Why should you trust us?
The Swank Guide has partnered with Booking.com and Tripadvisor to provide easy booking links for the hotels we recommend. Why? Because it ensures we can get you the lowest price, and it helps us continue to bring you empowering and entertaining content.
This new booking feature does not signal a change in our total editorial independence or in our status as a fully fan-supported business. Simply put: we have no financial relationship with any hotel or experience we recommend. We do not accept bags of cash, Dodgers tickets, sacrificial animals or blushing flatteries. The only way to get recommended by Swank is if we've tried it, loved it and would recommend it to our family and friends.

Swank you!

The best of Costa Rica travel? The Golfo Dulce Costa Rica, on the Osa Peninsula, and adjacent to the Piedras Blancas National Park, is our favorite Costa Rica resort. The Golfo Dulce Retreat – Rainforest & Beach Ecolodge is a quiet, remote, understated and very private retreat that’s great if you are looking for something unusual. Take our video tour.
