Citronela Lodge Corcovado

The property is somewhat remote and hence frequently attracts wildlife like monkeys and toucans. The quaint cabins have a small balcony facing the jungle that is very tranquil and private. Shower has open swinging window so you can shower looking out into the jungle. The staff of Erickson and his mom are amazing, with mama cooking homemade food upon request at affordable prices. They are the nicest people !

In perspective, the property is very nice, but the road to get there is pretty rough and twenty minutes from town.

The setting of the property is absolutely gorgeous in the beautiful jungle, with many opportunities to see wildlife right there. Erickson and his family go above and beyond with making the stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I was taken on an afternoon walk on my first afternoon to get to know the birds and wildlife. I went without a car and Erickson constantly helped me with taxi transfers, which they run from a separate family business. Maria, the mother, cooked delicious meals from scratch every evening (for the full duration of my 5 night stay) and it was the best meals I had in CR. All my tours were also arranged for me, which were all fantastic. Cannot recommend this place enough!

It is somewhat difficult to get around with no car, given the distance from town and how difficult to the road is to walk in the heat. However, Erickson was incredibly helpful with giving me a lift wherever possible and also scheduling paid taxi transfers through their family taxi business, at very low costs.

The lodge is about 5km away from the harbour, but the operator Erickson organized the transfer for us. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by 2 macaws and toucans. Wendy prepared our breakfast and dinner (also vegetarian) every day, even at 5am, so that we could set off on our tours feeling full. If you want to avoid the hustle and bustle of Drake Bay, this is the place for you.

This place is absolutely amazing. You feel like you are living in the jungle and the pura vida spirit at its maximum. Erikson, the manager, and his family are super nice and helpful. Erikson will help you with anything and will make your time in the peninsula very much easier. The cabans are simple but perfect. You take every day a shower just like if you were in the jungle. They also prepare very good food. All prices are very low. Highly highly recommended !

Erickson and his family were very warm and inviting, we had a lot of fun. The cabins are basic but have everything you need, comfy bed and very clean on arrival with lovely deck looking out to the jungle. Erickson can arrange transport if you need it and a traditional breakfast. They brought us coffee whenever requested. We saw scarlet macaws, toucans, and lots of birds. The grounds were beautiful and immaculately kept. We felt very welcome here.

Nothing.

Great place in the countryside, the owner's son spoke very good English, all problems were able and willing to solve. there is a warm family atmosphere. In the end I cooked dinner in the owner's kitchen alone for the whole family, we talked for a long time afterwards.....

Very sympathic host and a beautiful familiy raised lodge! Best service you can imagine. Sourrounded by only rainforest.

Erikson provided such great service, he stood out from other lodges. He is attentive, warm, and formal, my very first impression of him was that he genuinely wanted to be of service and help any way he can. The food is very good, home-cooked meals, and juices were not watered down like at many restaurants/lodges I've been to in Costa Rica. Lovely family too! For my SIM card, I got Kolbi, worked well there. Make sure you have a headlamp at night as there are sometimes fer-de-lances (snakes) there.

A small minor detail, but when I visited the nature trails were not ready yet on the property. however I did not have that expectation, and I still enjoyed my stay. Looking forward to revisiting in the future and doing night walks there!
