Las Caletas Lodge

Top choice in Southern Costa Rica & Península de Osa


This adorable lodge consists of colorful wooden cabins and safari tents, located near the picturesque beach of the same name. The owners are warm hosts who established this convivial spot before there was phone access or electricity (now mostly solar- and hydro-powered). The food is delicious and bountiful, the staff friendly and the environment beautifully chill.
