SCP Corcovado Wilderness Lodge

Corcovado Wilderness Lodge went above and beyond my expectations. The location is stunning: ocean, mountain, inspiring sunsets, unexpected critter spotting and fantastic trees. I am still reliving the collection of amazing moments at the lodge. I was picked up by Anthony and Jason at Drake Bay; Chef Pablo and his fantastic team served lunch. The culinary offerings were truly memorable from breakfast to dinner- I am still relishing over the medium-rare Lomito, Mahi-Mahi over sweet plantain, the grilled pineapple desserts, and the ever-present ceviches. I highly recommend the Tico Breakfast on the Corcovado Park half-day visit. Wear long sleeves and pants for dinner, as insects do come out at night. CWL offers an array of activities including snorkeling, kayaking, scuba diving and tailored forest visits. I was more than happy with the complimentary excursions (4 hours Corcovado Hike; 45 minutes Cotinga loop) and did other hikes on my own (Rainforest trail and Beach trail, each approximately 45-60 minutes). The hammock row at the end of the beach became my favorite spot. CWL offers boots and sticks: take them. The trees are exuberant all throughout the property: you will lose yourself in total contemplation. I spotted coatíes, tapires, hummingbirds, bobos, pavones, squirrel monkeys, and dozens of blue Morpho butterflies. I did not see the pumas, which means I will have to go back. Ocean bungalow 22 transported me to a paradisiacal state: beholding the jungle, the sky and the sea was totally hypnotic and restorative. It was a real privilege to stay at Corcovado and commune with its sublime natural ecosystem and its terrific hospitality team. Thank you for an amazing vacation. Pura Vida!!

The lodge was set in the most beautiful location. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff was so kind and accommodating. I was able to do quite a few excursions around the property that were very enjoyable, although it was raining. The pool area was very beautiful. The food was very delicious; you can tell they chef made everything with love. The lodge itself was breathtaking, but the people who worked there made it feel magical.

If you are looking for a getaway. Corcovado Wilderness Lodge is the perfect place to stay. The staff is top notch. They take care of you and you do not have to stress about anything. Every worker is kind and goes beyond. Justin, Angie, Pablo, Karol, Diana and all the staff área amazing. And talking about the views and the food I cannot describe with words how great it is.

Probably the best wildlife lodge we stayed in. The staff were incredibly friendly with a huge shout out to one of the guides Mikey who always went the extra mile on all the tours he led. The food was brilliant, the service fantastic. The trails around the lodge were well kept and teaming with wildlife.

The lodge and its staff are fantastic. The service is standout, from housekeeping to the restaurant to the guides. Special thanks to Angie, Edward, Justin, Karol, Harvey and TB for helping to make this a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The food from chef Pablo and his team is excellent, and the fact that it's included makes the hotel good value. As well as walks around the property we did the tree nest experience with Maria and Jose - this is a really magical way to see the forest and they're lovely people to hang out with in the treetops! |Service, food, room quality are all five out of five but there were two negative aspects of our stay. One was some miscommunication regarding costs of activities which resulted in a nasty surprise at check out, and the other was a very rushed experience for one of our excursions (we think because the guide had another commitment after us).

Only accessible by boat, but worth it! Staff are all amazing and you are right next to Corcovado National Park. We saw 2 pumas on the property the first day! Great night and day nature hikes with our guide Edgar who was very knowledgeable and very attentive to all our needs.

Visiting in the Green Season worried us a little bit, but our trip coincided with a school drop off, August it was. The weather was actually not bad, with some typical tropical rains allowing us to catch up on reading and downloaded movies, but what an amazing experience we’ve had.|If you love wildlife this is definitely a must-visit place. Whales this time of year are practically a give when you go out on a snorkelling/diving boat trip to Caño Island and on boat trip from the airport to the lodge (wet landing). Early morning walks around the gorgeous laid-back lodge alone allowed for plenty of sightings of coati’s, spider and howler monkeys, a tapir, agouti’s, birds including macaws, humming birds, toucans, night walks with spiders, frogs and so on. We went on a diving trip to Caño Island with terrific dive master Jimmy and his skipper. While the reefs are nice, we saw the most amazing animals including plenty of white tip sharks, several sting rays including an enormous one, moray eels, and different species of turtle. Visibility was less due to the weather, but we had a very relaxing dive (doable for all levels). The jungle hike was nice as well. And we enjoyed the most wonderful facials from Catharina in a bungalow overlooking the sea, truly magical. Sunsets are a highlight; between 5 and 6 relaxing on the Terra terrace under the care of Justin and friends with every night another spectacular display. A very happy place mostly due to its outstanding staff; from the front desk with Maria Jose to the wonderful restaurant staff including wonderful barman Eduardo and Justin, cook Pablo and the rest of the strong team. We loved our spacious airconditioned room where we relaxed between activities and the pool. Meals are local and simply delicious food. We tried a lot of cocktails, in short a perfect 5 days. We would recommend to stay at least 3 nights, 4 days; for us 5 nights was great. Thank you to the entire staff for making this such a special unforgettable experience

I will start by saying I travel often and spent a week in different areas of Costa Rica and this location and hotel was the best stay and is top 5 hotel overall for me. I arrived to Sierpe and was greeted with friendly smiles and Diane even walked with me to get lunch from a local restaurant. There is a journey getting to the hotel including an hour boat ride. To help make the ride more pleasurable we did a mangrove guide and saw wildlife. We experienced some rain during the ride but were given really nice quality raincoats. Once you arrive to the hotel you will be greeted with more welcoming smiles and a refreshing washcloth. The overall atmosphere of the hotel is secluded , quiet and surrounded by wilderness. The view of the ocean view room was amazing I watched the sunset every night. The room was very clean and had all the amenities! During my 4 hour hike my clothes placed in a hamper were washed and folded very nicely! Food and an excursion is included. The food menu is limited but there are good options. Alcoholic drinks are not included but I ordered my usual Long Island and to my surprise it was very good and not watered down like most hotels. I chose to do the hike and my guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We got to see a lot of animals! The entire staff was super friendly and made me feel very at home and comfortable! 100/10 recommend booking!
