Wow, what an awesome place! My 12-yr old son Zander is already talking about going back as soon as possible! Harvey and Susan are wonderful, and were really attentive, making our stay very enjoyable. Great food, and great companionship with Harvey, Susan, and the other guests. Kayaking and snorkeling were great, and had a great morning of fishing with Harvey.... More

It's not every trip that you arrive as guests and leave as friends. Owners Harvey and Susan Woodard made our experience at Saladero truly memorable -- one we're already looking forward to repeating next year. Their location is wonderfully remote and surrounded by the natural beauty of the Golfo Dulce and Piedras Blancas National Park, which we enjoyed exploring by... More

We have stayed at Saladerro twice, for one week last year and two weeks this year. For people that love nature and outdoor activities this place is outstanding. Add in the friendly hosts, Susan and Harvey and you quickly realize this place is as special as all the rave reviews say. We find the location is perfect for wildlife viewing... More

We've travelled around Costa Rica and stayed in lots of places, but Saladero is a special, unique place. Here you are in the heart of the jungle and experience a real bit of nature close up. At Saladero you are miles away from anywhere; but it's still very easy to get to. We left our car at the Samoa del... More

This is our 4th trip to the Saladero Lodge. We love it! Instant relaxation. Take an easy shuttle flight into Puerto Jiménez or Golfito, and Harvey & Susan are very friendly and take care of the rest for your entire stay. They pick you up at the dock for a beautiful voyage along the coast to the secluded and safe... More

Well, what can we add to the other rave reviews about Saladero? It's all true: this place is absolutely wonderful, the location is stunning, the food superb (try the guacamole!) and Harvey and Susan are wonderful hosts who really made us feel at home at Saladero. We stayed at the Beach House for 4 nights in december 2011 and very... More

The highlight of our 3 weeks family trip around Costa Rica were the 4 days at Saladero Lodge. We were happy to stay close to the phantastic nature, between the rainforest and the ocean with dolphins playing in front of us during lunch. We were lazy in the hammock and active by canoeing, snorkeling, fishing, hiking etc. We appreciated very... More
