Outstanding rainforest retreat

If you are planning a stay in this area this retreat is a must stay. Such a beautiful piece of land on the peninsula. All of the staff are beautiful human beings and made you feel part of their family. Great wildlife, amazing accommodation, outstanding food and great experiences. Stayed only for 3 nights, however met other guests who will bo doubt become friends for a lifetime. If you need any reason to stay, there were three groups staying at the property and have been here more than 3 times. A must visit in the area.

Our family had a fantastic stay at Bosque. All the staff members were super-friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The amount of diversity of wildlife right out our front door was incredible and an experience that we will never forget! I would also highly recommend taking advantage of the guided tours and excursions that are available as each one was unique and exceptional. But make sure to also leave some time to relax or just walk the trails and explore on your own. Highly recommend!

There are vacations, and then there are vacations. This place is about as unique as they come. A few things to be aware of. First the drive from the Airport is a 7 hour drive. Be prepared for that. Once you arrive to the climb in the mountains, it can be rough. Be sure to rent the right vehicle for that. It can be a challenge to find it in the dark. Once there, it’s an absolute paradise. I stayed in the upgraded house Casa Cocoa which is absolute paradise. It has the most unbelievable view of the pacific, with the Forrest and plenty wildlife constantly from monkeys to birds, parrots, sloths , humming birds etc. The food is healthy and delicious and the staff is amazing. I can’t recommend it enough. The challenging drive and climb is well worth this experience and I would rate this vacation one of the best of my life. Go!

Bosque del Cabo is a destination in itself. Overlooking the Pacific and Gulf on the Osa Peninsula it is beautifully maintained, wildlife are all around, trails are rugged and moderate, and the staff could not be more personal and helpful. Meals are delicious We had menu choices for breakfast and lunch; dinner was a communal buffet with many options. There are cookies out and cocktail appetizers. Our cabin was perfect-a thatched spacious casita with a large bathroom and lovely outdoor garden shower. All very private. The deck had lounge chairs, hammock, table and chairs and a breathtaking view of the ocean with birds swooping all day. The owner was just wonderful and on the property and the people we met were very interesting and good company. I highly recommend Bosque! We can’t say enough good things about it. Be aware, the road to the airport and beach is a very bumpy ride and the planes from San Jose are only 10-seaters.

Highlights: - Close up photo opportunities with coatis, spider monkeys, iguanas and peccaries - Wide open and beautiful gardens to see hummingbirds, toucans, parrots and macaws - Delicious and plentiful food - Incredible staff who quickly make you feel part of the family - Wide range of walking trails from easy to tough – especially the Pacific Trail that leads to a secret waterfall hidden from the beach - At the junction of Golfo Dulce and the Pacific – so, opportunity to see pilot (and humpback) whales in season We stayed in Ylang cabina, perched 120m above the Golfo Dulce, on the edge of the jungle. Fabulous deck for watching the spider monkeys playing in the nearby tree. Spacious bedroom and lounge area. So lovely to be able to hear all the jungle noises during the night through the netted windows as this is an eco-resort run by micro-hydro and solar, so there’s no aircon (or fridge/hair-dryer) but enough power to run a ceiling fan and lights at night. What gives this resort its charm is the incredible ability of all the staff to immediately make you feel part of their family (special thanks to Glenda, Heylin, Mar and Felipe who all went the extra mile and are just charming). That and the many residents who’ve been coming back for years – who we got to know over Tico Sour cocktails at 6pm and the communal dinner (signalled at 7pm by a conch shell horn.

Such a special place in the middle of the jungle. Cabins are gorgeous, food is included and delicious, so much to do - riding on the beach, surfing, zip line, hiking, birding, night walks. With a nightly happy hour and literally the kindest staff around, a gem in the middle of the OSA.

