welcome patams - to answer a few of your questions..
1. BdC's website is www.bosquedelcabo.com

2. Do a forum search here for trip reports - tons of them. Here is a link for my trip report and photos...

3. The Casa Miramar might be of interest to your group - don't know how big your group is.

4. There really isn't any evening/night activities - small bar at the pool. You make your own entertainment. You can be as loud as you want at Casa Miramar because you are more secluded from the lodge. If you are wanting more and this is really important, then you might be disappointed.

5. The doors do not have screens and can be left wide open. Most windows have screens. You do have a netting for your bed which we used not because of mosquitoes but to make sure there were no surprises in the middle of the night. You need to expect the occasional gecko and grasshopper in the room, but it won't be anything like that Expedia commercial from a year or two back.

Feel free to ask more questions.

patams, last time I was at BdC there was a large family group and they seemed to be having a fine time. They were staying in one of the houses and raved about it. They usually ate their meals with everyone else, but you could also do on your own.

There are screens on the windows and doors, the showers are outside. They are not sealed though, so once in a while little bugs get in, or an iguana (which is good as they eat the bugs!) and I even had a crab in my shower once. I think the most "oh" moment was a bushy spider in my closet about the size of an egg; other than that just mostly tiny bugs that you don't even notice after a while.

The grounds and the nature around BdC are truly outstanding, I would not go back every year if it weren't! And while there are many other places in CR that I have enjoyed a lot, or have yet, BdC to me remains the epitome of outstanding places to stay.

tully - which ones had screens on their doors? I looked at about 5 of them and they were just doors - no screens....

Wasn't a big deal for us, but it would be good to know.

loco - the windows have screens, the doors don't, they're just louvered, sorry if that didn't make sense.

Are they still getting those night raiders at Casa Miramar????

Tully,
Have you been having fun with deliveries? I had two 18 gal plastic containers full to the rim last time.

Suzie, actually I think I may manage with a carry on for her stuff, she's going pretty small this time (dvd's, cd's etc). I hope it'll fit as I'll feel better knowing someone in baggage won't get sticky fingers. It works out great too as her friend Alberto is meeting me to pick up the stuff at SJO and he is also the one taking me from PL to Sansa, so it'll be nice to touch base and make sure we're good to go.

fyi - told me the other day some guests went out to the the golfo and saw a whale shark! How awesome would that be? I'm hoping for the ride from PJ to Playa Nicuesa I'll spot something, excited as I've never been out there on the Golfo.

How cool!!!! We have seen lots of Dolphins, sea turtles, and iguanas swimming across. I'm sure you'll see something. Did see a whale from Congo cabina one Feb. It breeched twice and then disappeared. I thought I was seeing things because I wanted to see one so bad and then it came up a second time and my husband saw it too.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. That is supposed to be a good place to see whales from both the Northern and Southern hemisphere but in all my trips down there have only seen the one.

One more thing for you to dream about before you go. At this rate, you won't get any sleep and you'll sleep through the whole trip!

After all the other trip reports about Playa Nicuesa I am anxious to read yours too.

Hi,
We are planning to stay at Bosque for 3 nights in July. The rooms we have been offered are the Pizote (which is a standard cabina) or the Vista Mar Suite, which is more of a room (not a cabina).
Can you please let me know which of these are good. Also, if you know of any other standard rooms that are good, please let me know. Thanks a lot. TB

El Sol, excellent. Best shower of all the cabinas, my opinion.

Suzie2 Apr 28th, 2007 01:00 PM

I would probably take Pizote just based on the fact that it is a cabin.
