Casa Grande at Pacuare Reserve

Amazing location and staff absolutely fantastic. Experiencing the turtle monitoring, the boat tour and the north station hike were highlights for us .

Some sort of fan in the bedrooms would have been appreciated for the particularly hot and humid nights or mosquito nets so the windows and doors could be left open to allow airflow into the rooms. Hammocks or more relaxed seating for guests to use in the communal areas or on the guest house deck would have been nice - somewhere separate to the EPI group for quiet moments during the day. More opportunities to go out in the tour boats - day and night tours perhaps?

The rooms are very basic, but clean. There is no fan, no AC and little electricity. . but it’s ALL ok.. because this is a magical experience at a very special place on earth with really nice people with the greatest heart — who help turtles survive! ?? lots of wildlife (also mammals! ) in the jungle… great tours with enthousiasts young people included with the stay… Thanks Rose! she was great! !

it’s a pity that it’s not allowed to swim in the sea, so it can get hot! an outdoor shower at the beach or something could be great. . to cool down and rinse off.

Pacuare is an amazing experience. When you have grown tired of the big resorts, you can access a unique part of CR here. We saw many animals, that we did not see elsewhere – even after 2 stays in Tortuguero, Pacuare was its own. And even if we did not see a single turtle (nor egg-laying or hatching) – since we came out of season, it was still a great experience. Michael needs a special thanks – extraordinary service minded and helped us to a great stay. We will surely comeback – also to get to see Agamis ;). PS. Amazing food. Perhaps the best food we got on our entire 3 weeks in Costa Rica. Well done to the kitchen in Pacuare :).

If you arrive during Summer Time, it can be incredibly hot. Remember – this place is rustic and not a 5 star hotel. You will be woken at night by snoring monkeys and happy frogs – but that is the reason why you go here of course so don't complain and enjoy a wonderful place in total isolation.

We stayed here for 2 nights with our kids (8/10yo) and had a fantastic time. We were able to watch a turtle laying eggs and witness baby leatherback turtles scramble for the sea. The staff is amazing, friendly and very helpful. There is so much wildlife to see! Even just the boat ride getting there is amazing. All the meals were delicious. The accommodation itself is basic but comfortable. We would love to come back me back!

The Casa Grande at Pacuare Reserve is an amazing place if you like pure nature and wildlife as we do. Thus we were grateful when we had the chance to see leader back turtles coming to the shore in the evening/night to lay eggs, a slot close to the kitchen, monkeys playing at the reserve, bats resting close to the apartment, frogs, snakes… and finally even baby turtles hatching. The food was nice and coffee, water and tee always at free dispose. Apartment was small but sufficient especially as we had a nice terrasse with a hammock and sofa? Further we did several hikes into the jungle with Eduardo which were amazing – especially due to the knowledge and passion/love which Eduardo has about and for the jungle; in case you love photography he is as well the right man, as we shares that passion and has a great eye for the animals and the right light – thanks all again! Hope till soon again. PS: Don’t forget the insect repellent?

nothing, or maybe that I would have loved to see a puma^^ maybe next time; ).
