About us
We’re a Costa Rican family who have been living in the Peninsula de Osa
(southern Costa Rica) since 1968.
In 1990 we got involved with tourism. We started with four cabins and taxi service to hotels and lodges in and around the Peninsula de Osa.
On 2006 we initiated the construction of our own lodge to offer Arenas de Osa’s clients nice, well-equipped rooms.
In Arenas de Osa we love nature and therefore we protect our rainforests, oceans and rivers.
Arenas de Osa Lodge is an affordable eco-friendly beach hotel located on Costa Rica's Southern Pacific Coast in the Golfo Dulce, "the Sweet Gulf", in the Osa Peninsula. The Osa Peninsula is home to the world famous Corcovado National Park which has been described as one of the most biologically intense places in the world by the National Geographic Society.
Arenas de Osa Lodge is located in the town of Puerto Jimenez directly on the way to Corcovado National Park. We are the only first-class beach hotel located in the town of Puerto Jimenez. Each room is beautiful and modern, with air-conditioning, and free internet access. A continental breakfast is also included at Arenas de Osa Restaurant.
Arenas de Osa, in Puerto Jimenez, is just steps away from beautiful beaches, and a few minutes walk from the small fishing town of Puerto Jimenez which was originally a gold mining town and has recently become the stepping off point for Costa Rica Eco-Tours in and around Corcovado National Park, as well as a gathering place for world-class sports fishing.
Come and enjoy our comfortable rooms. English and Spanish are spoken and we will be happy to arrange tours and airport pickup for your convenience.