Die Ecolodge ist schon toll, auch wenn das Areal, in dem die Lodges stehen, überall in USA auch stehen könnte, es ist dort "sehr aufgeräumt". Trotzdem ist der Aufenthalt etwas besonderes. Der angrenzende Regenwald ist riesig mit vielen Trails und einer Hängebrücke. Auch die Tiersichtungen während wir im Restaurant saßen, war wie im Kino, echt toll! Das Personal ist extrem freundlich. Wir wurden bei jeder Begegnung mit Namen angesprochen. Die Lodges lassen sich nicht abschließen, womit ich mich nachts unwohl gefühlt habe. Auch kann es durch die fehlende AC sehr sehr warm werden.

What a paradise! We spent three days (too short) in the Mariposa Bungalow. To sit on our deck, watching the Toucans, Coatis, monkeys and listening to the sounds of nature. How peaceful and serene. The bed was very comfortable, the bathroom clean (how the little critters know how to stay out is a mystery, as the shower is open-air. Pure bliss. One cannot always assume that meals at an Eco-Lodge to be 5 star, but they certainly are at Bosque del Cabo. The food was top notch and plentiful. The tuna steaks were better than those we have had in large US cities. Happy hour at the bar provided snacks, small bites and a great bar. The staff was overly friendly and helpful. We appreciate the maps to the surrounding trails, which were well marked and maintained. The pools were clean with plenty of shade umbrellas. We were happy to get internet in the library, restaurant area and pool/bar area. Please do not be hesitant with driving on the roads. We rented a Hyundai Tucson and we had no problems at all getting there. All creeks now have bridges. Yes, a 4WD is desirable due to a steep gravel road, but the roads were very drivable. Next year, we'll extend our stay! Thank you, Philip and team!

A truly magical place in the rain forest!

Bosque del Cabo is tucked away in the breathtaking rain forest of the Osa Peninsula. If you are looking for just the right combination of luxury and the Costa Rican wildlife and eco experience, I can't recommend Bosque highly enough. Phil and Kim, the owners of this incredible resort, and the amazing staff provide an unrivaled experience that exceeds expectations. The service was absolutely amazing, warm, genuine, and friendly --- a distinct feature that made our stay unforgettable. Phil personally drove us to our next destination almost four hours away! Privacy and "having the whole place (or beach) to yourself" can be easily found in the many scenic trails sprawled around the 800+ acre property, as well as the beach and waterfall just a short walk down a picturesque cliff. We literally had miles of beach and tide pools to ourselves for the entire day we chose that activity! You will likely see more wildlife on the property than in many of the tours around Costa Rica, mainly because Phil and his team have conserved the area so well (and the lack of "tourist traffic.") We saw a variety of beautiful animals walking past our deck as we enjoyed the ocean views. The on-site biologist, Phillip (same name as owner) is a also a rare gem with his incredible knowledge of the wildlife and forest plants. Highly recommend going on a guided tour with him! We will be back for sure!

The views we're spectacular. The animals, especially the monkeys, we're very entertaining. The grounds were lush and well maintained. The nature trails were great, especially the suspension bridge. The cabin was unique and well built. Loved the outside shower and the beds surrounded by airy white curtains. Even the view from inside the cabin was outstanding. The owners were great, as well as the other guests, who the owners arranged for us all to meet at Happy Hour. I loved that. My brother and I had been to CR before but this was really experiencing what it's all about.

Beautiful location, wonderful service

This is one of the most special places I have ever visited. The location was just beautiful and going to sleep and waking up to the sounds of the Pacific (and monkeys playing in the trees outside the cabin!) was amazing. The food was fantastic and extremely plentiful - you definitely won't go hungry here! The staff were really friendly and helpful and seemed to genuinely love their jobs and spending time talking to guests (thanks especially to Paula). The only things I can fault are that 1.there were a lot of spiders and webs around e.g. suspended between pool umbrellas and above the hand towel in the toilet by the bar. I know this is the rainforest but sweeping those away would be harmless for the spiders and make for a more relaxing sunbathing experience! And 2. The sheets on our beds were very damp (almost wet). I assumed this just couldn't be helped because of the climate but we talked to other guests on our last day and they hadn't suffered that problem. I know if we'd mentioned it the beds would have been changed instantly but maybe something that housekeeping could check before guests move in if a cabin has been empty for a while as I'm guessing ours had (a few cobwebs around also). Thank you for a wonderful stay, I hope to come back some day.
