Finca la Bonita, Playa Carate

All food was extra. The breakfast was very good.

It was further from the hike to La Leona than I thought and I didn't have a car, but the owner Cristian (who was kind and helpful and interesting to talk to) gave us a ride there, so no problem. Honestly, it is definitely walkable, but it would be a chunk to add on if you were coming or going all the way to Sirena. The beach and lagoon at Carate is easy to walk to, though

Isolated screened-in, open air cabanas overlooking jungle. Great jungle birding. Great local food must be booked ahead.

Be prepared for a rough road in from Puerto Jimenez, no air conditioning or refrigerator.

The place is for nature lovers. We felt like in the middle of the jungle with nobody around us. Bungalows are up in the hills, very basic, not well insulated, there were bugs inside, no hot water. The kitchen is not available for the guests to use. We had to take your trash back with us.

The location is in the middle of the forest, near the Corcovado national park. You are surrounded by monkeys and other wildlife. The howler monkeys wake you up in time for your Corcovado trip 😊

We really enjoyed this place, so for us there was nothing that we didn’t like. However, it is good to know that there are limited facilities (for example, just 1 lightbulb, limited to no refrigerator space and shops are restaurants are more then 1 hour drive away). Being prepared for this, makes it a great experience.

Place, surrounding, wildlife was stunning! We saw more animals than on the Corcovado NP tour! Team was very nice and helpful and prepared us delicious meals 😃

The Lodges are placed in a beautiful „Jungle garden“. You can feel and see the rainforest from this Location. The owner is a really nice, friendly and helpful guy. He is a local who knows many trails around corcovado and can tell you many interesting things about this place! Food was awesome, cooked by himself or his neighbour for a good price. Lodges are basic, you get everything you need and its clean. Dont expect a 5-star hotel, this is not the right place for this! You have to feel the rainforest, and therefore its the right place! Stayed there 4 nights and can highly recommend it!

The place corresponds to the description/pictures. It’s fully in the nature but offers electricity in the rooms +good WiFi. Breakfast lunch and dinner have to be booked in advance (I recommend you to do it as there is nothing around) and consider that you don’t get to chose what to eat (food was good).

The owner (who was also the guide for our walks at night and in Corcovado) is very serious and of a few words. Don’t expect him to explain you something, unless you ask (and even if you do, the answers are always very dry). Not sure there is anything to do apart from the night walk and the Corcovado trail as he did not explain anything about the area.

This place is a hidden gem! A rustic cabin with the basic facilities you need to experience the jungle up close and immerse yourself in nature. Christian and Gabriel, along with Marley the dog, are welcoming local hosts who have a huge amount of insight, history, and knowledge to share. They offer different tours, and we recommend all 3 we did - the day tour in Corcovado, kayaking, and night turtles. They also offer meals if you let them know in advance (there are no easy options locally, so we'd highly recommend), and this made the stay really easy too. This cabin is for those looking to experience the jungle on their doorstep (literally!), if you are after a luxurious stay there are eco lodges nearby, but for an authentic experience (and possibly stepping out of your comfort zone) we would 110% recommend staying here. Thank you for an amazing experience :)

Not a complaint, just to make others aware - you will need a 4x4 to access the property and wouldn't recommend to attempt the road (and river crossing) at night.
