Family hotels and homes in Ojo de Agua

The Danta greatly exceeded our expectations. The Lodge and accommodations have been well situated in the jungle and yet the rooms, and facilities were spotlessly clean and oh so comfortable. This is our first trip to CR and this stay has us wanting to return soon.

It is a very peaceful and pleasant place, staff made sure that everything was at the highest level. The breakfast was delicious.

The lodge is surrounded by nature in a clearing directly on the Golfo Dulce. There are only 6 bungalows, so the number of guests remains small and this provides a very relaxed atmosphere. The bungalows each have 2 bedrooms, both with their own bathrooms, one of which has an outdoor shower. In one of the rooms there is an (empty) fridge, a coffee machine and a tea maker. There is no television (why would there be in this environment). There is no air conditioning, only a ceiling fan, which is quiet and efficient. All terraces offer beautiful views over the gulf. The two bedrooms are only separated by a thin wall, so you can hear everything that happens in the other room. They are therefore more suitable for families or if you know each other (very) well and can put up with that. We were travelling as two couples and didn't realise this. We felt it was a great courtesy that we were offered accommodation in separate bungalows for at least 3 of the 4 nights we had booked, as the booking situation allowed for this. We also felt that we were well looked after in every other respect. Everyone was very friendly and our every wish was fulfilled. There were lots of animals to watch and the best thing was the macaws that had their lunch in a tree on the beach every evening. We had a partner massage in an enchanted spa in the forest by a stream, which was unique. You get used to the lack of air conditioning surprisingly well, especially as it cools down to 20°C at night and the bungalows are open all round (protected by fly screens). Contrary to expectations, there were hardly any mosquitoes. The food was very good and varied enough for a 4-day stay. There was only a small salad as an alternative to soup as a starter, in this respect there could be a little more choice. Everything is very attractively designed. Thanks to the Kunken team for a great stay at this special place! We will definitely be back.

This property was very nice and a unique experience situated in the middle of the jungle. The host was amazing, was very knowledgeable and made us dinner one night!

I instantly felt welcomed and relaxed. The little boutique accommodation felt like the best version of how home should be. Lily and Gregory were the kindest and most thoughtful hosts.

Amazing lodge in the centre of the jungle but still close to Drake Bay Town. Located in the joungle we could see tucans, parrots, dozens of monkeys just setting in the lodge or taking the shower :) it was very exciting to be so close to the nature. Drive by car to the Town taken 10 minute by dirty Road so car is useful. There is a lovely isolated beach half way. You will get the directions from the Lodge owner. At the lodge the host offers traditional food for brakfast and dinners of take awans at really competitive Price. In the Town there is also a variety of restaurants and bars. Amazing experience of being isolated in the jungle but at the same time so close to the town. Rooms really clean and property very tidy and clean.

Sabrina and Edu were fantastic hosts. They went out of their way to make our stay a success. We loved our little house. The food was the best we had in Costa Rica, it was fresh, delicious and varied. There were interesting trails around the property and we had great fun in the rowing boat. We thought Encanto Lodge was a very special place and would have liked to stay longer. Pura Vida in Osa.

The owners husband is the guide. And he is so amazing. You must take one of their guided tours. Book the big house with the pool, worth the exstra money for private garden and more space

Nice villa with everything, in quiet area.

A magical place made all the more so by the lovely hosts, Anouk and Kevin. We had the place all to ourselves, but even if we hadn’t it is large enough that other guests wouldn’t have bothered us. Kevin is an excellent chef and we ate well (if too much!). Great little swimming hole to cool off in. We went on an early morning boat ride on the river with Melvin - so calm and beautiful. Take advantage when it’s high tide to kayak in the mangroves. We took the car ferry across the Sierpe river and then drove - a bit bumpy but very doable. There is nothing not to like about this corner of Costa Rica.
