Major Upgrades and Improvements at Crocodile Bay for 2022

Major Upgrades and Improvements at Crocodile Bay for 2022

As Crocodile Bay approaches our 23rd year in operation, we are continuing with our expansion and making exciting upgrades to our fishing fleet and our facilities. Our fishing guests at Crocodile Bay Resort will love our brand-new accommodations: Botánika Osa Peninsula, Curio Collection by Hilton.

Botánika is the brand-new anchor hotel on the property and will provide our fishing guests top-tier service, premium lodging and exceptional culinary delights. There’s still plenty of shore-based activities as well. Our property, fleet and accommodations are growing, improving and upgrading– yet our fantastic fishing and family atmosphere remain the same.

We are so excited to share with you that at the very same time Crocodile Bay Resort is evolving to provide the most comfortable accommodations to its friends and family, we have also added a considerable amount of extra comfort to your vacation time. We are driving with all cylinders to improve every aspect of the services we provide to all of you.

As an added bonus, in 2022 the majority of our sportfishing fleet will be repowered with 14 new Suzuki DF 200 horsepower outboards for our Boston Whaler Outrages, and 5 new Caterpillar C7.1 425 horsepower inboard diesels. For our Eco Tour department we are adding an Isuzu 4×4 pick-up truck, one Hyundai 4×4 Starex van and a fourth Toyota Landcruiser 4×4 to be sure we can get you as deep into the jungle as you would like to go on your animal safaris!!! We also purchased a 23 person van for reception to be sure we have all the space needed to bring our friends and family and all the luggage they will need to enjoy their time in paradise!

Next time you visit your favorite jungle sanctuary, you will be amazed to see how we combined a rustic elegance to your new lodging at Botánika.

Even though our name has changed, the things that have kept you coming back year after year remain exactly the same.

A complete list of the updates we recently added on:

  • 14 Suzuki DF 200 Horsepower Outboards
  • 5 Caterpillar C7.1 425 Horsepower Diesel Inboards
  • Isuzu 4×4 Pick-up Truck
  • Hyundai 4×4 Starex Van
  • Toyota Landcruiser 4×4
  • 23 person Van for Reception
