I was so looking forward to the Osa. We had a few stays in Costa Rica but the Osa was the one I was looking forward to the most. It was late afternoon when we landed at the lovely little airstrip and were met without any hassle. I did have a slight reservation though when we were told that it... More

My son and I traveled to Costa Rica during the first week of January 2012 to create a family memory that we would share over time. The reviews of El Remansco that we read before we went seemed over the top, everything perfect. We booked our trip and traveled to El Remansco with very high expectations for a great holiday....

We just returned from our second trip to El Remanso in 2 years, and I have only excellent things to say about the lodge and its people. It really is a special place. It's very well run, is clean, with good food and excellent service. The cabins and rooms are very nice and comfortable and you can tell the owners... More

If you are in any doubt as to whether or not to travel down to the Osa, visit El Remanso and you will not be disappointed. From the day we made our first enquiry to the day we regrettably had to leave after 4 nights and an incredible 'active' package, the whole experience was simply wonderful. Primary and secondary forest... More

Of all the places I've ever stayed (and it's been quite a few), this was the hardest one to leave ever. If there's something like paradise on earth, El Remanso must be it. My family (my wife, our two daughters, 19 and 17, and myself) came here for six days end of December 2011/early January 2012. So, should you ask... More

A trip to Costa Rica has been anticipated for several years with our family of four and we initially thought that we wanted to experience the varied activities and sites of Costa Rica with an adventure tour but carrying around all my camera gear wouldn’t be that much fun. We did plenty of research and found a place which suited... More

My husband and I went to Costa Rica for 2 weeks as part of our 5th anniversary trip. El Remanso was our favorite part of our trip to Costa Rica. Everything was perfect and we absolutely loved ALL of the staff! Adriana could not have been more wonderful. We stayed in La Guinda and enjoyed seeing and hearing the monkeys... More

We are a vegetarian couple and we were happy to learn that the restaurant would be able to accommodate our diet even though the regular dinner menu didn't offer a vegetarian entree. (Breakfast and lunch menus always have a veg option.) When we arrived, Silvia explained that the kitchen always has a vegetarian dinner selection. Each day at breakfast we... More

If you are looking for a party atmosphere w/ lots of people and wild activities...don't go here. On the other hand, if you truly love nature, want to get away from it all, and have very personalized service and care, then do! We went w/ our parents (ages 65 & 66) and children (ages 14 & 11) and loved every... More
