Great location and set-up close to the beach. We stayed here with a couple and parents and had an amazing time exploring the area and relaxing at the house, pool and beach. Would highly recommend!

Everything was impeccably clean. The room is spacious and cozy. The bed is a king size and very comfy. The breakfast is served at your door - in previous day you just need to inform your breakfast options and time of delivery. The hotel is a brand new building and everything is carefully run by the owners themselves. Extra tip: In front of the hotel there's a stable with horses available for a ride. We SUPER recommend this ride, as we had a lot of fun. It lasted 2 hours and on top of the ride itself, in nature and at the beach watching the sunset, our guide (Angel) was very friendly. He shared his knowledge about the local flora and spotted animals, such as monkeys and sloths. We even stopped for a coconut water drink, that he opened for us, right from the tree. It is really worth it! Comparable to other rides we've seen in Costa Rica, it was also very affordable.

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 🙏🏼

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.

We stayed here for two nights during our Costa Rica holiday and could happily have stayed longer. The place surpassed our expectations as we had not appreciated from the information that it is a single lodge set within amazing jungled grounds with access to a beautiful swimming pool. We thought it was probably within a complex of lodges so were very pleasantly surprised. The lodge was very comfortable with great kitchen facilities and an amazing open air bathroom which we loved. The balcony overlooking the forest was beautiful and you can see and hear lots of birds and animals. It was a very calm place with easy access beautiful beaches. We did a snorkelling trip to Cano island while there, which was amazing and we had the added bonus of seeing humpback whales on the boat trip there. We also visited Manuel Antonio national park which is nearby and saw many interesting birds and animals. We would definitely recommend this place.

    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.

    The location was ideal, close to the beach, and with a good sized pool. Good cooking facilities, and very comfortable bed. Carlos was extremely helpful and always on hand. Very relaxed atmosphere. The beach at Matapalo is beautiful and mostly deserted, with a couple of good restaurants nearby and a supermarket within 10min walk.
