Avis FINCA EXOTICA ECO LODGE Parque Nacional Corcovado

Magnigique finca dans la jungle où nous avons pu observer des singes, de sompteux oiseaux dont pleins de Aras.

Nous avons bien dormi dans notre bungalow et nous déconnectons bien au propre comme au figuré!

Le qualité prix est certes élevé comme l ont mentionné d autres avis mais la qualité de la nourriture, l accueil et le cadre sont exceptionnels

Expérience à recommander

i gave it 3 stars as the food and water situation for 300 dollar per day for 2 is not acceptable.

the food is delicious, but very very small portions. they say you can ask for more, but there seems to be problem in the kitchen in calculating how much they needed every time so there is never enough.

30 dollars for dinner and 20 dollars for lunch per person, no drinks included and still hungry after is not ok.

they say they have an restaurant but its a cafeteria, no menu or walk in anytime you want. you get served what they prepared at there decided times so this is a cafeteria.

besides the drinks are heavily overpriced. 12 dollars for a mini cocktail.

you can not drink the tapwater and you have to go the 'restaurant' or reception where the mini dispensers are out of water quite often and no one around to ask for a refill.

the room has no fans so its very hot most of the time, lastly they dont provide any water in the room.

if you go to this place bring your own water and snacks as they dont let you cook anything. all this for just 300 dollars per day!

Nous y avons séjourné une nuit dans le cadre d’une excursion de 2 jours dans le Parc du Corcovado. Notre séjour a été exceptionnel. Un accueil très chaleureux, un lieu permettant une réelle déconnexion. Nous avons adoré !

Staying at Finca Exotica proved to be a memorable experience in the Costa Rican jungle. Beauty abounded everywhere. Expertly prepared meals, friendly staff, and agreeable accommodations made for a pleasant stay. I traveled there for a yoga retreat. The surroundings were perfect. Our group would hear howler monkeys in the morning and were greeted by pairs of flying scarlet macaws during yoga. We also saw yellow billed toucans on the property along with Coatis, Tayras, Capuchin Monkeys, and other wildlife. Ginger, Hibiscus, Lobster Claw varieties of Birds of Paradise along with other tropical plants filled the area. Hikes to Corcovado Park, kayak trips, horseback riding on the beach, and dolphin tours are all available. Or you could just relax on the property and do nothing. The last night, the lodge arranged to have cocktails and snacks on the beach with a fire. It was magical.

Amazing, isolated location in the middle of the jungle and next to the ocean - true connection with the nature. The food is amazing and the accommodations are fabulous, so special. Enjoy the beach, do some yoga, go for a walking or kayak tour with Laura.

I love love love the staff and people! This is the place to meet people with soul and a desire to connect to nature.

Pura naturaleza pura! Pura vida tuanis!!

Excelente lugar para pasar una vacaciones y tener contacto con la naturaleza.

Finca Exotica is one of those places that will be a forever memory. We stayed at the Rancho Cabina, which is on top of the hill with the most amazing view over the jungly garden and Pacific Ocean. The red macaws and toucans are constantly passing by, just like different types of monkeys, anteaters, and aguti's. While the facilities are simple (cold showers, no wifi, no aircon), the experience is absolutely not. Sleeping so close to nature in a place that cherishes nature so much, is definitely one the highlights of our stay in Costa Rica!

Beautiful but extremely (ridiculously) expensive

We (a couple with 2 kids) stayed at Finca Exotica Eco Lodge for 3 nights.

The property is nicely located at the southern end of Corcovado national park. The road from Porto Jimenez towards Carate where the lodge is located takes 1.5h over unpaved, graveled roads (4x4 not mandatory but recommended).

The entire property is a remote lodge run by a couple who bought the property some 30 years ago, invested extensively in reforesting the former farmland and bring back native plants attracting birds and other animals. It has several basic houses, beds with mosquito nets, outdoor showers, and breathtaking views. No WiFi on the entire property except at the entrance on the main road. The food is delicious and the owners helpful and friendly. Swimming in the pacific is not recommended due to the strong rip currents.

