We returned for our second visit in two years with our brother-in-law and his fishing buddy. Between the three fishermen who kayak fished, typically within eye view of Saladero, they caught 27 different species of fish--they flyfished, standing on top of the kayaks in the calm morning waters, at other times, they used lures and also bait. They had a... more

If the idea of an isolated untrampled jungle environment hits your spot, then look no further. My wife and I have been regular travellers for over thirty years and didn't believe a place of such untouched beauty still existed anymore. From the moment we arrived Harvey the owner,ever smiling Frank the boatman and Paulina our cook made us feel particulary... more

To waters clear enough to see 150 feet down-and gardens to take your... more

We stayed at Saladero for 6 nights at the end of December 2008 and had a lovely time. As have been said by others, the owner Harvey is friendly and speaks both English and Spanish. The staff are helpful and we enjoyed getting to know them (especially Paulina the cook and all around go-to-person). We stayed in the Beach House... more

The owner of this lodge, Harvey, was very helpful from the start. I had complete confidence in our vacation before it even began. The property is gorgeous and well-maintained. Harvey speaks english, and the staff only speak spanish. Communication was not difficult though, and everyone was very friendly and helpful. We were on the meal plan during our stay, and... more

We knew in advance that the Golfito area is very tropical with lots of rain forest. What made the experience fun was the attitude of the owner and his staff. The owner Harvey,... more
