  Lovely relaxed hotel in the jungle

  We absolutely loved our stay at the Jungle Beach Hotel. The pool/ restaurant area is perfect for spotting wildlife. We saw squirrel monkeys, white faced monkeys, howler monkeys, geckos, large blue butterflies, and deer. It was amazing to hear the howler monkeys. The room was comfortable, clean, and the bed was huge! We enjoyed the food and cocktails- one night we had one of the best mojitos we’ve ever had! It has a relaxed vibe. It was a very short walk to the beach, where we rented sun loungers, and saw toucans and monkeys. There was a small shop nearby (more shops/ restaurants are approx 10 min walk away). All the staff we spoke to were friendly, but we spoke to Carlos the most- he is such a genuinely lovely guy and knew how to get the squirrel monkeys to stop off by the pool on their daily travels! Before our trip we booked a different hotel nearby for the second half of our holiday, but we wish we’d stayed at Jungle Beach for longer- it’s such a special place!

  Eco Lodge Like Close to Beach

  Stayed in 5 places on our trip in Costa Rica. On par with many of the eco lodges we stayed at but this “hotel” cost us 200% more than other similar places: The good: - walking distance to the beach - very friendly staff in the restaurant - rooms for big families - monkeys to entertain during breakfast The bad: - The price (we booked late admittedly) is not expensive, it is totally disproportionate to quality - Rooms are very very basic, with cracks in the wall. No real showers just the heated shower heads budget lodge version - Smell and noise - smelled of sewage when entering the grounds. Despite small road, a lot of noise traffic Other considerations: - try the Igloo hotel across the road, so much more value - You will need a car (or bus trips) to access most things beyond the one beach so paying for this location is not worth it - At one third of the price, I’d say 4 stars or not review, but current rating is totally inflated probably due to animal sightings.

  Great stay

  Charming hotel Small but nice pool, great decking with bar and restaurant Loved the howler monkeys in the early am Spider monkeys come onto the deck! However we stayed In the house across the hiway: private pool, great access to the beach.. but the main shower is in terrible disrepair.. the flimsy old doors come right off!
