This was one of the best vacations I have ever had. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone who wants to experience the Osa peninsula. This lodge is remote, but the staff go out of their way to make this an enjoyable experience for all. I would recommend this lodge to anyone who wants a nice,quiet experience with a bit of adventure added in. Be aware that this is a secluded place and all of the usual hotel amenities may not be available to you. You should come prepared for the humid temperature and the rugged terrain. If you want a pampered Club Med experience, this is not for you. If you want to see the natural beauty of the Osa Peninsula and experience the wild with an experienced guide (Jorge is wonderful!), this is for you. The food was better than expected. I loved the Pinto gallo, and the plaintains! I've been looking for recipes on the web since I returned.
Please consider this lodge if your travels find you in the Osa Peninisula. I will return many times!!!! Thank you wonderful staff! I'll remember this experience forever.

This was our first impression of Costa Rica.

Its was a wunderfull time, we came from Holland and Punta Marenco was our first stay.
We had a room with ocean viewm, splendid.

The food was basis but good and well organised.
The owner of the lodge gave us a refund without asking.
The tour to Corcovado was not possible on our first day, so the second day we dit this tour. The snorklingtrip was cancelld, therfore the refund.

The surrounding of the property is splendid, it is only very dark outside whne you go to the restaurant in the evening.

My wife and I had a wonderful time exploring the Osa Peninsula at the Punta Marenco Lodge. Our bungalow was breezy, clean and comfortable with a deck with hammock and view overlooking the ocean and Cano Island to the west (sunsets were gorgeous!). Meals and hospitality were excellent. Especially helpful in organizing our activities and tours was Ileana, the owner, who got us a very knowledgeable and keen naturalist guide to show us the amazing wildlife and plants in Corcovado NP. We are very grateful to her and her lodge for making our visit to the Osa so nice.

i wanted to tell you about my trip to the most amazing place on earth that me and my family ever saw.
when we saw the pictures at the travel agency, we decided immediately that we need to visit this place.
one of the things wich is very special about this place is the way to go there, you need to take a boat wich is taking you in a nice river that leads you out to the pacific ocean.
when we arrived to punta marenco beach, the staff welcome us in a really nice way and took all our gear to the lodge.
when we saw the lodge we where so amazed from the way the cabins built, its built in an indian style and look so amazing on the backround of the pacific ocean.
in the moment we arrived ileana the owner of the lodge(a beutiful person) show us the place.
after we saw the place, lunch was ready and the food in the beutiful lodge restaurant with a view to the ocean was a delicious tipical costarican food.
i most say that the combination between a beutiful,comfortable cabin and a nice crew that take care of everything you need was just perfect.
one of the best feeling we had was to wake up in the morninig to the sound of a beutiful birds ,and the sounds of the ocean and drinking the coffe of the morninig in the porch while dolphins jumping in the ocean in front of you.
after a week there it was really hard to leave this place, but we all knew that we defintly comming back and soon as possible.
thank you punta marenco lodge
pura vida
