Family hotels and homes in Carate

Elizabeth United States

Location in the trees of the Costa Rican jungle, perfectly private, outdoor cold (but not too cold) shower under trees. Wildlife in abundance, from howler and spider monkeys in the trees above the cabin; to agoutis, leaf-cutter ants, various lizards and amphibians, crabs below it, plus stunning butterflies, toucans and scarlet macaws - one wonder after another. Christian is a kind, helpful, professional bilingual host, extremely knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, first-class tour guide and able to fix anything. Meals all prepared from fresh ingredients. My favorites were the breakfast fruits and dinners with avocados and freshly-caught fish. All staff was friendly and accommodating. It was the most peaceful, rejuvenating week I've ever had.

Every meal was just delicious, and the amount of food is enough for any appetite. Coffee/tea always readily available. Boots, walking sticks and umbrellas also available to everyone. Our party got upgraded from tents to bungalows, as we were the only people checked in for our 3 night stay - something we really appreciated (thank you Raquel!!!). The location is simply breathtaking, and the drive up to the lodge is something out of a movie. Just bear in mind you need a 4x4 vehicle with a high suspension to get there. The staff were all so friendly and accommodating- I cannot thank them enough for how they treated us and made the stay very, very pleasant. We did a hiking tour with Marue (I'm sorry for the spelling if incorrect), which was super special! All-in-all, Luna Lodge is a bucket list stay and a must if staying in this area!

The view from our room was stunning. We saw monkeys, Macaws and crocodiles (from a safe distance!). A truly wonderful experience.

Hacienda Rio Oro is a great place to take a day to rest after you get out from Corcovado. It's a glamping site, sitting in the back yard of what used to be a cattle ranch. It's completely isolated from anything else, a 45 minute walk to the nearest beach you can swim in, and about an hour drive from Puerto Jimenez. You can hear the hauling mankeys early in the morning. The staff is very welcoming and will gladly attend to all your needs. The food is different in every meal and is simply delicious. I recommend to take the kayak tour they offer which will take you to the lagoon located in their back yard (which is much much bigger than it sounds) and you can end the tour on an isolated, beautiful beach, looking at one of the best sunsets you'll see.
