Lettika and the super friendly team helped us with our tour reservations. The property is very comfortable, and those gardens are wonderful. The last day of our stay was filled with monkeys. Highly recommended.

MATAPALO is an absolutely wonderful place to stay, with a friendly Dutch owner. The entire space is tastefully decorated and clean. In front of my room, I could relax in a hammock or by the pool, where I not only got a free towel but could also make coffee or tea for free at the nearby bar. The property is surrounded by beautiful trees and shrubs that create a cozy atmosphere—and if it weren't for the amazing beaches, I could have easily spent the whole day there. One morning, while enjoying a great breakfast (you can choose from three types), I saw a sloth with her baby settle into a nearby tree, which just proves how peaceful and tranquil this place is. I highly recommend it.

We loved every part of it!

We love the Jardin de Los Monos. It was quaint, tastefully decorated, and very private. The breakfast was incredible and we could hear the beach from our porch. We will for sure return!

We loved this place! We came for a relaxing break and it was perfect. We were greeted by Teddy at the gate in the pouring rain and he handed us umbrellas. Breakfasts are fabulous. You can spend time lounging by the pool or in the hammock outside your room. You can walk to the beach which is super close and wander along the shore for ages. And it’s peaceful- except when the monkeys come to visit and bounce around on the roof ( but this is a high light). Teddy made reservations for us and helped us with some bookings and Letikka ( our host) provided us with lots of helpful information. We would definitely recommend!

The name of this lodge its really how it is: a wonderful garden where we could watch whiteface monkeys and even a sloth directly in front of our room. You can relax on sun loungers at the swimming pool or go to the beach which is just a short walk away. The host Lettika and her staff are very friendly. For breakfast there are different options and all of them were delicious.

An amazing place to stay with wildlife present in the actual garden! Sloths, monkeys, hummingbirds, lizards, etc. The staff (Teddy and Dama) are fantastic. Teddy is very informative about the animals and locality. Dama makes the best pineapple smoothies. Letika is very welcoming and helped us book the local supper club. Our room was a good size with air-conditioning and was exceptionally clean. The beach was 2 mins walk with beautiful sunsets with crabs, pelicans, etc. The sea was rough, but we were able to get in. More suitable for surfing. We would highly recommend it.

Liked everything

Room was spacious and clean, lovely small pool with tea and coffee facilities. Playa Matapalo is 500m away and you can walk along it for miles watching Pelicans fly by and Scarlett Macaws. We saw sloths and monkeys at the property. Lettika is a lovely helpful host we had a fantastic stay.

The range of options for meals lunchtime or evening was a bit limited.

Everything. Delightful stay, the visiting monkeys and kinkajous a lovely bonus

Not so much that we didn’t like this but we just felt there were a lot of signs and posters around the property and room, related to rules and regulations. We felt it was a bit over the top for an adults only property with an older demographic, where the majority of people are going to do the right thing.

Beautiful, clean property. Great location across from the beach. Excellent facilities including pool. Every little thing has been thought of. Nice to see monkeys and sloths close by.

Super friendly owners and employees (thanks a lot to Teddy!). We felt almost like in the rainforest with plenty of animals (like Sloths) around us. Beautiful beach within 2 minutes walk. Cozy and clean pool. Good restaurants within 5 to 10 minutes drive (a car is required in this area).

Absolutely amazing stay! We were here 3 nights but I could have stayed longer. There are so many activities within a 45 minute ride from here that we barely got to enjoy the pool, the peaceful garden and sitting area or the breathtaking beach where it’s just you and the birds. Breakfast was delish! Teddy was super helpful. Lettika helped us with scheduling our excursions. The rooms are very comfortable, including spa like bathrooms. Top notch! We went rafting and zip lining, visited Manuel Antonio park and playa and Ballena national park. All worth the time and colones.

We stayed at this beautiful small hotel after travelling through Costa Rica for a week. This was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach. The host is lovely and we saw sloths, monkeys, and birds in the back yard. The breakfast was made with love. You will need a car to get around but a few restaurants are close by. We would definately come back!

N/A - I have no complaints

During our stay in Costa Rica, we spent nights at 6 different hotels and this one was easily the best. This place is like a nice little haven in a peaceful town close to Quepos and Manuel Antonio. The facilities were fantastic and I could go on and on about how comfortable the beds were. We got to see many sloths in the area and the beach is stunning and peaceful - a very short walk from the hotel. Also the breakfast was like going to a restaurant - SO good!! Just as the website says, I only wish we had planned to stay here longer. I also honestly couldn’t believe this place was so reasonably priced for what you’re getting.
