My wife and I spent a glorious week at the El Remanso lodge on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. The experience from start to finish was exceptional. We began with a flight from San Jose to Puerto Jimenez on Naturair. The flight provided beautiful views of the Costa Rican countryside and the Pacific Ocean. The El Remanso staff greeted... more

My wife & I have just returned from a week in Costa Rica. The 5 days that we spent at the El Remanso were magical. El Remanso is a serene and beautiful spot in the middle of the rain forest – simple but elegant rooms, friendly helpful staff, great food, and as many or as few activities as you would... more

Sometimes we like to keep something very special to ourselves. However, El Remanso is a gem of Costa Rica and needs to be shared with others. I doubt it will succumb to overexposure but remain true to its purpose. After spending the first four days of our trip in the Central Plains driving, rafting, and zip lining, we couldn't wait... more

This place is amazing! We just stumbled across it after a 4 hour taxi ride from Sierpe. We were in luck that they had room. This is the nicest of the 5 places we stayed between Drake bay and this side of the peninsula. We had the best time woundering around the primary rain forest. The wild life here is... more

We'd travelled all over Costa Rica yet, a beautifull country with an amazing landscape. Still we were looking for a place to throw the rest of our rushy lifestyle away. At El Remanso we finally found the peace and tranquility we were looking for. And besides that, stunning nature, animals, birds, deserted beaches, lagoons, waterfalls and excellent food. The lodges... more

I believe that as a traveler you really need to understand where you are going so that you can make good choices for successful trips and expect what you get. When traveling to... more

* The El Remanso jeep and staff greeted me at the Puerto Jimenez airport with a smile and great service. The 40 minute ride to the gorgeous El Remanso property included stops to see owls, monkeys, and other animals. The Osa Peninsula is pristine and gorgeous. You can't find a better location. * The staff at El Remanso is highly... more

My boyfriend and I visited Costa Rica for the first time at the end of January. After some extensive research, we decided to head to the Osa Peninsula after a few days in the La Fortuna area. We were hoping to have a few "touristy" days and then 4 days of relaxing in a remote, unspoiled location that was away... more

My wife and I have traveled extensively, including two prior trips to Costa Rica. El Remanso was the best experience we have ever had. The owners, Daniel and Adrienne, are exceptionally helpful and their staff is warm and welcoming. The property is amazingly beautiful. The neighboring property, Bosque de Cabo, is more groomed and refined and acccomodates more guests, but... more
