I just finished my third stay at La Leona Eco Lodge. The location, right next to the sea, and La Leona entrance to Corcovado National Park is utterly captivating! The cabinas are immaculate and lovely. The staff are hardworking, helpful and kind. Great food, and spectacular location, make La Leona the ultimate tropical paradise!

Real rainforest experience

this is an extraordinary locally owned platform cabin lodge in the rainforest next to the major national park with the most biodiversity in all Central America. Dispite the challenging location our room with Erie clean, no mold ( a rainforest problem) and fun. With an outdoor shower and a beautiful trail leading to it with candles along the way. They're very basic amenities as expected in a remote launch. The people were extraordinarily nice and fascinating. We will be going back and StayIng in Touch. it is low-key and not overbearingly fancy with the resources that you need and cool animals walking by in the evening and amazing birds in the morning and a beach view that is unbelievable!

Very difficult to get to - hour and a half of bumpy roads to Carate, then a 3.5k hike. The logistics were not well communicated, but worked out fine. Hot (mid-April visit). The grounds are pretty special with spider monkeys frolicking in the trees right above the tents and ocean waves supplying 24-7 white noise. The guided hike into the National Park was underwhelming - the wildlife was superb, but you only skirt the periphery of the park and don't get to really explore the old growth.

A very special place

You are in a remote lodge where you hike in for 45 min to 3 hours depending on how many animals( monkeys, anteaters, scarlet macaws) you stop to watch. A horse cart brings in your luggage. There is no air conditioning, hot water or wifi but the food is fantastic and the smoothies delicious. There several activities available including a tour of Corcavado NP, night hikes and turtle hikes in season. If you can't stand the heat and humidity don't go. If you like being in a special place and seeing a wide range of animals and plants then this is where you need to visit.

We spent three memorable days here. I would definitely recommend this for those who don't mind missing a few comforts of home (at night there is no electricity in the cabins, the bathrooms are outdoors, you don't get a choice of what to eat). We knew basically what to expect so had a great time. The staff go out of their way to make people feel comfortable and taken care of. My only suggestions to the owners would be 1) offer a few dining options; 2) perhaps give everyone a flashlight or solar lamp for nighttime (there are candles but those burn out quickly); 3) maintain the property's trails a bit better, since the rainforest is spectacular but the trails aren't clearly marked or maintained. There is a beautiful lagoon next to the property that was great for swimming on the hot afternoons, and the proximity to Corcovado Park can't be beat. The grounds are lovely with hammocks, a bar/juice bar open all day, and awesome ocean views.

Le paradis

Une expérience hors du commun le lieu est tout simplement magique. L immersion dans le Corcovado est totale et donne un sentiment de bout du monde sauvage et paradisiaque.le personnel est très accueillant L organisation et la qualité des tours sont excellentes. Le niveau de la restauration est perfectible La signalisation du chemin d accès qui se fait à pied est inexistant c est vraiment dommage car par la plage cela est bien plus difficile. Le confort des bungalows est plutôt sympa Le tout est très dépaysant Je recommande très vivement

tolle Lage direkt am Nationalpark! Wir hatten einen Bungalow mit Meerblick. Traumhaft schöner einsamer Strand! Viele Tiere auch direkt in der Anlage. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Die Anreise war viel besser als erwartet. Leider ist das Meer schon sehr laut und ich konnte schlecht schlafen! Das ist aber wirklich ein Luxusproblem, genau wie der fehlende Ventilator!

Loved the tent ocean view “cabin”. It was wonderful to hear and see the surf rolling in. The place was super clean and the staff awesome. Phillippe was an excellent host, always warm and welcoming!! We had some problems transporting our luggage ahead of us to Drake Bay and they were more than helpful in solving our problems. The meals were good and portions more than enough. Can’t think of a negative thing to say. Great place to stay!

