Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge

Most gorgeous place I’ve visited!! The most amazing staff and people there and the environment is so welcoming and fun. Definitely stayed busy with a lot of activities but also would chill at the bar around 6 before dinner with all of the other guest and that was so fun! Can’t wait to come back !

My husband and I just got back from our friends wedding at Bosque del Cabo and it was amazing! Not only did the staff greet you right away (they remembered our names throughout the entire stay which was impressive haha). The cabanas seem to be all different which was awesome, and you feel like your in the heart of the rainforest with so much wild like around you. You wouldn't think you would get good sleep, but man did we have the best sleep ever with it so dark and peaceful at night. My husband and his friend went fishing the next day which was a blast, and caught some red snapper in which the staff cooked it up for lunch that day. They truly have some great chefs onsite. Our friends had their wedding reception there and they were so accommodating for the wedding group, and also respectful of the other guests staying there as well. It was very well managed and executed. A lot of us got massages which was so peaceful, and we also went on the catamaran for 12 guests which I highly recommend. Bosque took care of our lunches and transportation, and booking it with the captain. We were gone all day and it was surreal...our boat was in the ocean with about 200-300 dolphins, then snorkelling in the beautiful teal green/blue water, and listening to music and sailing was just perfection. All in all, we had the best time with all our friends, and whether you go with friends, kids or family, there is something to do for everyone. I would give this place a 20 out of 10 if I could as the owners (Kim and Phillip) are great to work with, staff are so friendly. You are truly in the rainforest and it forces you to put down your phones/computers and really enjoy the true beauty that mother nature has to offer! Best, Samantha & Ramon Pradera

We absolutely LOVE Bosque Del Cabo. We travel a lot, both in Costa Rica and worldwide, and honestly this is one of our favorite eco-lodges in the whole world. It is the perfect combination of elegance and rainforest. The grounds and trails are teeming with animals. We saw three species of monkeys (howler, spider and capuchin), toucans, macaws, coatis and even a sloth. Our bungalow had the most gorgeous ocean view - it was absolute paradise! The food was not only gourmet but also healthy and organic. And the staff is super friendly. We will be back for sure!

I have been to Osa on various occasions and this is now my favorite jungle lodge. Tastefully designed with comfort in mind, while keeping the jungle experience authentic. The food is the best in the area. The service was impeccable, the staff set the example of the Pura vida warmth. We stayed in Casa Miramar, it had extraordinary ocean views and lots of areas to relax in. The house was perfect for 2 families. The pool was the right size; framed by the view of the jungle and ocean. Our group had kids with a wide range of ages 2-11 the kids were safe at all times and enjoyed the food and overall experience. The horsebackriding was lots of fun, even the two year old rode with me, the canopy tour was a hit! I would highly recommend this hotel.

This is a very special place. If you love nature, birds, wildlife and beautiful surroundings we highly recommend Bosque Del Cabo. The staff are knowledgeable and very accommodating - we felt like they were family. The hiking trails are plentiful and we hiked every day. We saw so many birds and wildlife that there are too many to name. Any of the adventures we did with Carlos were amazing. The food was terrific, the bar was a fun spot to hit for a cocktail before dinner. The highlight for us was watching all of the birds and wildlife right from the deck of our cabana. I can't recommend Bosque enough! Keep up the terrific work Bosque del Cabo!!!

Bosque del Cabo was one out of four spots where we have stayed during our Costa Rica Trip with our two children (8 and 5y old). And to cut a long story short - it was absolutely the best experience we have made - our personal top pick. And everything has begun with hesitations and lots of considerations..... dealing with Costa Rica we have decided quickly that the Osa Peninsula as an isolated place in Costa Rica with stunning nature is a must to include into the trip..... more time we had needed to consider where to go exactly so we had narrowed it down to La Paloma Lodge at Drake vs. Bosque del Cabo..... (pls. also read my La Paloma survey). As it was impossible to deicde between those two we have just planned to stay for eight nights in Osa and have booked both of them (5 nights BDC and 3 nights Drake Bay). And this has turned out to be the perfect choice for us! Later more I provide a short comparison. But now to BDQ. We have rented a rental car from Natcar that was brought to Drake Bay (can strongly recommend Natcar, fantastic people - so flexible and helpful!!!). BDQ does have a discount code for Natcar Bookings. Pls. check with the Lodge if you are interested..... and pls. book as much in advance as possible as price go pretty much up later. In any case you must make sure to get a 4x4 in order to access the lodge with a vehicle. Several miles are in a very bad (but adventurous) condition. Yes, we love it!!! :-) Especially as we have stayed in the isolated Casa Coco, having a rental car was compulsory for us. The Casa Coco is the most private / isolated experience you can book at BDC and it has turned out to be the right accomodation for us..... what a mind blasting experience! And we are well travelled and not easily impressed! Maybe it takes 3-4 minutes by car to go from the main reception to the house.... during daylight you can walk if you like.... we have never done. The house is situated on a wide premise with green surroundings, partial pacific view, sounds of the forest and from the pacific..... so versatile. On the premise there is also another building that includes 3 or 4 open parking places like in a carport and abviously two more little sleeping rooms if needed. I have only had a very short look into one of those as when opening the door, some bats have hectically flown out and touched me on the head so that I have closed the door quickly (yes, you should have a certain self-confidence regarding wildlife contact at such an isolated place - if so, it's an adventurous place). The main buidling itself has a huge outdoor terrace with plenty of comfortable seating, two hammocks and a pool that looks smaller on some of the pictures provided by the lodge than it actually is - well you cannot do laps but you can definitely have some fun with four people inside there. Inside the house there is a well equipped kitchen area with a big fridge and a living area with couch and couch table...... eating is only possible outside on the ter
