Best experience in my entire life. but i don't mind an "adventure" and bugs and the wilderness. You don't travel to a remote resort bordering a National Park situated on a peninsula accessible by boat and expect a 4 star hotel. I would hope for the sake of the wild there never is one in that location. Beautiful place, not... more

I use Trip Advisor alot to find out about places to stay and had checked out Punta Marenco before my trip. Nothing prepared me for how dirty and insecure the huts were and I really want to let other people know about the standard so that they don't experience the same horror. The rooms are basic, but I expected that... more

If you are looking for a remote jungle adventure you will appreciate Punta Marenco Lodge. I am not an adventurer. I enjoy my comforts and will admit that staying here was a challenge for me... a little too remote and rugged for me, though my boyfriend who is a nature photographer was thrilled by the experience. We drove to Sierpe... more

Stayed 5 days at Punta Marenco. Nothing fancy but for $65 per day including meals was a great value. The staff was very friendly and the food well prepared. The location is up on a hill overlooking Isla De Cano and behind the lodge is a 1500 plus acre virgin rainforest preserve. Pedro in who handles logistics in San Jose... more

Se also Swede1102 since I wont repete his very correct comments. We were four adults, four girls (13,14,14,15 years) and one boy (9) - all were very satisfied and rated the lodge as one of the very best we visist in four continents. Sitting on the veranda, you have a magnificent view of the ocean (if lucky you can spot... more

Punta Marenco is a great place if you want to experience the wilderness at its best. The rustic cabins are basically a cage of mosquito netting, with a thatched roof, providing air circulation. The scarlet macaws and the toucans woke us up every morning, if the other birds had not already done so. Mosquito nets do not work well as... more

My husband and I just returned from a two week trip in CR. Punta Marenco Lodge was definitely the highlight! The lodge is remote and the location incredible. Our only complaints would be a lack of safety deposit box (you have to leave valuables with manager), the unrepaired torn screens in our cabin, and the lack of life jackets on... more

My family and friends booked a trip to Punta Marenco lodge this past August. I had been there a few years before with my mom and found Corcovado and Punta Marenco lodge to be one of the most spectacular places I've ever been to, so I had to return with my dad, sister and friends. We rented a car from... more

This is one of the most beautiful and fun places I've ever been. The staff/owners were so friendly and courteous. The food was excellent and served family style with other guests who were very nice. (This was a few years ago, but I just joined Trip Advisor and wanted to comment.) The trip to Punta Marenco Lodge was half the... more