Amazing location, private and secluded. Great tents/rooms. Be prepared however that the rooms dont have electricity or Wi-Fi so bring torch, books and Good company :) Some improvements Could be Done regarding the food quality. We had dinner once during our stay (bring snacks!), and it was not so tasty and We expected a bit more cause everything else is so amazing. The night We skipped dinner the staff came to our room and asked Why We are not at the dinner area so it felt a little pushy to eat all the meals there. Some miscommunication with the information center in puerto jimenez. Hotel info Said We Could store the luggage that We dont Need there, however staff that greeted us with ”What do you want?” And Said to leave our luggage at the Carate parking area. Note! Luggage cannot be stored there and luggage to la Leona is weight limited when using their service (4km from hotel). Had to leave our luggage in the car. All in all though the location is amazing and We would come back!

Natur pur! Wunderbare Unterkunft

Die Anreise zur La Leona Eco Lodge war nicht ganz einfach, aber wir standen ständig in Kontakt zum Personal die uns bei der Organisation halfen! Die Anfahrt erfolgt entweder mit dem Taxi (100USD) oder mit dem Bus/ Collectivo (fährt nur Mo/Mi/Fr! Für Ich glaube 10USD p.P.)- danach folgt ein 45-minütiger Spaziergang zur Lodge. Die kleinen Bungalows sind Zelt-ähnlich aber wunderschön. Die Dusche ist unter freiem Himmel und das Wasser kommt direkt aus dem Berg. Beim Einschlafen hört man das Meeresrauschen. Der Strand ist quasi Menschenleer und man kann Aras auf den Palmen beobachten. Von der Anlage aus geht ein Rundweg (7,5km), den Berg hinauf und zu einem Aussichtspunkt - auch hier hat man die Möglichkeit Affen, Ameisenbären etc. zu sehen. Das Essen war lecker! Eine Mischung aus typischen Costa-ricanischen-Gerichten, aber auch etwas europäisch angehaucht. Der Koch war sehr nett. Fragte jedes Mal, ob alles in Ordnung sei und erklärte uns, was wir auf dem Teller finden ;-) Die Touren von der Lodge waren auch spitze! Mit Álvaro loszuziehen kann ich nur empfehlen! Man sieht so viel mehr Tiere und kann durch das Fernglas Bilder machen. Alles in allem hatten wir eine sehr schön entspannte Zeit in der La Leona Eco Lodge! Das Personal war sehr bemüht, das Essen gut, der Strand einsam, die Touren klasse, viele Tiere gesehen ..was will man mehr?! Ich kann es nur weiter empfehlen :-)

Ausgezeichnete Eco Lodge

Wir haben insgesamt 4 Nächte in dem Lodge verbracht und es war eine einmalige Erlebnis. Die Lodge ist paar Gehminuten von La Leona Ranger Station und ist mitten der Wildnis. Man erreicht die Lodge über eine 2,5 km Fußweg aus Carate Airstrip, über dem Strand oder Forstweg. Schon auf dem Weg haben wir zaehlige Macaws, Nasenbären und andre Vogelarten gesehen. Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und über unsere gesamte Aufenthalt vom Jorje mit leckerem Essen verwöhnt. Wir haben auch eine Nachtstour und ein Corcovado Tour gemacht und beide waren sehr informativ und interessant. Der Felipe hat sich auch sehr gut um uns gekümmert und wir haben uns jederzeit sehr gut aufgenommen gefühlt. Wir würden diese Lodge jedes Mal wieder besuchen und ich hoffe wir werden bald die Gelegenheit dazu bald wieder haben.

Great place, not suitable for everyone!

This is a hotel for people who want to disconnect completely as there is no mobile phone signal and electricity is very limited, only to the kitchen / restaurant sector. The rooms are tent type but with a wooden floor structure and have a separate toilet and a surprising shower because it is private but it is outdoors (no one will see you, be calm ...). The hotel staff is extremely friendly, very generous and they took great care of us. Without a doubt it is a place that I recommend, but it is not for all types of guests because it is very remote and because it has its limitations (although those limitations are for me, what make this hotel a VERY special place)
Gardens of the hotel. Very nice place

Zum Schluss 1 Stunde zu Fuss dem Strand entlang👣🙃. Das Gepäck wird mit einem Pferdewagen gebracht. Wo gibt heute noch sowas? Schlicht toll☺️. Ganz liebe Tico Familie🤗. Essen superlecker😋.
