"Yes the ocean was visible. We were the only guest in hotel. Shower barely spit water in you. No paper in toilet so the septic didn’t work correctly. "
"El hotel está muy bien ubicado para ir al depósito libre de Golfito. Tiene muchas amenidades disponibles, incluyendo cargador para vehículos eléctricos.
Las habitaciones Std están en un nivel inferior, un poco oscuro. Vale la pena hacer el upgrade a las habitaciones del segundo piso, tienen mejor vista y acceso.
La decoración es un poco antigua pero todo está muy bien mantenido. Definitivamente lo utilizaré cuando vuelva a estar en la zona."
"We stayed four nights in late March, 2026. Cielo Lodge is a fairly new resort in its 5th year of existence. It's a project of love by owners Keith and Nicole Goldstein. Keith was at the lodge during our stay and shared many wonderful stories about the evolution of the ecolodge. We were greeted by staff upon arrival and immediately awed by the sunset view looking over the town of Golfito and the Golfito Dulce, with the Osa Peninsula in the background. The villas are simple yet sophisticated and modern at the same time. There is no tv, ac or even glass doors on the rooms (there are screens to let in the sounds of the jungle and keep insects out)....and none were missed for even a moment. Solar power and spring water are the "utilities". The villas are comfortable, spacious and private.
The staff is all very friendly and eager to help with whatever is needed. Meals are worldclass, with exquisite attention to flavor, color, presentation and balance, using mostly if not all local ingredients. The kitchen seems to excel in knife skills, with so many dishes full of perfectly cut components. We particularly loved the Oyster Ceviche and also Zucchini Rotella with Pomodoro sauce to die for. Our servers Luigi and Moises were fabulous. Ronald was kind to drive us where we needed to be. Josue, our main tour guide and the resident naturalist, has an eagle eye and ear for the local wildlife and seems to have endless knowledge of the jungle. His English is outstanding.

"Properties located in a rainforest. There is a really beautiful property. Restaurant is great the food is amazing. Stop is really really accommodating and nice. However it is expensive at about $1200-$1300 a night, when you include the food and stay.. The only problem is that it does not have air conditioning. With the hot and humid weather not having air conditioning creates a big problem. When guests are not getting good sleep, they are not able to enjoy their day and that was a problem for us too. Her daughter was under slept the whole week, and she was cranky in the evenings. I would think that a property of this price range should offer air conditioning to the guests. I would not be returning to this property because of that issue."
"Alas, this property has seen better days. It’s not horrible, or even unbearable, but bare bones. AC was adequate for sleep but not for siesta. Beach is not inviting. Nearby bars were ok for food. We left a day early. "
"We stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. All of the lodge buildings are very sympathetically designed, and blend well with the surroundings. Everywhere is very clean and maintained to a high standard. We loved sitting on the bar stools and watching the monkeys and morpho butterflies. All staff were polite, friendly and helpful, and assisted us with booking excursions. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented, as were the cocktails! We loved the quirky bed in our cabin, and enjoyed sitting on the veranda and watching all the wildlife in the creek below - juvenile caimans, turtles, lizards, dragonflies, and my absolute favourites - hummingbirds. Listening to the orchestra of sounds at night was at night was fantastic! We did a night walk and we're amazed at our guide's knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to spot creatures that we would never have seen without him! The trails within the grounds are easy to follow, and there is so much to see - including the resident sloth - ask the staff and they will point him out to you. I was thrilled to see so many hummingbirds.
Danta Corcovado Lodge is a great place, and all staff work hard to ensure that guests are well looked after and enjoy their stay."
