Secluded Jungle Paradise
 
I stayed 5 days in this place (a yoga retreat). The location is beautiful: just in the jungle. You feel secluded. The property is beautiful and the service is just the best. Everybody was proud of their work and took care of us. The food was delicious and diverse. The excursions were very fun. Highly recommend for anybody who wants to recharge.

Serene and Gorgeous 
 
This place is incredibly special. Its remoteness is an asset—arriving by boat is an absolute pleasure, and the fact that all of the surrounding landscape is totally untouched is remarkable—to look out from the beach and not see a single other structure is an amazing experience.

Out of This World Experience
 
Arriving at Playa Cativo felt like being in a movie or National Geographic special. Incredible setting. Our room was like somewhere Ernest Hemingway would write - so romantic and otherworldly. We were amazed at every meal - how do they prepare these gourmet meals in the middle of nowhere? Our yoga classes were wonderful, again, in a setting beyond the ordinary.

Paradise!
 
Breathtaking property, abundant wildlife, exceptional team! The property is nestled into the Piedras Blancas National Park which is just as diverse as Corcavado but less visited. Whale and dolphin spotting from the porch, bird spotting tooFood is gorgeous too - the chef will alter things for.  you. It’s like having a private chef.

Remote, Exotic, Nature Lover's Paradise.
 
It felt like we were on Gilligan's Island! ( I watched that show for years growing up) It felt surreal there.

The tropical beauty was stunning, the water is calm- (no wave action if someone wants that), the food was very good, the staff was amazing!

A Beautiful Location
 
It is a beautiful location, on the coast of the Gulfo Dulce, looking southwest to the Osa peninsula, backing up to the Piedras Blancas National Park. The grounds and the surrounding rainforest are filled with birds. This is a place to rest, relax and enjoy the natural world.

Excellent experience - from the ocean view to the fantastic staff and delicious food!!!
 
Being immersed in nature was a life-changing experience and the staff went out of their way to help us learn about the birds and wildlife. We had so much to do - hiking to a waterfall, fishing, evening boat rides, tour of the organic farm - the list goes on!. Easy access to everything - including the pools - helped make this the vacation of a lifetime.
