Sitting in front of the hut and listing to the sound ot the forest, was the best way to enjoy the forest - true - but, we had the feeling, that we were the first guests for months. The best time of the lodge and also of Carlos the host are gone - thats obvious. So we werent really surprised... more

We took a family trip to the Corcovado Jungle Eco Lodge for two weeks last Feburary. This was an amazing experience to stay right in the middle of the rainforest. We arrived in San Jose and then took a small airplane to Drake Bay, It was different because we landed on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. We... more

Let me start by saying that we are very experienced international and jungle travelers that do not require plush accomodations. At this lodge's rates, it is in-line with other mid-range lodges. That’s the level of accommodation and meals we expected. What we had was many steps below. My exact words within two minutes after arriving were “We’re paying a decent... more

To say that our accommodations are the same as the mid-range hotels on the beach is untrue. Nowhere on the beach can you find accommodations with stocked mini bar, coffee maker, refrigerator, fans, private bath with hot water for $15 even most of the places you pay over $100 per/night don't have this and with us they were only paying...

We visited Corcovado Jungle Eco Lodge right after Christmas (2007) The adventure really began as we arrived at the Sansa Terminal at the San Jose Airport. I had never flown on a small aircraft before and was quite apprehensive but my family kept reminding me of our “ADVENTURE”! After we were in the air and my nerves were a bit... more

As advertised, the lodge is set in a patch of secondary forest on a plateau above Bahia Drake. Accommodations are simple and rustic, perfectly suited to the location and contributing nicely to the sense of being at the edge of a deep wilderness. Countless butterflies and birds, including tanagers, cuckoos, green parrots, toucans, and macaws, visit the grounds or live... more

We just got back from a stay at Corcovado Jungle Eco Lodge. The area around Drake Bay is fabulous. Rural and mostly undeveloped. I was generally satisfied with the stay, but a few things to consider: 1) More likely to appeal to backpackers. Don't expect Hilton-style accommodations. 2) A local, family business. 3) Meals are quite good and plenty of... more

This place was most disapointing. It was loud, dirty, and the food was was horrible. While there are some nice close by places, the surrounding area is bleak. Don't believe it if you are told that this place is an easy walk to the ocean. Don't believe it if you are told there is abundant wild fruit, or nuts to... more

Corcovado Jungle Eco Lodge is located in a wonderful and fascinating part of Costa Rica. It is a great place for enthusiastic bird watchers, tropical nature lovers, and off the beaten track travellers who want to experience rural Costa Rica. The Lodge is located several miles from Drake Bay on a plateau near a soon-to-open entrance to the Corcovado National... more

my friend and i stayed at Corcovado Jungle Eco Lodge for 3 nights. Carlos, our local host and guide, greeted us at the boat dock on Sierpe river. the boat went down on the mangrove river and into the ocean, which gave us a real sense of adventure. (if you are planning to go to drake bay, i highly recommend... more

Our stay at Corcovado Jungle Eco Lodge was the best EcoTourism experience we’ve had. We love Costa Rica, and have many fond memories from previous experiences. However, our stay at the Corcovado Jungle Eco Lodge is at the top of our list. My party of two adults and 5 teens had the whole three-story lodge to ourselves. The lodge is... more
