Fantastic property right in the jungle. A group of spider monkeys comes down to the pool / bar area during rhe day and it was so neat to see them up close, the kids loved it. Very relaxing place to be overall and very well run.

This hotel was a perfect little retreat in Manuel Antonio. It is not a luxury resort, but it met our needs and exceeded our expectations. Our room was very clean - AC and hot water were working great! We loved seeing monkeys playing in the trees right outside our room. The balcony was a wonderful place to sit and relax.

The pool was a delightful way to cool off, and we loved having the bar right there to make drinks and fruit smoothies.

We stayed in the Suite which was adequate space for our family of 5. We loved having a kitchen and our own little balcony space. This room is next to the road, so the cars could be a bit loud, but it wasn't a big deal - early each morning we were woken up by tons of monkeys jumping on the roof (part of the experience)! One note for those considering booking the suite - there is only one full bathroom and the other is just a toilet/sink, this was fine but a consideration if you have teenage daughters who take their sweet time getting ready :-)

Overall, it was a great little place and we would go back. We loved walking to the beach, local restaurants and Manuel Antonio. We had a car, and the hotel had parking right on site.

Property was well-maintained and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Pool is small, but nice. Food prices are comparable to the area. Location is very good. Biggest draw back is the hotel does not provide towels for the beach. Also, you have to rent a beach umbrella and chairs each day from locals - however this seemed to be common.

Dear Owner,

I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the way the restaurant, bar, and kitchen operations were being handled during my visit.

It was completely unacceptable to see that these areas appeared to be managed by essentially one person while more than 30 guests arrived for dinner service. An operation like that reflects a troubling lack of empathy, not only toward the customers, who are left waiting and underserved, but even more so toward the employees, who are clearly being overworked and unfairly burdened.

Running service in this manner makes the establishment look cheap and abusive toward its labor force. That is especially disappointing because the place has the potential to be truly great.

I want to be clear about one important point: every employee we encountered was unbelievably helpful, respectful, and highly professional. The problem was not the staff. The problem was that they were visibly overworked, unsupported, and placed in an unfair situation.

I sincerely hope you take this observation seriously and review your staffing and operational practices. Your employees deserve better support, and your customers deserve a level of service consistent with the quality your hotel could offer.

Respectfully a group of 10 people

This hotel exceeded our expectations! The restaurant and pool area was perfect for our family. Our kids could swim while we waited for meals. The food was great and they even had some local IPAs at the bar. The room was clean and had everything we needed: a mini fridge, coffee maker and shampoo! It is about a 4 minute walk to the beach, which allowed us to go back and forth to the room throughout the day so we didn’t have to bring all our belongings with us to the beach. It was nice to be able to walk to the beach as I heard parking can be a pain. The parking at the hotel was easy and on site. The beach was stunning! We had a very good time during our stay.

Amazing location very close to the beach and park! We saw monkeys most mornings at the restaurant by the pool. Beautiful rainforest location. Breakfasts were good. The food was good and everyone was friendly. I would stay here again. I prefer to be near the park in the beach, it did require a taxi or Uber to hit the finer restaurants in town. Everything was clean, the cleaning people were quick and friendly. No complaints.

The room was fine, overall, but the bathroom with the shower did not have a door, so there was no privacy from the family unless you lock them out of the bedroom space, which is ridiculous. Walls were patched, looks like a skylight was covered with metal covering. It was clean, beds were comfortable but the location of the hotel-right off of the main road and old windows means it’s extremely loud. I had to walk around to see if any windows were open (they weren’t). The hotel advertises washer/dryer but that is incorrect. They send out the laundry, which you need to wait a day to get back and is costly. Note that despite it being near the beach, they do not provide beach towels, forcing you to rent a chair or purchase an overpriced, extremely cheap towel from a souvenir shop. I suspect this is standard in the area because I saw many tourists with the same towels. The power went out (I hear its common) and I needed to get something from front desk that was left for me, only to find that the front desk was locked and no one could be found. No one working could help. I was getting picked up to leave for the airport, so I had to leave without retrieving what was left. For those staying, be prepared to climb many stairs, there are no ramps and if you have heavy luggage, you will need to manage that. The pool area is nice but as it’s also where the restaurant is, it’s not relaxing.

