    Amazing place. An oasis! It was amazing to sleep in the jungle with just the nets and the wood to separate you. All natural materials. Bathroom was open to the sky. Good and friendly staff, great food. Such a great experience.

    Good quality cabins located in the forest, just a short walk to the main reception and restaurant. All the buildings were attractive, modern, and airy, with the restaurant providing lovely meals. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Tours could be arranged through the hotel.

    Unique place to stay with fantastic bird watching towers and trails. Great food

    The only bad thing I can think of is that our night tour only lasted 1 hour even though it was advertised as 1.5 hours. The photos on booking definitely don't do this place justice, they need an update.

    This is the best place we stayed at in the whole of CR. For starters the staff are so friendly and welcoming you feel at home right away. We stayed in the cave thing which was a super awesome and unique experience. The bed was comfortable and bathroom was amazing as it was sort of semi outside with an amazing shower. The on-site restaurant is actually very good! The breakfast is very good, it's the first time I had fried turrialba cheese and it was fantastic. Lunch and dinner was also absolutely fantastic and so reasonably priced. We did a night tour with the guide and he was great at finding different animals. What we loved most though was the hiking trails and bird watching towers! Every morning and evening we would walk to the bird watching towers for a few hours and we saw so many different birds and even some poison dart frogs! Hawks, Eagles, Toucans, Parakeets, King Vultures and so many more. Also Maya the dog is so adorable, she accompanied us on a few hikes and she's a great companion. Would recommend this place to absolutely everyone, especially bird enthusiasts!

    Only one small thing. The restaurant only offers a 3 course fixed price at lunch and a 3 course fixed price at dinner. The food is great but sometimes you just want something smaller and more of a snack. That's not possible. It's all or nothing.

    l loved everything about Danta Corcovado Lodge. It is much more beautiful and very much more comfortable than I was expecting from the photos. The bungalow / cabin we had was amazing. It had a fridge which I wasn't expecting. The food was delicious and the eating/ bar area is stunning. We loved walking all the trails through the reserve (which we almost always had to ourselves) and observing the wildlife. Its not too buggy either, even in the open restaurant after dark. It was a wonderful stay and great fun. The staff are fantastic too. We enjoyed the tours with Juan Luis. We managed just fine here without a car. Thanks to everyone for such a great experience.

    The property is adjacent to the National Park corcovado. On the property is a canopy tower that allows for great bird observation. Easy to access. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. With a daily cleaning service.

    could of had a little mention of Christmas

    amazing ,so authentic just a basic comfortable (very comfortable beds) cabin each isolated from the next completely quiet ,except for birds amd monkeys. Food and service was fantastic , good choice ,best tuna I’ve ever eaten , we did 2 tours with the same guide who was the best guide we had all holiday really seemed to care about everything he showed us and found all kind of things that we would never had seen, I’ll trip into Corcovado national park he drove us deep in (through 20 rivers ) didn’t see a single other person or car apart from a ranger ,ended in a waterfall where we were able to swim just us . .

    A dream in the middle of the jungle

    Only small downside was that we felt that any extras are slightly overpriced, e.g. dinner is $24 dollars which is quite pricey even for a this 3-course menu. Also, it’s a pity that the dinner options are not traditional comidas but rather an unsuccessful attempt to mimic European/American food. Other than this, everything is really perfect and we recommend this accommodation.

    Lovely staff and the little cabins are simply great. You don’t get much closer to staying in the middle of the jungle than this. Comfortable beds, staff brings your luggage to the room with a quad, everything was perfect. When asking where to buy a coco (pipa) frio (fria) they just called someone from the guards to climb up a tree and get us a super fresh one.

    would have liked more of a self service option with food and drinks. the staff was incredibly hospitable and wouldn’t let us lift a finger (which is exceptional service) BUT we felt uncomfortable with being pampered like that and would have liked the option to just cook our own food and make our own breakfast once or twice

    incredible property in the heart of a special jungle. staff are so hospitable and they have activities right on location with lots of hiking trails.

    Danta has improved their diner experience by changing from a communal style diner with a fixed menu to a private, a la carte diner (for a fixed price). Also, maintenance of the trails had greatly improved since our last stay (8 years ago). All other features of Danta have always been perfect (bungalow, location, quality of the guides, wildlife), so this now makes it one of our favorite places to stay in Costa Rica!

    There are some very good hiking trails on the property with the opportunity to see wildlife (monkeys, birds etc.) and some beautiful trees. The bungalow was also very nice. If you dont have a car you can take the bus to La Palma and then walk about an hour (flat road) to the lodge.
