The Lookout Inn is located in Costa Rica on the "Osa Peninsula" at the extreme end of the road in Carate. We are ideally situated to offer comfortable eco-friendly accommodations to the traveler visiting this remote part of Costa Rica.

This is the Primary Entry Point to "Corcovado National Park" which is considered one of the world's great wildlife reserves. A guided tour into the park is an unforgettable experience.

The Lookout Inn is nestled in the hillside along the coast overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Corcovado National Park.

Venture away from the comfort of the Lookout Inn each morning and enjoy the Largest Protected Tract of Pacific Coast Rainforest remaining in the Western Hemisphere, and yet return to a comfortable room at the end of a long day of exploring. And best of all, The Lookout Inn is very affordable (see Reservations for pricing).

The wildlife here is absolutely extraordinary, the plant life more diverse than you will find anywhere in the world, and the butterflies, other insects and birds will just blow you away. Visit the waterfalls and climb the Stairway to Heaven.

The Lookout Rooms

The guest rooms each have their own spacious bathroom, hot water shower, and fan. The tile floors and baths add a luxurious touch. The custom made doors are uniquely carved by a local craftsman and a creative artist has done some lovely mural work on the insides of the rooms. The furniture, which includes armoires, tables, chairs, and queen sized beds are a mix of bamboo, wicker, and indigenous woods. The rooms are kept cool and quiet by the concrete construction, 10 foot high ceilings, and lack of direct sunlight.See the Rooms Photo Index See the Rates page

The Lookout Private Cabins

The private guest cabinas each have a bathroom with hot water, private balconies and hammocks. There are paths to the beach, pool & house. Use of wood throughout the cabinas give a sense of warmth yet the open air style allows the cooling effect of the ocean breezes to waft though the cabinas. The furniture, which includes armoires, tables, chairs, and queen sized beds are a mix of bamboo, wicker, and indigenous woods.

The Lookout Master Suite

The master suite is larger than the normal rooms, is on the main deck with great views and hammocks in front overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It has a huge cement tub with shower and 2 sinks, along with netting over the bed, fan & lights, a wonderful room for honeymooners. See the Master Suite Photo Index

The Lookout Tiki Huts

These open air A-Frame Tiki Huts are 10 feet off the ground, giving you a tree house feeling, on a living hillside. Each hut has a queen bed, table and chairs, fan, lights and netting surrounding your bed. Staying with our eco-friendly philosophy, solar will power the fan & lights. You are surrounded by a colorful garden mixed with orchids, flowers, banana and fruit trees, jungle growth, giant Joba trees full of Iguanas and scarlet macaws. Enjoy the walk from the bottom deck onto the boardwalk winding around trees and garden area, down a few steps to your private entrance. This walkway rolls through the hilly garden to the horse corral, to the beach and also passes a hammock and chair platform high above, a perfect place for yoga or just waiting for that Kodak moment. The two Tiki huts are separate cabins completely out of view from the other with a central bathhouse in the middle. This wild bathhouse is very private for the guests but exposed to the animal kingdom with the open front facing the ocean and the jungle life; it’s the greatest shower you’ll take. If you’re wanting to be ‘one’ with nature, you can’t get much closer than this. See the Tiki Hut
