LagunaVista Villas, hotel in Carate

Offering an outdoor pool, beautiful gardens and a bar-restaurant, LagunaVista Villas is located 656 feet from the beach by boat or kayak across the lagoon.

Visiting Lagunavista Villas is definitely a rainforest/ocean get away. The rooms are wonderful and very private. You are close to nature with incredible views. The meals are very good and served family-style with other guests or separately, if that is your preference. The staff is excellent and your hosts, Greg and Keiko, are warm and inviting. It's a bit like being invited into their home with lots of great conversation, music, and stories. They were very attentive and helpful in setting up activities for us when needed. It is a remote resort - perfect to disconnect (for the most part; they do have wireless) and get to know the creatures of the rainforest. Daily appearances by monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, and coatis add to the entertainment. We had a great time.

Hacienda Rio Oro, hotel in Carate

Hacienda Rio Oro is offering accommodations in Agua Buena. This campground provides free private parking, bicycle parking, and free Wifi. Guests can access the campground via private entrance.

Hacienda Rio Oro is a great place to take a day to rest after you get out from Corcovado. It's a glamping site, sitting in the back yard of what used to be a cattle ranch. It's completely isolated from anything else, a 45 minute walk to the nearest beach you can swim in, and about an hour drive from Puerto Jimenez. You can hear the hauling mankeys early in the morning. The staff is very welcoming and will gladly attend to all your needs. The food is different in every meal and is simply delicious. I recommend to take the kayak tour they offer which will take you to the lagoon located in their back yard (which is much much bigger than it sounds) and you can end the tour on an isolated, beautiful beach, looking at one of the best sunsets you'll see.

Finca Sueno de Osa, hotel in Carate

Finca Sueno de Osa has a restaurant, bar, a garden and terrace in Puerto Jiménez. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service.

The place is amazing in pristine rainforest and surrounded by nothing but nature. There is many trails maintained by the owner to make sure you can explore the rainforest. The drive to the place needs a 4wd but is also a great opportunity to spot wildlife (toucans, macaws, monkeys, etc...)

This is a workimg cacao and vanilla farm using green methods. We took the tour and they pitched it at a high level because we want to use their ideas in Papua new Guinea. Fantastic experience. Romantic. Garden of Eden. While Sand beach nearby deserted tropical paradise but with store nearby for drinks. Lots of birds, monekeys, fruit, plants - wonderful.

    Carate is located at a very nice spot on the ocean with endless, empty beaches. It is not a very easy place to travel to as a consequence of which it is a very quiet little village without any facilities.

    My wife loves Playa Carate, and enjoyed her time at this lodge. (I went along as good hubbie, as nature is not my thing, so these are her views). The cabin we had was rustic but spacious, set in the rain forest and with a great view. 3 types of monkey could be seen,and she reports the birding was very good. We stayed 3 nights, and went to the same spot on the beach each day. Carate is definitely the place to see macaws. My wife also loves its remoteness and isolation.

    This is the perfect place for nature lovers looking for some peace and quiet surrounded by gorgeous nature abundant with wildlife! We heard and saw spider monkeys, howlers monkeys. capuchin monkeys, Scarlet Macaws and toucans daily. We also saw tracks of tapirs. Knowing that big cats roam the premises adds even more to the appeal of this wonderful place. Yes it is a bumpy road to get to Carate but that is a good thing. It keeps the crowds away and the wildlife safer.

    Luna Lodge is a beautiful place with an amazing staff. The lodge has a comfortable environment centered around a pool and restaurant/common area that sit comfortably in the forest. Toucans, Scarlet Macaws, and monkeys are frequent visitors and easily viewed. Great meals with vegetarian/ non-vegetarian options are included with many ingredients grown on site. We spent 5 days over the Christmas holidays and it was the highlight of our time in Costa Rica.

    Very nice setting directly on the beach, very friendly staff, loved the variety in meals, relaxing sound with the waves, private outdoor showers, easy arrangements for guided trips at day or at night, great to encounter the service of bringing our luggage from Carate to the lodge as it is a 3.5km walk on the beach. Good starting point to go into Corcovado NP.

    The location makes this place great. Take advantage of the yoga hut on the top of the mountain - it has the most amazing views. We really liked the hiking trails on the property, and the road to the hotel (although a bit scary) is extremely beautiful, you won't regret it.

    Great location. Natural setting surrounded by pristine rainforest. Cristhian, the host, is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He’s a true local, and an expert on the Osa Peninsula. Views from the cabins are fantastic.
