I cannot say enough good about Las Caletas! Daniel was an amazing host with fantastic tips on what to do and making sure we were prepared for our planned adventures. We stayed in one of the tents, which was quite comfy. I was worried about there not being AC, but everything cooled off at night and the ocean breeze and fan made it perfect. The food here was also phenomenal. We were excited for every dinner. Both my partner and myself have dietary restrictions (celiac and vegetarian) and Las Caletas was incredibly accommodating and would make special dishes for us if needed. I highly recommend staying here!!!

The lodge is located conveniently one hour by boat from Sierpe and another hour by boat to the Sirena Ranger Station in Corcovado National Park. From the terrace of the main building and the beautiful garden you have a fantastic view of the ocean. You can watch monkeys and several kinds of birds directly in front of your door. The owner Jolanda, the host Emily and the whole team is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner are really tasty and the menu offers a very good choice.

Even if the honeymoon bungalow offers great privacy and its own ocean view we found the room a bit small and the air inside a bit stuffy.

Beautiful lodge ideally located for nature observation. We saw right from the long chairs monkeys, macaws, countless of bird species, and even a marsupial. Sunset time is a daily live nature show… Jolanda is very responsive and full of advices to plan ahead tours and activities. She recommended a local agency for national park exploration and snorkelling that turned out to be very efficient and professional, our guide was a local nature expert, highly recommended. Onsite the place is absolutely well run, from the moment we arrived our luggage was being taken care of, rooms were ready, food was fantastic, nothing else to do than relax and enjoy nature.

The location; staff; and food were all the best we have ever had. It felt like a big family with Myra looking after us all. The wildlife comes to you in this remote location, we even saw whales from the restaurant. It's a real treat to be served good quality food every day and as we all ate the evening meal together there was a good atmosphere and you get to know the other guests. We stayed for 10 nights and could have stayed longer, the hardest place to leave. Thank you Myra and the team for an experience we'll never forget. Paul and Jane

Fantastic atmosphere, personel, location, restaurant - We loved everything untill the owner behaved very badly when there was a paying issue the last night.

When we were to pay we had different perspectives on the agreed price. We tried to have a dialogue with the owner to figure put the problem, but the owner just yelled at us in the phone and told us, that is was our problem and that we ourself should figure it out with booking.com. Luckily the owner’s son were there and was much more polite and helped us. However, the next morning the personel were unpolite and we had to ask the personel to serve breakfast for all of us - and in that way the last 12 hours changed our overall perspective of the place.

Our stay at Las Caletas was nothing short of exceptional, marked by an unwavering attention to detail and a palpable personal touch that made us feel uniquely catered to. The beautiful surroundings of the resort provided a perfect backdrop to our spacious and immaculate rooms, ensuring a serene and luxurious experience. The culinary offerings were a highlight, with fresh, high-quality food that was not only delicious but also sensitive to our dietary requirements. The staff’s friendly and problem-solving attitude, coupled with their evident happiness and thoughtfulness, contributed significantly to the positive atmosphere throughout our stay. Additionally, the well-designed common areas boasted beautiful views, making every moment there a pleasure.

Absolutely nothing. It’s rare to find a place that ticks all the boxes, but Las Caletas managed to do just that. From the start of our stay to our reluctant departure, we struggled to find any aspect that did not meet or exceed our expectations.

Absolutely stunning location right in the rain forest with only the sound of birds and animals. We stayed in the honeymoon suite which was delightful. We enjoyed the comfortable chairs and hammock. Everything was taken care of. From the staff carrying our luggage up to the room (which was much appreciated in the heat), lovely food, early breakfast if you are on a trip, drinks available to help yourself (with an honesty book). Jolanda was very responsive with the communications and made lots of suggestions for the trips and arranged taxi boats for us. It all went very smoothly. It is a very peaceful place which we loved. We loved watching the birds, parrots, toucans, hummingbirds, monkeys, crabs, fireflies and even a sloth. Thank you Jolanda, Julio and Myra for everything...we just wished we could have stayed longer! Especially appreciated the honeymoon message and gift in our room. thank you x

Nothing!

Setting was stunning. Fantastic views. Wonderful for bird spotting. Lovely beach which the kids loved playing on. The sea can be a bit rough at times so they needed supervising in the sea but it was also great fun to jump in the waves. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was the best we'd had in our two week trip to Costa Rica - absolutely delicious. Highly recommend this place

Nothing. It was all great

This was the perfect lodge for someone like me who enjoys being immersed in beautiful nature. Las Caletas was recommended to me by a friend, and I am so glad I booked it. The staff was very friendly and very helpful with ensuring we enjoyed everything about our stay. Communication was great - I had some questions before I arrived in Drake Bay, and the staff always answered my emails very quickly. The breakfast and dinner meals were incredible, fresh and delicious. The chef did an amazing job creating beautiful meals. The property was beautiful, immaculate and well-maintained by the staff. There was an awesome view of the ocean. The dining room was made of beautiful wood, and attention was paid to every detail, even down to hand-painted wood keychains for the bathrooms. Every morning during breakfast, it seemed there was some new “entertainment” – a pair of scarlet macaws flying by, green parrots in a tree, hummingbirds, an iguana, a sloth! There was always something fun to watch. I booked the tent accommodation. The beds and the seating area were very comfortable. The staff did a great job of keeping our tent and bathroom clean after we returned from many sandy days snorkeling or touring Corcovado National Park. There were always fresh towels for the shower and beach, and a new sheet for the bed every day. Las Caletas seems to attract other nature lovers and we met quite a few friendly people from around the world who were also staying there, and they helped point out animals in the trees. Las Caletas is located right on the Drake Trail, and many of the days we walked to the town (1 hour walk) or other small, secluded beaches (only 10 mins away). Besides tours to Cano Island and Corcovado National Park, there are so many cool things to see just sitting on the beach or walking on the Drake Trail. Overall, I had an amazing stay here and I want to return to Las Caletas in the future!

Las Caletas is a true gem. A small place with huge views and lots of adventures - from the tours you can take to Cano Island and Corcovado to the beaches you can hike to from the lodge. Fantastic views, beautiful trails from the property. Lots of wildlife- toucans, black hawk nest, parrots, monkeys. The food was really amazing and the staff were incredible. We will be back for sure!!!

There is no air conditioning, but there are fans in the rooms. The rooms are lovely, simple and clean. If you are an AC person, this is not the place for you. If you love nature, ocean breezes, and the outdoors you will love it here.
