"Fantasztikus családi vállalkozás! A hely egyszerűen hihetetlen. Távol a világ zajától az esőerdő mélyén. A háziasszony finom ételeket készít! Ő a lelke az egésznek. Mindenki felkészült a természet kincseiből, amiből van itt bőven! A túránk során , amit a férje vezetett, láttunk és fényképeztünk Tukánt, Spider monkeyt, és még egy másik fajtát is, és sok sok madarat. Éjszaka pedig békát és kígyót is! A fiaik nagyon nagyon lelkes természetbarátok. Életreszóló élmény volt az itt eltöltött pár nap!...

"We both share part of miscommunication at check in, since we arrived at night and they don't have frint desk at this hour. And we didn't tell them about our arrival. But everybody just move so quickly to fix everything for us even the owner phone us from out of the country to ensure everything was ok. Road was not good, but driving was ok, hour and a half from Puerto Jimenez. Rooms are big. Rest rooms are in the room, but kind of out in the open. NO AC. But fans, electricity is by solar panels,...

Top Playa Matapalo Hotel Reviews

Botanika Osa Peninsula Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Very good idea to have the right vacations"

Eco Jungle Cabin in Cabo Matapalo – Near Corcovado, Surf, Wildlife, & Sleeps 6

10/10 Excellent

"The house is immaculate and well equipped and we have no complaints at all. Rodrigo was so helpful and nice and he takes incredible care of the whole place. It was beautiful to be in the jungle but still hear the crashing waves at matapalo right out the door. "

Lapa Rios Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"If you want to be right in the middle of nature and wildlife this is the place to go. Most of the resort is raised up into the treetops so you can be eye level with creatures you'd usually only see way above you from the ground. The included hikes and birdwatching were wonderful with very knowledgeable and passionate guides. We also arranged a day trip to Corcovado by boat through the lodge in advance, seems pricey at first but was well worth it. Over the course of a week we saw sloths (lodge & Corcovado), monkeys (everywhere), tapirs (Corcovado), ant eaters (lodge and Corcovado), coatis (lodge), frogs and lizards (lodge) and so many different birds (everywhere). We chose a forest bungalow room which is just screened in from the outside. I was a bit worried the lack of AC might make it too hot to sleep, but at the end of April the fans in the room were enough to keep us comfortable over night. No need for alarm clocks, the howler monkeys will get you up every day. Overall a fantastic nature focused lodge that combines the ability to relax with adventure."

Waterfront home w/ a full kitchen & shared pool - walk to beach

8/10 Good

"Overall, the home was as described in many ways and we had a memorable stay. A key tip for future guests—follow the guidance about locking up food. While we were home, wildlife visited, including two capuchin monkeys who came right up and observed us before eventually returning to the jungle. It was a unique experience.The beach in front of the home had large swells during our stay, which made for very peaceful nights. People do occasionally park along the road to take in the view, which we didn’t mind—the scenery is beautiful and worth seeing.The caretaker was excellent—very kind, brought us fresh fruit, and shared photos of local wildlife like a tapir and puma.Our main concern was the pool. The listing advertised a private pool within the lanai, but we were told upon arrival it was shared. The lanai is quite small, with only a few chairs, and the pool is more of a shallow dipping pool (only about calf height), making it unrealistic to share between multiple homes. I contacted management and requested the listing be updated to reflect a “shared pool area.”Additionally, there are walkways from homes behind the property that pass underneath the house near the twin bedroom, which affected the sense of privacy.Beautiful location overall, but clearer communication about shared spaces is needed."

Secluded Treetop Home w/solar panels, Private Balcony, steps from the beach

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful experience . Beautiful tree home and gardens. Joel made us feel very welcome and checked on us daily to answer any questions. Definitely remote and need a 4x4 vehicle. Would go back again. Pura vida"

Romantic, treetop getaway w/ hammocks, jungle, & beach views

10/10 Excellent

"There are not enough positive words we can say about this place. It was truly an astonishing, incredible and unforgettable experience. We intended to go on a guided tour into the national park via the sirena ranger station before we arrived, but there was no need as all the wildlife you could ever hope for was right there on your doorstep. We saw 3 out of the 4 species of monkey native to Costa Rica including the Capuchin, Howler and spider monkey, we saw pelicans flying along the beach, Macaw Parrots, Pigs, Coati, Agouti and numerous birds and insects. Joel the host and owner is amazing, he couldn't help us enough and even treated us to a personal guided walk through the rainforest in a secret location very close by. We never return to the same location as there is alot of the world we have on our travel list, but this is the first time that we are considering going back. If you like being as close to nature as possible while having your creature comforts this is the place for you. There are no walls to the treehouse which means you are always at one with nature, it is truly magical. A wonderful place to stay for my 40th birthday. A word of warning, you must hire a 4x4 vehicle with a good amount of clearance. Our vehicle was a Mitsubishi ASX which was JUST high enough. It was good fun getting there but would of been even more enjoyable if we got a better off roader. Stock up at supermarket at Puerto Jimenez and fuel up before you leave. Thank you again Joel.