The lodge we had contained two single beds and one queen sized bed with mosquito nets, an outdoor shower and a hammock.

For the three nights we paid USD 1300 (including food, but no other services) as well as 230 USD for the mandatory guide and entrance to the Corcovado national park, so over USD 1500 for the three days at Finca Exotica.

All in all, we consider Finca Exotica as a beautiful spot providing an excellent opportunity to see CR wildlife, however the price tag is at the high(est) end with over USD 320 per day (!).

If you do not care about money at all and are keen to explore a rather wild part of CR with very basic infrastructure only, Finca Exotica may be your place.

Warm bilingual hospitality, amazing fresh food, incredible diversity in nature on property, easy access to a beautiful black sand beach and near the Corcovado National Park. You can drink the water and even with open rooms, there were no significant "critter issues". Wifi is limited to the beach house at the bottom of the hill so that you can be fully present to enjoy the experience. "Worth the drive".

Mi única experiencia mala en CR.
La anfitriona y propietaria me trató muy mal y además busco estafar en distintas oportunidades. Luego me bloqueo de whatsapp para q no le cuestione.
Aqui va mi mensaje para ella:
El ingreso al parque Corcovado esta pagado recién el día 20, no como dijo q lo había hecho antes y por eso debía cobrarmelo. También si no se lo pedía nunca lo hubiera hecho. También no eran 30 dolares como usted me pidió, eran 15, robo. También el desayuno al ingreso usted me invito "cordialmente a subir q me estan esperando con el" no me ofreció si me gustaría contratarlo, yo no se como funciona el régimen de alimento en su lugar, si usted quiere vender un servicio primero lo ofrece y dsp lo cobra. Tampoco me respeto el descuento por pago en efectivo como dice el mail que me mando. También se exedió al hablar de la falta de comida, q a usted no le falta cuando yo si he pasado hambre. También me hablo que no me voy a electrocutar para mover un palo q parecía inmovíl para ingresar el auto cuando nadie se ofreció a decirme que eso se puede abrir. También cuestionó de donde saco los recursos para viajar o si tengo tarjeta o que. Cuestiono si yo iba a poder pagarle su estadía diciendo "primero me pagas lo mío, el resto dsp vemos" cuando nunca fue una opción mía no pagarle. Y entre otras cosas. Disculpe si tuve algún mal entendido, pero yo nunca le falte el respeto, y si así lo hice soy el cliente. Estoy esperando sus sinceras disculpas para no tener la única mala experiencia en CR en su lugar. *pura vida*

Wir können uns den positiven Bewertungen nur anschließen. Es war eine tolle Erfahrung und ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Vielen Dank an Gavi, Laura und das gesamte Team, die uns so herzlich empfangen haben!

Wie schon in anderen Rezensionen angesprochen ist der Dienstleistungsgedanke hier leider nicht so weit ausgeprägt: Die Webseite gibt sich sehr professionell und durchdesignt, telefonisch ist aber nie jemand erreichbar, via WhatsApp (was auf der Webseite beworben wird) kommt selbst nach Wochen keine Antwort.

Vor Ort ist die Bar wie schon in anderen Rezensionen angesprochen Nachmittags leider geschlossen und auch niemand vorzufinden.

Kurzum: Schöne Anlage aber erwartet nicht zu viel Service. Der Preis ist trotzdem selbst für Costa Ricanische Verhältnisse sehr hoch.

This is exactly how you would imagine a Paradise on a Postal Card! If you want to be inside a real tropical forest and same time be at the resort, this place is for you!
We spend 5 nights at the resort, which we found online after bad hotel experience in Puerto Jimenez. So, it wasn't planned, but became the best days for two of us during recent Costa Rica vacation. We stayed in a Cabin, which is perfectly matching the tropical garden on the property. The three times per day meal was deliciously cooked by Coco (sorry if I misspell the name of cook) and served in the restaurant. If you would be there only to see the sunset, its already worth it! We met great people there as well.

Thanks for every moment there!
