How this holiday makes a difference

Environment:
Our Costa Rica ecolodge was built to be a small 14+2 bungalow project providing protection to over 1,000 acres of rainforest.

The ecolodge maintains architectural integrity with the surrounding area and local styles and utilizes sustainable construction methods and materials. We are vigilant in energy conservation through passive design and renewable sources and use a sustainable approach to chemical use, waste, sewage, recycling and water management. We pay attention and respect the wildlife and the natural setting.

The ecolodge is a Private Nature Preserve, Reforestation Project and Model Demonstration of Ecotourism and Sustainable Development. The 1000-acre area is a wildlife corridor and protective barrier for the 100,000-acre Corcovado National Park. It contains some of the last remaining tropical lowland rain forest existing in in Costa Rica and Central America. It has birds, trees and plants found nowhere else in the world.

The project has successfully protected 1,000 acres of mostly primary rainforest from logging and uncontrolled development making it a sanctuary for a variety of plants and animals. Access to the interior of the 1,000-acre private reserve is by professional guide only. Volunteer reforestation program utilizing guests to plant native trees as a tour they can select.

Community:
We place a great emphasis on educating guests, staff and locals on natural and cultural issues. We employ only local staff in all operations and currently employ about 50 people.

Reviewed 07 Mar 2007 by Sara McKenzie5 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Staying at this accommodation! It was fantastic to be so close to the jungle, and so remote from the real world. The accommodations were first-rate, and the level of service unsurpassed. The local knowledge of, and respect for, the rain forest and all of its creatures was impressive.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


It's okay for younger kids, but not the best vacation spot for them. You should be somewhat fit (at the accommodation, ready to climb stairs!), and ready to enjoy quiet time with no TV, no radio, no Muzak.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Absolutely. The local folks were the majority of the employees, and were clearly eager to learn their job skills and execute them with pride.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


******** It was easily the best vacation I have had- ever.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Having a 4 foot male iguana stroll across the swimming pool grounds while sunbathing only 3 feet away! The barman, Ronnie, was a real gem as well. If it wasn't for his local knowledge, quality service and genuine personality we would probably have given this accommodation a far lesser evaluation.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


We were not made aware of the fact that this lodge is so popular with families with small children and this somewhat spoilt our stay at the lodge. After all, we were lead to believe that it was perfect for honeymooners and couples like us. Instead, we were the ONLY couple there!

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


I feel that the lodge do a good job on the eco-friendly side of things and that their staff do all that they can to promote this fact.

4. Any other comments?


Sadly, my star rating for this accommodation after our stay could be no more than 3 stars ***

Read the operator's response here:

First of all, I would like to thank you for the time you spend sending us the feedback you provide us with.

I’m sorry to hear that you did not have the honeymoon that you expected to have in our Ecolodge. It is well known around the world as one of the best destinations for honeymooners as well as for families. Even though we do not encourage children under 5 years old due the fact of potential hazards that they might find in the rain forest and also because the parents have to exercise more care and give more attention to their children here than in a more traditional family type resort. Parents have found that our accommodation is one of the best places to teach their children that they can spend their holidays in a real responsible way that benefits the environment as well as supports the education and increases the life standard of the Osa community.

There are three seasons of the year that we mostly receive families mainly from U.S.A. Christmas/new eve, spring break and school vacations. The rest of the year we have mostly couples. Unfortunately, this year your dates matched with the spring break and this situation somehow spoilt your stay and your perception of our Ecolodge.

Again, we appreciate your feedback. it is very helpful for us and the lesson learned is that we have to work on our communication. Thanks also for seeing the positive things in your experience and we sincerely hope to have you back at our accommodation soon.
