Information in their web page is a big lie.
The dyrtiest and ugliest place I have ever seen in my life and I use to travel a lot.
they request to pay in advance the stay, the meals and excursions, waste of money.
There were more good and of course more cheeper places to stay in drake bay.
I recomend not go to Corcovado Jungle or you will be deceed.

Staying at the Jungle Eco Lodge is like camping with the rough edges taken off. We stayed in one of the bungalows, which was a shack in the jungle. At least you don’t have to set up a tent, and there is a bed and small bathroom under a roof. We asked for a new mosquito net because the old one had holes and even though there are very few mosquitoes, there are plenty of other flying and crawling insects that get into the shack, such as beetles and cicadas. The bathroom is very basic with a single light bulb, small sink, a flush toilet, and a shower with a trickle flow electric showerhead water heater that trips the circuit-breaker every few minutes. The bungalows and the tree house are tolerable because they have some airflow ventilation. The standard rooms are dark and mildew infested. Don’t stay there or you could develop mold allergies. The rooster next door crowing all night long was a real problem, even with earplugs.

The three meals a day were basic, but good. Lots of fresh fruit and juices, rice and beans, some fish and shrimp. Almost like health food, no fat whatsoever. Some days cornflakes for breakfast was rather meager.

Carlos is an excellent trail guide. He sees everything and knows a lot about the jungle and ocean. He’s friendly and helpful, and an understated asset to the Corcovado Jungle Eco Lodge. It is not safe to hike in the jungle by yourself due to the poisonous reptiles, spiders, bugs and animals. We felt like we were in very safe hands with Carlos as our guide.

Management has let the lodge infrastructure decay. The workers spent their time gardening when there were lots of repairs to be made. The isolation from the village is a problem. It’s too far to walk (45 minutes or more) on a very rough road, and a taxi is expensive if you want a ride there. Most people in the village do not own cars and use horses as their main mode of transportation.

We heard lots of jungle animals, but they are incredibly difficult to see. The foliage is thick and they are very shy. The best bet to see scarlet macaws is on the beach at San Josecito. We did enjoy the peaceful feeling of sitting outside our shack listening to the jungle sounds.

The advertised 3-tank scuba dive was really only two tanks. It was hardly world class, as advertised. The water was so murky that you would never see anything just snorkeling. We saw several white tipped reef sharks and other interesting marine life.

Our San Josecito tour did not include the advertised "gigantic forests teaming with wildlife and lush jungle canopy with a gallop down sandy pacific beaches or a swim in Rio Claro or a waterfall tour in canoe or kayak". What we did was have lunch on the beach.

Overall, it was a good trip, but their website does not properly convey the spartan state of the lodging and overpromises what is delivered on the tours.

From the website, my girlfriend and I were very much looking forward to our time at the Eco Lodge, and were happy to pay a relatively large sum of our budget towards the accomodation and activities in advance. On arrival, it was clear that all was not as had been promised. We were met by a man who spoke no English, and forced to pay for the transfer which was meant to have been included in the price we had already paid. The room we stayed in was dank, and the towels and sheets had clearly not been changed prior to our arrival. In fact, they were not changed throughout our brief stay, nor was our bin emptied. The room was dusty and covered in cobwebs. There was no running warm water, and all of our clothes by the end of our stay were damp from just being in the room. We were also not supplied with a bed net, and only managed to acquire a spare from one of the other guests. There was no fridge, coffee machine or safety deposit box, all of which were promised on the website. We were promised on the website buffet meals, in fact we ate what we were given for breakfast and dinner. Towards the end of our stay (we did leave a night early), the police had to be called to deal with a drunk local, who was the same person who met us on the first day (but according to the owner, did not work at the Lodge) because he was threatening the owner with a machate. The final straw was when the owner cancelled a trip we had organised for ourselves without telling us. We moved out of the Lodge after this, and stayed a night in Drake Bay. Since then, we have voiced our compalints with the owners, and they agreed to refund us $250. This has still not been received, and I am now unable to get any sort of response from them.

Please, if you do anything in Costa Rica, do not spoil what will no doubt be a wonderful trip by staying at this lodge. It will leave you frustrated, disappointed and feeling ripped off!

This was our trip of a lifetime, 5 weeks to the wildlife paradise of Costa rica to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Getting to the Osa pensinsula from Sierpe by water taxi was the beginning of what we thought would be THE place to be, in one of the Top End hotels for Corcovado.
Meeting Carlos off the boat we embarked on the 4x4 trip to the lodge. When we arrived we were shown to our room - which was little more than a rotting shed. The wooden bed frame had termites building up each leg, and running across the doorway. The bamboo walls were wet and rotten, and the wall behind our bed was so mouldy that breathing in spores all night made your chest sore. The shower was a dripping pipe, we told Carlos that it was cold and he apparently fixed it by messing with some wires outside. It was warm for a few minutes, when I tried to adjust the temperature on the shower head I got an electric shock!! We did have a fridge and coffee maker that both worked, but had to ask for the items to make a drink. we love all wildlife, even creepy crawlies but the holes in the walls for things to get in were slightly alarming. The mosquito netting around the top of the shed was broken in several places, the bathroom sink was not attached to the wall and closing the door to the bathroom caused the whole wall to move! We were supplied with a mozzie net over the bed although it was filthy and full of holes. Everything smelt damp. We were so disappointed and couldn't believe we actually had to sleep in there!
We had paid for 3 nights with the 4th night free but wanted to leave immediately.
To top it all, in the morning we were told that we had only paid half (to Marna, Carlos's wife who actually lives in Canada) and Carlos was expecting us to pay another $465 !!
We couldn't believe that they wanted nearly $1000 for less quality lodgings than most hostels, this did include some pre-booked tours. After telling Carlos that we couldn't pay that, he cut out 2 tours and we stayed 3 nights only - but we still had to pay another $180 on top of the $465 pre-paid to Marna. We were basically trapped as we couldn't get off the island without Carlos arranging it. We were well and truely conned out of a lot of money.
The open-plan restaurant was great as all insects could join us and we could hear all the sounds of the jungle - Carlos's tales of Pumas and Jaguars, and the frightened cat that was recovering from a Puma attack made for exciting evenings. When I asked for black tea I was given a packet of very mouldy teabags!! However, when I showed Carlos he did come back from the village with a new box. The lady and her children that cooked and brought our meals could not do enough for us, the food was an acquired taste and we were starving after two days.
A meager sandwich and banana supplied for an all day excursion was less than expected for $70 per day for all meals.
The two tours we did were all day horse-back riding , through muddy trails, knee-deep river crossings and along the beach front where the horses drank seawater! The other was an all day trek through the jungle with Carlos - this was rainforest of the purest form, it was a shame that it poured with rain all day so no animals were seen but we did expect rain in October.
It is fair to say that Carlos did everything he could to make the best of a bad job, we talked for hours about the locality, tales of jungle animals, his life and family, and we had very mixed feelings by the end of our stay. We do feel that we really experienced life in the jungle - more basic would only have come from a tent!
When you look at the website for the Eco Lodge it sounds fantastic, notice though that there are no photos of the lodge. The Lonely Planet guide bills this accommodation as Top End - it is way overpriced and was by far the worst accommodation and facilities we experienced on this 5 week adventure in Costa Rica. If you had paid $10 a night you would expect this type of place, we certainly would not recommend it to all but the most intrepid of explorers. Certainly an experience we won't forget.
