My husband and I just got back from our friends wedding at Bosque del Cabo and it was amazing! Not only did the staff greet you right away (they remembered our names throughout the entire stay which was impressive haha). The cabanas seem to be all different which was awesome, and you feel like your in the heart of the rainforest with so much wild like around you. You wouldn't think you would get good sleep, but man did we have the best sleep ever with it so dark and peaceful at night. My husband and his friend went fishing the next day which was a blast, and caught some red snapper in which the staff cooked it up for lunch that day. They truly have some great chefs onsite. Our friends had their wedding reception there and they were so accommodating for the wedding group, and also respectful of the other guests staying there as well. It was very well managed and executed. A lot of us got massages which was so peaceful, and we also went on the catamaran for 12 guests which I highly recommend. Bosque took care of our lunches and transportation, and booking it with the captain. We were gone all day and it was surreal...our boat was in the ocean with about 200-300 dolphins, then snorkelling in the beautiful teal green/blue water, and listening to music and sailing was just perfection. All in all, we had the best time with all our friends, and whether you go with friends, kids or family, there is something to do for everyone. I would give this place a 20 out of 10 if I could as the owners (Kim and Phillip) are great to work with, staff are so friendly. You are truly in the rainforest and it forces you to put down your phones/computers and really enjoy the true beauty that mother nature has to offer! Best, Samantha & Ramon Pradera

It's hard to say anything that hasn't already been said in all the rave reviews on Tripadvisor. I've been coming to Costa Rica for almost 30 years now, since studying abroad back in the '90s, and I was skeptical that this place could live up to the hype. But it did, and then some. What really distinguishes Bosque del Cabo is the location and the people. The wildlife viewing opportunities on the hotel property are like none we've ever experienced. We saws monkeys (howler, capuchin, and spider), coatimundis, peccaries, agouti, snakes, bats, poison dart frogs, macaws, toucans, an anteater, and much more. To top it off, on our last morning we saw a puma out in the open on our way back to Casa Coco. Amazing! If you want to see wildlife, this is the place to go. Aside from the setting, the owners have created a really special guest experience because of the amazing staff. Without doubt, the people behind Bosque del Cabo are what make this place so special. From the owners to each and every staff member, the hospitality was amazing. It's hard to describe, but you'll understand when you visit. The vibe is pura vida at its finest. In terms of activities, there are plenty to chose from. We did a guided hike with Carlos on our first morning, which allows you to see all the hidden wildlife that you might miss and get a lay of the land. We also did the catamaran tour of the Gulfo Dulce--we saw hundreds of dolphins and the captain (Cali) was awesome. The rest of the time we hiked in the mornings in later afternoons, rested by the private pool in between, and enjoyed great dinners at the main lodge in the evenings. It's easy to understand why BdC has so many return visitors. It really is an exceptional place.
