A Jungle Villa, 5-8 BR, full staff, Toucans, Mountains and Emerald Canyon access

10/10 Excellent
"We have stayed at the beach on previous trips to Costa Rica, but we love the mountains even more—especially the cool, refreshing mornings. This beautiful property was the perfect place to experience Costa Rica’s tranquility and natural beauty!Our group had an amazing stay at this stunning villa. The views from the pool area are breathtaking, especially just after sunrise. The property offers wonderful privacy and peaceful surroundings, making it ideal for a large group.A huge thank-you to the wonderful staff, whose thoughtful touches made our stay special. Esteban had coffee ready each morning and prepared delicious breakfasts featuring traditional Costa Rican dishes, including eggs, rice, beans, and plantains. One morning, he even surprised us with freshly baked bagels! Sylvia kept the house spotless and even cleaned my muddy boots after a day of hiking. Their warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail made us feel truly cared for.Birdwatchers in our group were amazed by the variety of birds spotted around the main house. Two nearby waterfalls also make for an enjoyable hike. If you venture all the way down to the river and back, be prepared for a good workout, as the roads and trails are quite steep!Keep in mind: the property is located well down a gravel road from the main highway, as described in the listing, and a four-wheel-drive vehicle is essential. However, the drive is well worth it for the peace, privacy, and incredible natural surroundings."

"What an amazing piece of paradise! The property is stunning and the staff is very friendly and informative. I would say a 4x4 vehicle is required, especially in the rainy season. We saw tons of birds and enjoyed listening to the howler monkeys in the morning from the porch. I would definitely stay again and refer my friends!"

"We stayed for 5 nights at the hotel. The hotel has the most beautiful view of the ocean. The restaurant was great for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The swimming pool was beautiful. We saw all kinds of birds and animals in the ground of the hotel. Highly recommend for anyone staying around the Uvita area with a car."
