Best Eco-Resorts

Everyone wants to rank eco-resorts (the buzzword of the decade).  But no one listed my most recent favorite–Bosque del Cabo in the Osa Penninsula.  I was sorely tempted to try Corcovado Tent Camp (listed in 1000 Places…) but there were 5 of us, and they would only allow 4 in a tent, even after I promised that we could carry our own air mattress). I just couldn’t justify spending the money to sleep 8 when I only needed 5. Instead, Bosque del Cabo rented us Casa Miramar, an open air house with amazing views and fridge-raiding coatis.

There’s Outside Magazine’s Best Eco-Getaways (2008), Travel and Leisure’s 25 Best Eco-Lodges (2003) , and Budget Travel’s Top Ten Eco-Lodges (2005)  and Lonely Planet’s Bluelist of Eco-Lodges.

I’ve seen very few of these because I’m cheap, cheap, cheap. There is so much of the world left to see (and so much travel to finance) that I tend towards cheap serviceable accommodations (or hostels, camping, or home exchanges) in order to save my money for experience splurges or airfare. But some of these lodges sound pretty tempting….
