Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to encounter during a stay at Otro Lado Lodge?

We love that Otro Lado Lodge, nestled so close to Refugio de Vida Silvestre Romelia, offers incredible opportunities for casual wildlife spotting right from your balcony. We've often seen howler monkeys traversing the canopy, vibrant toucans flitting between trees, and even sloths moving at their own leisurely pace. The air is alive with the calls of exotic birds, making every moment a potential discovery.

When is the optimal time of year to visit Otro Lado Lodge for the best experience?

We firmly recommend visiting Otro Lado Lodge during Costa Rica's dry season, typically from December to April. The weather is consistently sunny and pleasant, making jungle walks more comfortable and wildlife more active and visible. While the green season offers lush landscapes, we find the dry months provide the most reliable and enjoyable experience for exploring the surrounding refuge.

What is the overall atmosphere and unique charm of Otro Lado Lodge itself?

Otro Lado Lodge feels luxurious and timeless, a true sanctuary where the sounds of the jungle provide a natural soundtrack. We adore its intimate scale and the way it blends seamlessly with the natural environment, offering a sense of secluded elegance. The sunsets are sensational from the main terrace, painting the sky with fiery hues as you unwind with a refreshing drink.

How challenging is it to reach Otro Lado Lodge, and what transportation do you recommend?

Reaching Otro Lado Lodge requires a bit of planning, but we assure you the journey is part of the adventure. We recommend flying into Tambor (TMU) and then arranging a transfer, or taking a scenic ferry from Puntarenas to Paquera if driving from San José. The final stretch can involve some unpaved roads, so a 4x4 vehicle or pre-arranged lodge transfer is highly advisable for comfort and ease.

Beyond relaxing at the lodge, what specific activities or excursions do you recommend from Otro Lado Lodge, particularly involving Refugio de Vida Silvestre Romelia?

We strongly suggest taking a guided walk into Refugio de Vida Silvestre Romelia, which Otro Lado Lodge can easily arrange. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn about the local ecosystem and spot elusive species with an expert eye. Additionally, we love the boat tours along the coast, offering a different perspective of the peninsula and chances to see marine life like dolphins and sea turtles.