Jungle Beach Hotel – Manuel Antonio
Great value and perfect location! The hotel has a restaurant and bar on site, which makes life easy after a beach day. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It’s about a 10-minute walk to Manuel Antonio National Park—honestly easier than trying to drive and deal with the parking circus.

The beach is right across the street, and for $20 you can rent an umbrella and chairs for the whole day. There’s even a beach bar with good food and drinks, so you can park yourself there and call it a day.

Some of our favorite nearby restaurants were Samui Thai, Clara Qui Si, and the little local spot Dónde Alex,
Overall, an awesome place for the price—comfortable, convenient, and full of charm. Would absolutely stay again.

A very suitable place to stay in Manuel Antonio. Convenient beach access and within easy walking distance to good restaurants. We saw several monkeys while around the pool one day. The on-site food is a little pricey, but they open pretty early which was helpful for us one morning. It was nice to be able to organize transport back to San Jose directly with the hotel (pay in cash to save on taxes!).

Walking distance to Manuel Antonio Park. Unfortunately it is very close to the main road - we were woken up every morning at 5 am by traffic noise.

Stay away from room 5 - extremely small for 4 people, it overlooks the road and there is an AC unit right outside the entrance door. It is very noisy, dark and uncomfortable room.

Parking is a bit crowded but we got a good spot and never moved out car.

Overall hotel premises are nice, there is a small pool right by the restaurant area.
Good friendly staff, Leo was fun to talk to. When AC in our room leaked they immediately sent a technician, everything was fixed while we were out.

We'll try a different hotel next time.

Worst hotel I stayed ever in my life. This is super expensive tourist trap. Please stay away from this property. There are lot of better options in this area.

5 mins walk to the beach, decent size rooms, small but clean swimming pool, good drinks and food menu. It's right next to the road, so some people may find it a little loud, but it was good for the cost we paid. One can definitely stay there a couple of nights without much issue. Their front-desk manager, Leo, is a hilarious and very helpful guy. He helped us with our ATV and Park bookings.

The property was convenient to the beach, the staff were very nice and helpful but the condition of the villa is “rustic”. There are no comfortable chairs, you have to sit on twin trundle beds to watch TV, one bed collapsed, no warm or hot water, etc…. Overpriced for what you get.

First off the staff was awesome but that was about the only positive thing about this place.

The monkey suite was not very good or even remotely nice. The road noise was very loud from 6am to 11pm. Beds were very uncomfortable. No one in our family slept. The room had a very weird layout and there was a tripping hazard/step in the middle of the room. The porch area could not be accessed without moving a couch. The beach was not that close. Pool was very small and the food was terrible.

In all our years of traveling this is the first time we have ever just left the place and forfeited our money. We only stayed one night out of four and left to rent a villa which was much nicer.

I did bring to the managements attention but there wasn’t much they were willing to do or that they could do.

For the money do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

Very close to the beach, within walking distance. The rooms are clean & the bed is comfortable. It’s very convenient the location! I booked because it said breakfast was included but it was not. You can find cheaper places or other hotels with breakfast included.

We loved our stay at this property! The staff were all very kind and accommodating. While the rooms weren’t anything special, they were clean and the beds were comfy. We saw sooooooo much wildlife from the hotel, much more than in the park itself. And the beach was an easy three minute walk.

Everything about this hotel is phenomenal. Starts at booking, check in, the staff is Excellent, attentive, friendly. Will is the best , in the restaurant area. He is kind, funny , professional, and an all around asset to the hotel. All of the restaurant staff was amazingly kind
The reception guys were very helpful with information, getting our bags to and from the car, and everyone was in charge of keeping the kittys safe from the monkeys . Had the best time and we will return. Pura vida

True Jungle Hotel

The staff at this hotel were extremely attentive and friendly. They helped us book taxis to a restaurant in town, made sure our tour bus was coming when it was running late, and guided the pizza delivery person to the pool where we were trying to stay cool in the shade! Bar/restaurant service was pretty slow, but we were never in a hurry so didn't bother us too much. Bed mattresses were very firm. Be careful walking around the property though, as the concrete and gravel paths were uneven and we had to watch our step, especially after sunset. Monkeys at breakfast were the highlight and the beach was within walking distance.

