We had a fabulous time at El Remanso. The couple who run it are cosmopolitan and lovely, and they did their best ensure that our stay would be relaxing, thrilling, and full of surprises. From a room open on one side to the Pacific, we heard monkeys howling at dawn and saw scarlet macaws flit across our view. The food... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights at El Remanso. The location was splendid, the birding was fabulous and the accomodations were excellent. The hike down to the beach was easy but the hike back was a steep challenge. Nevertheless, it is well worth the trip as that beach is a wondrous place. We encountered a jaguarundi running along the beach... more

My wife & I have just returned from a week in Costa Rica. The 5 days that we spent at the El Remanso were magical. El Remanso is a serene and beautiful spot in the middle of the rain forest – simple but elegant rooms, friendly helpful staff, great food, and as many or as few activities as you would... more

Sometimes we like to keep something very special to ourselves. However, El Remanso is a gem of Costa Rica and needs to be shared with others. I doubt it will succumb to overexposure but remain true to its purpose. After spending the first four days of our trip in the Central Plains driving, rafting, and zip lining, we couldn't wait... more
