The curtain poles could do with a refresh. They fell down twice as we were drawing the curtains.

The helpfulness of the staff was exceptional. There was also a restaurant there serving delicious food. The surroundings are very peaceful and the pool was an addded bonus. It was one of the best places we stayed at during our 3 weeks in Costa Rica.

Very friendly staf. They arrange activities for you if you want. Nice restaurant with delicious cocktails and good food. Basic cabin with good bed and good working airconditioning. The pool is very nice with hot weather.

Super friendly and warm staff, very flexible, accommodated to all our needs. We came back from Corcovado National park and had a lot of wet stuff, they offered to do our laundry free of charge. We were able to leave our car and suitcases at the hotel whilst being in the national park for a night, which was such a luxury! Very private hotel with a beautiful garden (spotted multiple tropical animals), a nice pool and bar area. Highly recommend this hotel if you're staying in Puerto Jimenez!

For a group of four the room was a bit tight

Nice space nearby the bay, great opportunity to just walk over at night during low tide and splash around for bioluminescence

the Wi-Fi was not strong in the room and I had no internet connection with my cell phone provider so I needed to be on the kitchen or restaurant area if I needed to communicate with family.

the rooms were all surrounded by gardens, it was far enough from downtown so it wasn’t nosy, very tranquil staying

the kitchen could be equipped better

great place, clean, there is a swimming pool

Not many bicycles are available.

The hotel is located a bit outside of the town, roughly 20 min walk. You can hear the howler monkeys for a wake up call. We were very satisfied with our stay. The hotel also offers bicycles for free to get around.

The bathroom could do with being updated.

Really great pool area and kitchen facilities, with lovely bird life in the surroundings. Apartment was clean and comfortable, and the parking was very secure at night.

It is quite a walk to the Osa Lodge from the ferry dock and also to the beach.

We booked the Osa Lodge because it is walking distance fronthe kayak excursion establishment. We had a reservation there for a mangrove jungle tour. Very heavy rains were coming on Wednesday so we were able to change our reservations to Tuesday at the last minute. The staff were extremely helpful.

It is far-ish from town and a bumpy road to get there-but that adds to the quietness.

One reason I picked this place was for the pool and it is a small but very welcoming place where I was happy to land after the drive to Puerto J. Shady trees surround and we saw birds right from there. The bungalows are comfy and the ac works great, but the fan kept us cool at night just fine. Our hostess was wonderful, too! Thanks for the coffee in the am and use of the shared kitchen.

it was a 25 minute walk to town, and no food options nearer.

peaceful, calm, engrossed in nature. clean.

Not clean enough, especially not the cooking area and utensils. Internet doesn’t get to the bedrooms at all, which is not nice given that there’s no reception in the area either. The pool area is absolutely dark at night, we asked and they said the pools lights were out of order. The whole place needs maintenance, but it is expected since it is cheap, so you get what you pay for.

it is nice to hear the birds and monkeys around the property. We enjoyed hanging out by the pool while looking at the different species in the surroundings.

Absolutely amazing people, Amanda and Braulio are kind, helpful, and caring hosts. Felt completely looked after at Kalea. They really cared about our experience and went out of their way to make it good! The food was fabulous, and it was awesome having a pool for those hot and humid afternoons. Highly recommend 👌

Staff were really nice, friendly. Lots of monkeys and macaws going by. Restaurant was excellent. Wonderful handmade tortillas.

The staff here is great - Braulio (sp?) just radiates positive, happy energy and Amanda was welcoming and helpful too. They let us leave our luggage while we went to the park for a couple nights, which we really appreciated. The property is great with birdwatching (macaws!) and a peaceful setting. And the food was delicious - like having a home cooked meal (but tastier).

Wish we could have stayed longer!

From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the most friendly and helpful staff. Amanda and Braulio always went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable, welcoming and a good experience. The free breakfast and coffee every morning was beautiful and dinner every night was incredible some of the best food we’ve had in Costa Rica thanks to the amazing chef on site. Braulio made amazing cocktails and even can make any you request that aren’t on the menu. We also got to try Amanda’s famous coconut mango dessert which was out of this world. The room was super clean and comfortable and the property was well maintained. Could not fault our stay. Thanks for having us, we will be back.
