Lodges in Bahía Solano

I cannot say enough about this place. The location is beautiful and its connection to the large Botanical Garden is a major selling point. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and lead very in depth guided hikes through the jungle to see the hundreds of species that are native to the area. You can certainly come here and relax on the beach, but it's not really that kind of place. It feels like a bit of a remote outpost, which I thought was wonderful. You should be ready to be active. The hikes require Wellington boots, which they'll supply, but you need a good, tall pair of hiking socks underneath. They are strenuous, but so rewarding. Swimming, snorkeling and whale-watching (season permitting) are also possible options. The food is excellent and eaten family style. I never had a meal there I didn't love. The bungalow away from the main house was lovely. The only possible drawback to staying there, instead of at the main building, is the lack of Wi-Fi at the bungalow. But I'd argue that's also a feature, frankly. You go to sleep and wake up to the sounds of the surf and the dozens of bird species in the area.

The good service, specially Luisa which took care of finding tours when the conditions were not ideal. Nice shelters. Everything was very clean. The jungle just a few meters with a long walk behind the hotel. Many animals to be seen from the hotel, lizards, squirrel, colibri... Avialable coffee and water. Night fire.
