As the premier Costa Rica fishing resort, the Crocodile Bay Lodge is adjacent to some of Costa Rica's most beautiful beaches. It sits on its own 44 acres of tropical gardens which are located on the Golfo Dulce (right by the small rustic and friendly village of Puerto Jimenez) on the Osa Peninsula in Southwest Costa Rica. The “Osa” has been described by National Geographic as, "The most ecologically intense place on earth."
      The lodge structures are strategically located throughout the landscaped property with the main building housing the restaurant, bar and reception area. There's also a tackle and gift shop where one can purchase inshore or offshore fishing lures (made on the premises) for souvenirs or for use at another time, as well as locally made gifts of all kinds. The pool and jacuzzi were designed utilizing our unique property characteristics including waterfalls and jungle environment. They are conveniently accessible to all guests. The lodge is staffed by friendly, English-speaking and well experienced personnel guaranteed to make your stay an exciting and unforgettable one.
       After a day on the water, or returning from a thrilling adventure tour, enjoy your favorite cocktail or beverage at our open bar, take a relaxing swim, dine in our elegant air-conditioned restaurant or walk through our tropical gardens. Watch and listen for the sounds of local wildlife. At any given time you may see one of several species of monkeys or other mammals, lizards and other reptiles, or perhaps a parrot. Or what is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful birds in the world, the scarlet macaw.
      The Costa Rica salt-water sportfishing is world-class with Bill Fishing in the Pacific Ocean for Sailfish, Striped, Blue and Black Marlin, Dorado, Tuna and Wahoo. Fishing in the Golfo Dulce for Roosterfish, Cubera Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Bluefin Trevally, Sierra Mackerel, Tripletail, and Grouper is excellent throughout the year. We provide a variety of sportfishing options such as; live bait, trolling, casting, and fly-fishing inshore and offshore.
     Crocodile Bay Lodge is Costa Rica's newest and finest Sport Fishing and Eco-Tour Resort. The sport fishing resort is located on 44 acres with 34 air-conditioned rooms in Puerto Jimenez on the Osa Peninsula. Our exquisite lodge features a top of the line daily menu, swimming pool, hot tub, massage room and a conference center that accommodates up to 80 people.

     Inside the Gulf, there's a wealth of opportunities. The lodge's 21', center console boats are perfectly suited to these calmer waters and able to patrol the rocky shore easily. Drift live bait, cast a plug or even a fly, for the exotic roosterfish, or bulldog-strong cubera snapper. Sneak up on a school of jack in a feeding frenzy, or drop a jig along the rocks for snapper and grouper. The possibilities are almost endless.
