After twelve years of vacation in Costa Rica, we found a jewel in the rainforest: The Golfo Dulce Lodge. It is your engagement for nature which has enabled us to see rare wild animals even from the porch of our cabin. In no small measure it is also the merit of your guests which have always been very disciplined. The biodiversity of the rainforest of Costa Rica is most clearly evident in the forest surrounding the Golfo Dulce Lodge. You and your staff have made our four-weeks stay here among the best we ever had anywhere. And, by the way, your cooking skills are unsurpassed ! Even at this time, we are planning to spend our next vacation at the Golfo Dulce Lodge. |

Thank you for a wonderful experience of unspoiled Costa Rica. You have built a place that sits lightly on the landscape and shows great respect for the magnificent flora and fauna. It was exciting to see the scarlet macaws and watching the tamandua (anteater). The kapok tree and the squirrel monkeys over by the shelter were unforgetable. The food was healthy and delicious, the cabin comfortable, the quiet relaxing. |

I have enjoyed my stay at Golfo Dulce Lodge very, very much. It is so quiet but then so crowded with wildlife. You think you have seen it all but just around the corner meters above your head a new surprise is dooming up for you. Spectacular ! Everyone at Golfo Dulce Lodge was very friendly and helpful. It is a marvelous place to stay and experience. |

I was in paradise for a few days. I felt like Alice in Wonderland. I am glad I could be a part of it. Thanks for all the good care, you and all the people who work on Golfo Dulce Lodge were so helpful, kind and always cheerful. I hope to come back in the future. |

After 10 days travelling through Costa Rica, it was the best choice to end our journey in this wonderful lodge. Nearly paradise, no cars, only silcence and the sounds of the wildlife. |

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take but by the number of places that take your breath away. This place definitely did ! |

Thanks to Esther for helping organizing a pelagic birding trip for Soo and Flip and the crew from Osprey Tours. Outstanding food and hospitality. We shall return to enjoy the land birds around the lodge as well as the pelagics. We saw over 2000 pelagic birds of many species. A great place and lovely stay. |

This is a true paradise of plants, birds and wildlife. The sounds at dawn and nightfall are a delight. Thank you for your warm welcome and excellent hospitality. This is definite a highlight of Costa Rica. |

Peninsula de Osa is beautiful, but Golfo Dulce is stunning and deserves even more recognition from other than people who already know and appreciate it. Birds are magnificent and seem much more accessible than on the Osa. The Cabins are superb, with the bathrooms probably second to none for cleanliness. All the staff were all so helpful and friendly. A lodge that is very special, please keep it that way. We would like to come back |

To come to the Golfo Dulce is to slip out of the world of everyday business and to close the door on all the 'must-dos' and to retreat to the unbelievable beauty of the natural world, the air is fragrant and humming and buzzing with the sound of birds and insects. It is enough to sit, look, listen .. Thank you for providing this retreat complete with wonderful food and great accommodation. We are very sad to leave and hope to return. We leave with wonderful memories to refresh us as we get back to work at home. |

This is as close to paradise as I have been on this earth – complete peace and relaxation. I have enjoyed the gracious and thoughtful hospitality, the comfortable accommodations, delicious food and surrounding nature. You have created a beautiful retreat in the jungle. |

Nous ne sommes malheureusement restés que 2 jours bien trop court pour profiter de toutes ces merveilles. Un vrai paradis. On a vraiment eu beaucoup de plaisir á séjourner ici. Merci pour votre accueil, votre gentillesse et merci également á tout le personnel. La nourriture est également excellente .. On reviendra. |

Basilisks, macaws, squirrel monkeys and a wild party of frogs to serenade us to sleep – what more could we ecologists on holiday ask for ! A very enjoyable stay, good food and expert help with identifying and finding wildlife. |

I will miss waking up to the ‘noisy birds’, taking a walk in the forest before breakfast and listening to the concert of the jungle. You have made life very comfortable and enjoyable for us and we are grateful. Hasta la proxima vez. |

We have added to our list of birds seen, lost pounds of water via sweat only to replace it with great food. We have learnt a lot more about nature. |
