The fantastic location adjacent to the beach meant that we could hear the sound of the waves as we fell asleep and as we awoke in the morning. The sunrise and sunset seen from the beach were very special. We had regular visits from a group of white faced capuchin monkeys, saw red macaws, frequent groups of pelicans flying low to the sea and a resident sloth. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This was a perfect end to 18 days in Costa Rica.

this was the best stay we had during our three week trip around Costa Rica. The secluded location, the amazing wild life right in front of the bungalow, the sunsets in front of our porch, the waves crushing rocking us to sleep. it was perfect and the most amazing end to our beautiful trip. when we come back, this will be the place we will return to straight away 🙏🏼

A family-run hotel in the jungle with its own trails, a nice pool, and a delicious breakfast in the morning. The rooms are located in separate cabins apart from each other. walking around was amazing !!! such a beautiful property! There’s a river nearby, about a 15-minute walk away, where you can swim. It’s a very atmospheric and enjoyable place. We loved it!

This place is a true paradise! You’re surrounded by lush jungle, with monkeys playing in the trees, yet you get to enjoy a beautifully designed cabin with all the comforts you need. Even the WiFi was excellent for working remotely. The hosts were incredibly kind and thoughtful, paying attention to every detail and sharing great tips to make our stay even better. Getting there involves an off-road path that can be a bit steep at times, but the hosts' clear instructions made it easy to find this hidden gem. We would absolutely recommend it!

If you like to have a quiet vacation where you feel one with nature, this place is for you. It’s different from other cities we visited yet offers some of activities other places offer and it’s cheaper here. Food was delicious and cheap. Definitely visiting again.

Beautiful place, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere.

Beautiful place, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere. The epitome of Pura Vida. There are three licensed restaurants worth visiting, Akachete, La Esquinita and Supper Club. All are open for dinner, La Esquinita also breakfast and lunch and Akachete for lunch. There is Matapalo main centre with police, church, school and shops, also more eateries for lunches and snacks. And Playa Matapalo 15 minutes down the road, with one hotel (Coco Beach) and many B&B's, Airbnb and lodges close to the highly rated beach. Matapalo beach apartments (Jungle House) has a pool as well. Walks along the beach can go on the ever and the sunsets are magnificent. You can walk to Dominical along the beach, there are 4 rivers to cross which is very easy at low tide and it takes about 3 or 4 hours. The flora and fauna views are incredible and it's best in the early morning. You can catch the bus or take a taxi back to Matapalo. Also, take a walk to the small waterfall in the hills, it's about 30 minutes from La Esquinita restaurant. And horse riding on the beach in the afternoon.

Great location for exploring the area from Manuel Antonio down to Uvita and up into the mountains. There were a number of small restaurants to eat at even though we only ate at one. The beach was nice and quiet with lots of shade trees.

It’s a great place if you want a quiet peaceful experience, away from crowds and along with the nature. There are plenty physical activities on the beach—walking, biking, horse riding.Strong current and big waves are making it difficult and safe to swim, but you can wade in or drive to safer beaches. This beach provides you with a privacy and lots of room to explore. There is a little restaurant La Kashette a couple minutes from the beach and a small store.

The ‘included breakfast’ didn’t exist. The washing machine didn’t exist. When we queried this after an hour of negotiation between the host via a third party over the phone we were offered the use of the twin tub. We chose not to as by then we were steaming and desperate to explore. There was no hot tub (we weren’t planning to use it but it was on the details). It took us an hour to find the place because although we asked several locals they had never heard if it. Turned out it was called Jungle House not Matapalo beach apartments.

Lovely hotel with beautiful gardens. Host is very helpful - went out of his way to meet our needs during our stay. Very close to a beach which is good for body surfing - but stay in the shallow water due to rip tides, which are common along tne Pacific coast.
