Things to do in Carate
1. Luna Lodge
Overall Ratings
5 based on 429 reviews
Secluded in the tropical rain forest bordering Corcovado National Park, Luna Lodge is a unique resort described by many as "...a piece of true paradise". Its appeal is, not only, its natural beauty and environment, where the heliconia hang three feet long, and the howler monkeys wake you in the morning, but also, its ambiance. The owners' passion for the preservation of the forest is ever present, and the attentive courtesy, friendly staff always serve "con mucho gusto... with pleasure".
Best place to lead a yoga retreat!
Reviewed By RecommendedbyTaraI brought a yoga retreat group of 18 women to Luna Lodge for a week of yoga and adventure and it was the best experience I've ever had as a yoga retreat leader. The staff were incredible helpful and accommodating. My participants raved about the body work from Ahmed and Rosie in the spa, reiki and tarot with Lana, the delicious food, clean rooms, expert tour guides, and of course the spectacular views. The yoga platform has space to practice outdoors or under the shelter, depending on the weather. There are bolsters, mats, straps, and a few blankets and blocks.

Great place to get away from it all
Reviewed By 7brandysThis trip was our first to Costa Rica and this place was amazing. The trek there gave us a little pause but once there we fell in love with everything. We stayed in tent 1 on the beach and after walking up to see the Monkey Cabins I am glad we opted for the beach ones! The howler monkeys were our very early alarm clock but this is why we were there right? We did the half day tour in the park with Alvarro and found the whole experience delightful even with it being so hot for us northern folks. If you are looking for a unique and off the beaten path experience come here!! We’ll certainly be back

Finca Exotica - Best place to stay in Corcovado! Great Lodging, Excellent Food, Incredible Views, Spectacular Location!
Reviewed By hannahsN113SIMy husband and I spend 4 days at Finca Exotica and we’re blown away! The lodging is exceptional! The huts are perfectly designed with high quality wood and bamboo, the beds are very comfortable, and the outdoor shower was so fun to use! The views are spectacular! You can see the love the owners put into each and every hut, specifically designed to give the visitor the best view of Corcovado! The beach is a short 5 minute walk from the Finca Exotica Clubhouse, the Finca Exotica beach location has hammocks and benches, perfect for sitting out to enjoy the beach! The clubhouse is equipped with many hammocks, books, and a pool table! The Casa Grande restaurant at Finca Exotica is incredible, spectacular design with incredible views of the rainforest and beach. The Finca Exotica layout was great—they have incredible gardens and we saw many beautiful animals as we walked around the Finca. We saw monkeys, macaws, lots of lizards, special birds, and frogs—they love Finca Exotica! The Casa Grande restaurant features beautiful furniture, designed by the Owner—it has many beautiful sitting areas with a beautiful bar and large tables for big parties. The restaurant also has many fun instruments for guests to play, including a guitar and a wooden marimba from Costa Rica! The food at the Casa Grande restaurant cannot be beat!!

We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the restaurant and were thrilled with the level of care taken to prepare every meal, and the delicious and creative dishes that we enjoyed!

Hands down the best food we have had in all of Costa Rica, and we have had some great food! Finca Exotica also provides some unique tour offerings, Laura and Gaby set up a wonderful tour of the Corcovado Reserve, Laura was our tour guide and did an excellent job of showing us the beautiful flora and fauna or Corcovado! We loved every minute of our stay at Finca Exotica and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for adventure and great food, in the heart of the Corcovado wilderness!
4. LagunaVista Villas
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 153 reviews
Our lodge comprises 8 Mediterranean style villas, a large swimming pool and restaurant. It sits on a small peninsula inside a fresh water lagoon bordering it on three sides and a Pacific Ocean beach 200m across the lagoon, accessible by our boats and kayaks. We run on solar power, our water is from a fresh mountain spring and we produce fresh food daily from our biological garden.
Paradise and Monkeys!
Reviewed By Jennifer PI had an exceptional stay at LagunaVista Villas with 3 of my friends. Our rooms were so cool! I especially loved the showers! The pool was incredible as well as the staff. The staff was so attentive to our needs and the meals were HUGE and tasty! During our stay, we went on a tour of the rainforest. Our guide was unbelievable and spotted so many animals and told us all about their species. I believe his name is Eddie and he works with these villas. I highly recommend LagunaVista Villas.
5. Lookout Inn Lodge
Overall Ratings
5 based on 632 reviews
The Lookout Inn Lodge is a beach and rainforest ecolodge in Carate on Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula. We are located completely off the beaten path and conveniently located near an entrance to the world-renowned Corcovado National Park. Ideally situated to offer comfortable and affordable eco-friendly accommodations to adventure travelers visiting this remote part of Costa Rica, the Lookout Inn Lodge is sure to impress. Nestled in the hillside right above the road and alongside an isolated black sand beach, Lookout Inn Lodge provides our guests with spectacular views of the surrounding jungle rainforest, the majestic Pacific Ocean and an endless unspoiled Osa Peninsula coastline.
Wonderful outlook indeed, but difficult access and very average accommodation
Reviewed By Margaret PThis is more of a hiking lodge. Accommodation was very simple, though reasonably clean. We had dinner which was cooked on site, no choice, but it was very tasty. We were very disappointed in Drake Bay itself, it had very little to offer us, more a hippy place, and we only stayed one night instead of the two we had booked.
