Copa De Arbol Beach & Rainforest Resort

We had the best time at Copa de Arbol! We planned to stay only 5 days but we are so glad we added 2 extra days to our stay. We did so many activities each day, horseback riding, snorkeling, a trip to the national park, a night hike, sunset cruise and massages. We even went off on our own adventures the nearby beach and town. It was so refreshing to hear the sounds of the ocean lull us to sleep and wake with the sounds of the birds. Truly paradise on the remote Osa peninsula. And the food was so fresh every day with a great variety of fresh fish, meat, shrimps and vegetarian options too. We will miss the fruit and happy hour for sure. The staff was incredible and I would definitely recommend this destination to my closest friends and family. The rooms were slightly rustic but only to the point that you really feel submersed in the nature - all amenities were there and laundry was done for us free of charge! Definitely a way to get bang for your buck!

This is the fourth time I’ve stayed at this resort. First of all the staff is amazing more than accommodating. The food is really really good. The villas are five star. So many things to do so many places to see animals on property definitely would recommend this place 10 out of 10.

This is one of the best resorts we have ever been to. The staff is unbelievably kind, thoughtful, attentive, and helpful. One morning we missed the breakfast window and they still brought it to our room. Daniel, Henry, and Alonso were the best wait staff we have ever experienced. The reception staff Lisa and Bryan were exceptional. Lisa knew I liked a certain sauce offered at the restaurant and went out and bought some for us to take home with us. They truly treat you like family here!! Never seen anything like it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

We recently stayed at Copa de Arbol as a family with young kids, and it was hands down one of the most memorable trips we've ever taken. The resort strikes a perfect balance between luxury, adventure, and ease, and is ideal for families who want to explore nature and unwind in comfort. Without even leaving the property, we saw sloths, two kinds of monkeys, agoutis, frogs, toads, and even a rare kinkajou! The resort provides rubber boots so kids (and adults!) can enjoy the self-guided, lush jungle trails looking for animals. A huge highlight for us was exploring some of these same trails at night with a guide. Not to give too many fun surprises away but we saw some critters that glow!!! The beach is beautiful and peaceful, with incredible, deep, swimmable, tide pools full of fish and sea creatures to discover and even tiny octopus! Kayaks, a gorgeous tiered swimming pool which was a fave with the kids, and the charming poolside “shell-bell” for drink service made for endless fun. Our villa ("Palm #5") was stunning and conveniently close to all amenities. Mealtimes were a treat. There was always a surprise, colorful, fancy drink of the day, which the kids loved. Delicious multi-course meals with warm, personal service. The staff went above and beyond to make our whole family feel welcome and cared for. Copa de Arbol gave us the perfect mix of adventure, nature, luxury, and relaxation, and we’re already dreaming of going back. Highly recommend for families looking for a truly special experience in Costa Rica.

I decided to disconnect in nature for my birthday at Copa de Arbol with my wife. There is nothing better than turning off the computer, the phone and getting away from all screens! Spent the weekend in the rainforest, hoping that we might see a jaguar. Not much luck with the jaguar, but Copa del Arbol is a hidden gem for sure!! I can't thank the staff enough - from Summer in reservations, to our knowledgeable tour guide Isaac, Alfonso and Esteban in the restaurant, Francisco our boat captain. There were so many wonderful people that helped make the stay here really special - thank you! Copa de Arbol is located in one of the most incredible places in Costa Rica! This is a place where you can hike for miles along a rainforest trail that runs pasta pristine beaches and not run into a single person for hours. I can’t believe I had such a beautiful place to myself! Well, I share it with the monkeys, sloths, boa constrictors, tapirs, mountain lions, etc. lol Would come back here in a second! Thank you so much Copa de Arbol for making my birthday so special - and the chocolate cake! :)

Our stay at Copa de Arbol was nothing short of unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the incredible hospitality, breathtaking surroundings, and attention to detail in every part of the experience. The food was absolutely phenomenal—fresh, locally sourced, and thoughtfully prepared at every meal. Each dish was a highlight, and the kitchen staff went above and beyond to accommodate dietary needs while still delivering gourmet-level meals. The staff were truly the heart of the resort. Warm, professional, and always ready with a smile or helpful tip, they made us feel like family from the start. Their passion for the area and pride in the resort shone through in everything they did. The accommodations were luxurious yet in perfect harmony with the natural surroundings. Our room was private, peaceful, and beautifully designed—waking up to the sounds of the rainforest and waves was a dream come true. And the adventures! From scuba diving at Caño Island to hiking in Corcovado National Park, every excursion was expertly organized and guided by knowledgeable, enthusiastic locals who shared their love for the region’s rich biodiversity. If you're looking for an off-the-grid paradise that blends luxury with nature and authentic Costa Rican hospitality, Copa de Arbol is it. We’re already dreaming of our return!

I really cannot express how great our stay was! We loved our room and the incredible view from our windows. We loved the pool and the incredible view from it. In the middle of the rain forest, this resort is so remote that even getting there is an adventure, but it is well worth it. The staff are kind and were very forgiving of my incredibly limited and bad Spanish. They know you, call you by name, and remember your preferences. They provide you with the things you didn't know you needed, like a dry bag. When we weren't able to attend a tour we booked, they scheduled a last minute massage to replace it. To a person, everyone we met went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Things that anyone considering going here should note: 1. They aren't joking about the water landing. You are going to wade through water to get to the shore. They'll make sure your luggage is safe and dry, and I recommend taking your shoes off and just walking in on the sandy beach, but if you're short, your shorts are going to get wet. Every time. 2. There really aren't any mosquitos or other biting bugs. The ecosystem is balanced, something that is so rare it caught me by surprise, and the abundance of reptiles, spiders, and other things that eat mosquitos make them almost non-existent. 3. You're in the rainforest- there is wildlife. There are house geckos in the room that will chirp at you when you turn on the lights in the morning, there are little hermit crabs on the walkways after dark, and there are spiders on the plants. There are also incredible birds - two toucans sat outside our room every day, and macaws flew over every day. We saw hummingbirds every day. We saw white faced Capuchin and howler monkeys on property, and there are stray dogs that the staff takes care of. It's incredible and mostly harmless, but know they are there if you're not used to them. 4. The septic system is delicate and does not accept toilet paper. You put it in a basket beside the toilet. It never smelled, and it is not nearly as gross as people who have never done it might think it is, but if that's a deal breaker for you, you should know it going in. 5. Spend time talking with the staff. Their stories are amazing, and they bring Costa Rica to life in a way that is hard to grasp in any other way. We rarely go to the same place twice, and we have already reached out to book another visit. This was a truly magical experience. A special thank you to Brayan, Estaban, Lisbeth, Greivin, Daniel, and Albert for taking such good care of us. We appreciated it!

This place was incredible! We saw so much wildlife, the grounds were absolutely beautiful, and the beach was also really nice. The room was very nice, the staff were all super nice, they do a great job customizing the experience for you. The food was really good, but the portions are a little on the small side. Not a complaint by any means, just something worth noting. Our guide, Anthony, was incredibly good at spotting wildlife and very knowledgeable about it. We had an incredible time, and I hope we'll bve able to return in the future
