Loved this place. Huge area with lots of friendly staff. We stayed in a Casita which was cool clean and large enough for a family of 4 but we were a couple. The gym and shared kitchen is so useful in nosara as it's expensive to eat out

Great facility, close to everything in Nosara/Garza. Comfortable and spacious with great AC in the Casitas. Yoga deck was great up many steps with an amazing view right next to the pool. Mat room and gym facilities looked fantastic and a shared kitchen area would be very convenient. Great place for Nomad workers with strong WiFi, and peace & quiet.

No personal service at check in. Nothing is happening there Looks and feels like an unused resort, Run down in many areas Broken items outside, dirty linens on seat coverings. Thankfully just one night!

I'm a woman who travels alone and does not drive. Nosara can be tricky without a car, but everyone at Jungle's Edge made this an amazing stay for me. They're willing to held with transport, deliveries, withdrawing cash, and so much more. I don't do martial arts but I used the space to stretch and do some yoga. This is a fantastic place and maybe I'll take some muay thai classes next time! Space to cook, comfortable temperature even without AC, howler monkeys hanging around in the morning :)

Comfy bed and blanket with lots of pillows, mini kitchen in glamping hut was handy, pool was amazing but a very steep hike to get to. Communal kitchen was great and laundry service was nice. David was super helpful and good to communicate. Clean bathing and drinking water…but It’s in the jungle, the wind makes a mess and I didn’t love the open bathroom because of bugs. I also didn’t know there was no hot water. The fans worked well to keep cool

Loved my stay here! The staff were super friendly and always happy to help with tour ideas and tips for things to do. We had a flat tire and the owner was very helpful with letting us use a phone and making sure we were taken care of, it was really appreciated! The pool was amazing with the best views—definitely a spot I could hang out all day. My room was cozy and really comfortable. The area was very quiet which made relaxing and sleeping easy! Overall just a great vibe and experience—would definitely stay again!

If you’re looking for a fancy Costa Rica experience , this is not your place in Nosara. If you’re looking for a real old school Costa Rica experience this place provides what you need . David the owner and his crew are loving and make you feel very welcome, He suggested my 12 year old son take a Jui Jitsu class, which he loved, and offered many suggestions for activities, tours and even made a call for us. The food is good, even though we only ate pizza and pancakes for breakfast. The.pool up at the classically designed main villa is lovely for a morning and afternoon swim but be prepared to climb a steep stair case. I liked it because it was part of my exercise routine. The main lounge and restaurant area are very comfortable, always playing great DJ music which gives it a dance festival vibe. The scene is very international, hip and all the travelers we met were very interesting and kind. We loved playing on the jungle pool table. My biggest criticism is the grounds could be better leading up to the main house and in front of the studio could’ be better kept up. The communal kitchen needs to be upgraded and the trash area was messy when we arrived and it took a few days for it to be cleaned. . There was also an ugly structure outside Casita 1 that should be replaced with a garden. I wish they had provided shampoo and cream inside the rooms which are lovely. All is all it was a great time and we felt very safe and taken care of. I would recommend a car or renting an ATV.

David the owner greeted me kindly. I showed up early and he kindly let me store my bags in a safe place while I went surfing and waited until it was time to check in. He is a very fun, laid back guy that made me feel right at home. I really appreciated the fact that my room had a good working AC unit and a comforter on the bed. Most places I’ve stayed in Costa Rica only supply a thin bed sheet. The room was clean and cozy. I slept great! The next person I met was Brian the pizza chef. He gave me a fist bump and had a big smile. I really liked talking to him. His Pizza skills are excellent. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. And finally the other person I really appreciated while staying there was the other David. Not sure of his exact job title but he seemed to do a little bit of everything. He made me several great cups of coffee, he took my food orders, he called me a shuttle to Tamarindo when I was leaving. He was a solid dude and I could tell he had a strong work ethic and cared about the guests experience. I will definitely be staying there again next time I’m in Nosara.

This was a great place for a low-key stay in Nosara, a 20-minute walk to Guiones Beach. The staff were outstanding - always friendly and welcoming. The dining area is lively and yes the artisanal pizza is fantastic (Brazilian=yum).

The resort is in a perfect location outside of Nosara with enough isolation and green space to give us the Pura Vida vibe we love. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. The surf lesson we aranged through the resort was excellent and they also offer Mui Thai and Jujitsu Lessons in a very well maintained practice space. Good pizza and western breakfast with even better typical food. The owner is very kind and easy to talk to with excellent advice and he has surrounded himself with very talented instructors and staff. We are definatley interested in coming back.

For the price and description of the property on Expedia. this property was incredibly disappointing. My partner and I are seasoned travelers and have stayed in questionable places but we thought this one would be great because of the rating and price. However, we did not get what we paid for. I would suggest spending a little more money and staying somewhere else.

