<h2>Explore the Unspoiled Rainforest at Botanika Osa Peninsula&nbsp;</h2>The Botanika Osa Peninsula by Hilton is a true rarity on Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula. Opened in 2022, it's the very first (and so far, only) branded resort in this most remote and wild part of the country. Formerly the Crocodile Bay Resort, the hotel now renamed, rebranded, and refurbished to Hilton standards to provide a comfortable escape on the Osa Peninsula for guests of all types.&nbsp;Located on over 40 acres of stunning tropical gardens adjacent to the waters of the Golfo Dulce and the Crocodile Bay marina, Botanika offers 43 air-conditioned rooms and suites, perfect for resting after a long day exploring the rainforests or enjoying the ocean.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552007/botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_pool_shack_close_up_puerto_jimenez_4106980fea.jpg" alt="botanika-osa-peninsula-curio-collection-by-hilton-pool-shack-close-up-puerto-jimenez.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552008/thumbnail_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_pool_shack_close_up_puerto_jimenez_4106980fea.jpg 234w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552011/small_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_pool_shack_close_up_puerto_jimenez_4106980fea.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552009/medium_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_pool_shack_close_up_puerto_jimenez_4106980fea.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552008/large_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_pool_shack_close_up_puerto_jimenez_4106980fea.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"><h2>A Remote Resort</h2>Botanika is the most resort-like hotel on the Osa Peninsula. Guests will be able to enjoy and utilize a range of amenities, from the lagoon-style swimming pool to the jacuzzis, wellness center, kids club, and business center. They can also take advantage of the onsite kayaks, boogie boards, and paddle boards.&nbsp;The concierge at Botanika is always on hand, and can help guests arrange their tours and excursions around this remote part of Costa Rica. The pristine rainforests and beaches of the Corcovado National Park are within easy access, as are the waters of the Golfo Dulce and Pacific Ocean. Botanika comes with its own deep-water harbor, which will serve as a hub for marine adventures like sport fishing and whale watching.&nbsp;Other activities available at Botanika include volunteering experiences like sea turtle conservation, mangrove kayaking, and more.<figure class="image"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552004/botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_living_room_overview_puerto_jimenez_d6f30243ad.jpg" alt="botanika-osa-peninsula-curio-collection-by-hilton-living-room-overview-puerto-jimenez.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552005/thumbnail_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_living_room_overview_puerto_jimenez_d6f30243ad.jpg 234w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552006/small_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_living_room_overview_puerto_jimenez_d6f30243ad.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552006/medium_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_living_room_overview_puerto_jimenez_d6f30243ad.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552005/large_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_living_room_overview_puerto_jimenez_d6f30243ad.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw"></figure><h3>World-Class Fishing For All Abilities</h3>But it's the fishing that draws people to Botanika, formerly know as Crocodile Bay Resort. With the most extensive professional sportfishing team in Central America, anglers of all abilities will find themselves in onshore and offshore paradise. And that's not even to mention the fly fishing, surf fishing, and kayak fishing available at Crocodile Bay.&nbsp;Some fish that live in the waters around Crocodile Bay include marlin, sailfish, dorado, tuna, cubera snapper, jack crevalle, bluefin trevally, sierra mackerel, tripletail, and grouper, depending on the time of the year. In addition, anglers in the know consider this area one of the world’s best destinations for roosterfish.&nbsp;<h3 style="margin-left:0px;">Other Activities Available At Crocodile Bay</h3>Other activities outside of fishing are available at Crocodile Bay Resort. This is the Osa Peninsula, after all, home of the famous Corcovado National Park. In addition, it's easy to arrange a guided hike from Crocodile Bay.&nbsp;And then there's Puerto Jimenez itself. The town is close to the resort - only a few minutes walk away. It's a great place to explore, do some shopping, and maybe grab something to eat, although that might not be needed, as a stay at Crocodile Bay means meal-inclusive at the onsite restaurant.&nbsp;<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552009/botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_resort_common_areas_overview_puerto_jimenez_96825b699d.jpg" alt="botanika-osa-peninsula-curio-collection-by-hilton-resort-common-areas-overview-puerto-jimenez.jpg" srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552010/thumbnail_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_resort_common_areas_overview_puerto_jimenez_96825b699d.jpg 234w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552011/small_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_resort_common_areas_overview_puerto_jimenez_96825b699d.jpg 500w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552011/medium_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_resort_common_areas_overview_puerto_jimenez_96825b699d.jpg 750w,https://res.cloudinary.com/vacationscostarica-com/image/upload/v1659552010/large_botanika_osa_peninsula_curio_collection_by_hilton_resort_common_areas_overview_puerto_jimenez_96825b699d.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">&nbsp;<h2>Close to Puerto Jimenez</h2>The hotel offers a quick shuttle service to and from town - so guests can also check out local shops and restaurants if they wish. This is a rare thing on the Osa Peninsula, where most hotels are far more isolated in the middle of the rainforest.&nbsp;And talking of eating out, the hotel comes with its very own Tierra a la Mesa restaurant. Tierra a la Mesa serves traditional and innovative land-to-table and fresh seafood dishes. There's also the Driza bar, perfect for cocktails and sundowners with its own modern menu that includes tapas, ceviche, Peruvian-style “tiraditos,” healthy fresh salads, and the best burgers in town.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you're looking to experience the Osa Peninsula while retaining the comfort of a Hilton-branded resort, then Botanika is your perfect vacation spot.&nbsp;<h3>Get Your Catch Prepared For Your Dinner</h3>Not surprisingly, the restaurant maintains a strong focus on seafood, and you can even get your catch prepared for your dinner. So whether you want tasty ceviche, fresh sushi, or your fish grilled to perfection, your catch can be prepared as you wish. And, of course, you can always choose the fresh fish selections at the restaurant itself, accompanied by delicious local produce.&nbsp;<h2>Contact Us for More Information</h2>To learn more about Botanika Osa Peninsula by Hilton and whether a stay here would work for you, contact our travel advisors, who will be happy to help and answer any questions you might have.