Great family suite with monkeys

The updated pool area and restaurant look good. We were in the family suite with 2 grandparents, 2 parents, and 2 kids. The space worked great, the kitchen was useful, and we could sit on the porch watch the monkeys on their ropes course. Our 3 stay here.

Very good location. Was a quick easy walk to the beach and plenty of restaurants options nearby.

The pool was much smaller than the pictures make it appear but did have a nice shallow area for our 14mo old but dropped off to very deep. The shower temperature could not be controlled and was very hot. The restaurant on-site was not great but worked for the night we got in and we’re too exhausted to go out.

The majority of staff were friendly.

The best part was seeing monkeys all around the hotel! We heard the howler monkeys in the early morning hours very clearly.

Overall, nothing fancy but worked out really well for our family. I would stay there again.

The staff were amazing. We found the food really good in the restaurant. Close to the beach and a little town with some bars and restaurants. Monkeys everyday. Nice bar and plunge pool. There are quite a few families. The Karahe bar will let you sit at their tables and chairs on the beach for free. Just be aware that their drinks are a little more expensive, in order to cover this.

Moldy, wet, smelly room number 8

Room 8 was wet and smelly with a moldy wall. No murals in this room and broken bathroom fan. Worst hotel room in memory. The staff was wonderful and tried to clean, but the owner was unreachable and there were no empty rooms to switch to. Love the staff, pool and bar/restaurant. They should not rent room 8 out. Yuk

We arrived at Jungle Beach Hotel on Oct 10th. We were so disappointed with the property. We booked it because it looked charming and the ads mentioned it was only steps from the beach. The room itself was dark, hot and the bed had actual grooves in it from the old mattress. They mentioned that the restaurant on the property was closed for repairs.
The steps to the beach was a total lie. At 70 years old we were forced to walk along a busy highway. We walked to the beach and saw the prettiest beach hotel right on the water. We immediately booked the room for 10 days. We walked back to the Jungle Beach Hotel and checked out half an hour after we checked in. We explained to Esteban that the hotel was not as advertised and told him we were leaving. He said he would refund our money but that didn’t happen.

Great for families!

The Jungle Beach Hotel was perfect for our needs. The location was probably the best aspect of this little hotel. Wake up every morning to the beautiful sounds of jungle wildlife.

We honestly did not expect to see so many monkeys so it was a wonderful surprise to see Howler monkeys and squirrel monkeys in the trees around the property. It was one of the best perks of our entire vacation.

The beach access is so close, 3 minute walk down gravel road and it drops you into one of the best parts of Manuel Antonio Beach.

The room itself was dated, but very clean and comfortable. We didn't spend much time there except to sleep so didn't need much more. The staff was helpful and a great resource for tips on where to eat and what to see.

It was a great value for the price and we would stay here again.

Great location, 2 minute walk to the beach. You'll see monkey's from your room and the outdoor restaurant.
I traveled alone & the staff was great, friendly and made me feel right at home.
The pool is small, but again, 2 minute walk to the beach so that was not an issue for me. First packet of coffee in the room is free but then you do have to pay. They were changing the menu when I was there so that may have changed. I would stay here again.

Our room smelt like sewage. When we brought it to their attention they sent someone in they dumped something down the drain and it smelt fine then 2 hours later it smelt again.. this process was repeated twice. They never offered a room switch or anything. I then went to ask for another coffee pod for the keurig machine in the room and they charged me for it. The location was good, close to everything and the staff at the restaurant were nice.

Absolutely horrible stay with the cleaning staff not cleaning the room after being told so. The showers made so much noise and had so little water. The staff is not trained at all and also I had 4 drinks free which I didn’t get with the Expedia gold status. I had to ask and the bartender Katherine was so rude. It was one of my worst hotel experiences of my life for 200 USD a night. It’s not worth it at all.

First of all it’s a great bang for the buck. The staff is extremely helpful. It was close to the beach and restaurants, there was hot water, great a/c, a bar and restaurant and it’s surrounded by rain forests with the sounds of nature through out the night. Not the most comfortable beds but again it’s not an expensive place. I’d recommend staying here. Also the bus stop is right outside so for 75 cents you can go up the hill to tons of restaurants.
