarian except for fish once in... More
