“Paradise”

Reviewed 5 May 2013

I was really lucky to have stayed for an extended time there in March. Some previous comments have left me astounded....I think that some people must have stayed in a completely different place. Finca Exotica and the cabinas and tiki tents- I was fortunate to stay in both-, the food and ALL the staff were amazing. Nothing was too much... More

“Finca Exotica a great get away for family”

Reviewed 4 May 2013

We spent 6 nights at Finca Exotica. This was our family's first trip to Costa Rica. It was excellent from start to finish. Property and accommodations are beautifully sculpted into a rainforest setting that runs right down to a beautiful beach. Because this is an eco-lodge, you feel part of the landscape instead of an invader. The staff is friendly... More

“ABSOLUTELY THE PERFECT ECO LODGE CHOICE FOR US!”

Reviewed 28 April 2013

I will do my best to describe how wonderful our stay was, but I'm not sure I can do it justice. From start to finish it was exactly what we had hoped it would be. This was our first trip out of the United States, so we are not seasoned travelers. Accomodations: Finca is an eco lodge, and thus they... More

Finca is the vision of one extraordinary, multi-talented and kind person who found the perfect setting and a superb team to help him accomplish his dream: building a stylish and sustainable eco lodge with a rich organic farm and botanical garden, harmonically coexisting with the abundant biota from the surrounding primary rainforest and unspoiled beach. Getting there can be an... More

In addition to the sounds, your other senses will be working: the fragrances of the gardens, the views of the ocean, the taste of Chief Coco's delicious fresh fusion... More

“A real getaway?”

Reviewed 9 April 2013

Finca is very remote and for this reason they effortlessly offer a genuine jungle "immersion" experience. The bamboo cabins & other structures on the property are well built and nicely decorated and arranged. Access to Corcovado is a short walk away. We booked on Booking.com and found out once we arrived that this was a "bed & breakfast" rate which... More

Thank you very much for taking the time to write a review about your time here. The Bookings website clearly states that the price includes bed and breakfast ONLY- we are very sorry that you failed to read all of the reservation details. To make sure that this confusion does not arise again, we will defnitely be contacting all future... More

“I would give 0 if I could”

Reviewed 5 April 2013

We drove 6 hours through the jungle to the middle of nowhere [30+ km of dirt roads and fording small rivers] and arrived at 8pm to find we had no room. The two owners/bosses claimed they never received our reservation from Expedia, despite the fact we had a confirmation email from Expedia. We suggested we call Expedia to sort it... More

We are very sad to hear of your misfortune of booking through Expedia. Unfortunately, we never confirmed your reservation as we were completely full for your chosen dates.

Our 3 night stay at Finca Exotica is one we will never forget. This was truly the best remote jungle experience we have ever had.

“An authentic Osa experience!”

Reviewed 18 March 2013

We traveled to the Osa and stayed at Finca as part of a yoga retreat and eco-tourism experience. Finca is nestled in the jungle, right on the pacific ocean, a 1-1.5 hour very bumpy ride from Puerto Jimenez. We were assigned a cabina that was perched high up on a steep hill above the main lodge but well worth the... More