I absolutely loved my stay here. Honestly, I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Nosara now. Because it doesn't feel like a \"hotel.\" The place is super cool. Has a definite Surf vibe, and a sort or rustic-chic vibe as well. In the middle of the jungle but I have nice sheets and these pretty lights in my room so I don't always have harsh overhead. They have an espresso machine the size of a Volkswagen. Morning Coffee was divine. Gluten free options (again, surprising and thoughtful) the smoothies were innovative and delicious. The pizzas were from a wood fired oven. The menu was very good. I was pleased to have such offering right there. It felt like a lot of attention to detail and special little touches. I like rustic and adventurous but I also like comfort and amenities. PS The room actually looked like the photos.

My room was super clean and comfortable, and very cute. They have an a/c and a ceiling fan so I could always control my temperature and comfort. The staff was absolutely wonderful. Jesus took care of my every need and he did so with a smile and genuine warmth. The owner is on the property as well. He was so nice, and obviously cares a lot and is always making sure everything runs smoothly and everyone's needs are met. I felt safe, taken care of, appreciated and like I made new friends and would be welcomed back. Huge value for the money.

The glamping cabin we booked was not available when we arrived so the manager set us up in a very nice apartment at no extra charge which was definitely an upgrade from the cabin. He also allowed us extra time for check out and offered to keep watch on our bags so we could go to the beach before our taxi arrived.

Highly disappointing

There is lots to say about Jungles Edge. Mostly negative. I stayed in the Jungle cabins, which is basically a glorified tent with beds.
There was 2 fans in the cabin and only 1 worked.
The pictures on Hotels.com are extremely outdated, the facility is extremely run down and need lots of work. There was no lock on my cabin, the fridge hadn’t been cleaned forever if ever, and very minimal dishes/cutlery.
The daily “cleaning” involved emptying out the trash bucket and little else.
There is no hot water in the cabins, nor AC.
I had both a gecko and gigantic grasshopper that made their way into my room and I had to eliminate. Those were not nearly as bad as the ants that were everywhere and got in everything. They said that is because of the dry season.
There is also no beach shuttle per the listing, you can get a tuk tuk but there is a fee each way $7 US. I did walk once but it is not only dusty but very unsafe, there are no sidewalks or even room on the road for pedestrians.
There is also no gym or fitness facility, again stated in the listing that there is.

On the positive side the food is very good. The smoothies and pizzas were very delicious and freshly made.

As the staff is either local and speak no English or temporary drifters working for board there is little help available. The owner seemed somewhat knowledgeable when around.

I know this place is cheap, but for the additional cost of tuk tuk I would stay closer to the beach

Where do I start. The word Bungalows is used very very light here. The \"bungalows\" are simple a metal frame with some sort of plastic screen wrap around them. 0 privacy and 0 security. Very disappointing experience. I believe that for the price you can find a much better place to stay near the beach. I made the mistake of buying breakfast there. Not only it took over 30 minutes to get a food there but it cost nearly 3 times more there that it would cost in a nearby restaurant. Also, be prepared to be charged an extra 23% more of anything in their menu for some time of fees. When I asked about these fees and the misleading \"room\" photos on expedia , the staff because very defensive and unfriendly. I would not recommended this place at all.Save your cash and spend it some where else.

I loved the setting. Right in the jungle with the full howler monkeys going crazy. I was in a cabina with its own amenities as well as fridge, coffee maker & knife, plates. Like being @ a health spa. Yoga, jijutsu & kickboxing everyday. Salt water pool up top with the villa, amazing view. A yoga retreat was happening the day that I left. From Great British.Surf boards available. Dave the owner is very knowledgeable & most of all fantastic, friendly staff. I’m going back along with my kids. Much as gracias Jungle Edge

You’re right in the jungle which is so beautiful, but because my little casita has screen walls it was very windy and very loud with all sorts of human and animal sounds. I had a horrible sleep as a result, but I do think a few nights stay would allow some adjustment. I don’t recommend stopping by for 1 night like I did.

What an experience! Such great hospitality. The staff and owners themselves constantly went the extra mile for us. They even helped us confirm reservations for other activities in the area. They were a tremendous help. With the street sign on the main road, it was really easy to spot. As we walked up, they were working on renovations, so cool thinks in the works. They did have a communal garden with things like cilantro, chives, kale, limes, bananas, and oranges growing on the property for use. They also have a communal kitchen if you don't want to eat at the restaurant. Our last night there, the restaurant was finished with its part of the renovations, so we decided to eat there. All I can say is wow! Their chef can COOK! My friend actually stopped mid conversation just to make the comment of how good the food was. It was honestly the best food I had on the trip. The distance to the beach isn't that bad either. It's only like a 10 min walk. There's a path through the woods that shortens the walk quite a bit too. But it's a fun little walk. We weren't really in the room that much, but it was clean and comfortable, which is all I could ask. They do have privacy curtains, fans, hotplates, dishes, a folding table, and a mini fridge in the room. The bathroom was cool with the frosted roof. It let alot of natural light in. We went during the off season, but overall, my experiance here was fantastic and I would highly recomend this place to anyone who's up for an adventure.
