Great location, just steps away from the beach!

Stayed in August 2025

Only 2 coffee pods supplied on your first day, even if staying longer this is not restocked, also the WiFi was patchy.

The hotel backs right onto the forest which is great for wildlife spotting from the pool. The food was nice at the hotel and staff were really friendly. Having a drying rack in the room was a real bonus for drying wet beach clothes.

The only issue was that the WiFi was intermittent. Usually not an issue, but even the international Sims we had purchased picked up no signal whilst On site.

The property was really well situated. It was an 11 minute walk or 3 minute drive to the the National Park. You could access the beach by literally crossing the road and walking for 2-3 minutes. The onsite restaurant whilst slightly pricier than the local sodas, proved its worth with its high quality meals-especially the meat dishes.

Slightly noisy by the road but such a great position as a result.

The Jungle Beach Hotel is in a fabulous position around 5mins walk to the beach and 15mins to the National Park. The hotel is great with good sized rooms with air con and comfortable beds. We saw several monkeys from our balcony. The pool is a great addition and the kids loved this. The staff were so helpful and kind. Overall a great mid-range place to stay in San Antonio.

The one thing that sticks out to me unfortunately was the natural wildlife of the howler monkeys, no need to set an alarm for anything as usual will be awake most of the night. (for the local ones this is obviously normal.) but as a tourist is like a car alarm going off all night. So if you like to walk around with toothpicks holding your eyelids open, this is the place to stay.

The property had a good location and was quite central to most things in Manuel Antonio, the natural wildlife was quite good as monkeys would come down to the swimming pool. It’s generally quite a quirky place. Good access to the beach. I would say, would be don’t expect five star services. It is very local to the national park about a six or seven minute drive.

There was a lot of road noise in the suite where we stayed, which we recognize could not be helped. The AC in the master bedroom of the suite was not as powerful as we would have liked, but the front room was nice and cool. The pool appeared larger in pictures and the actual size was disappointing for our teenage boys. I also thought that I had made a reservation that included breakfast but was told upon arrival that it wasn't possible through Booking.com. I must have misunderstood.

The room was spacious and very clean. We loved being in the jungle with wildlife all around us! We both heard and saw monkeys on multiple occasions. We also liked the small hotel atmosphere and enjoyed visiting with other guests and the staff in the restaurant/bar area . We loved being able to walk to the beach as well as the national park and many restaurants were a short, easy drive away for dinner. We did eat dinner at the restaurant the first night and really liked our food.

Staff is kind but, compared to many other places in Costarica, here you get the feeling that "you are just another customer". This may likely apply to the entire M. Antonio area that is quite touristy and less welcoming. Food at the restaurant is ok but overpriced. Seeing monkeys is great but the staff feeds them banana for a picture and for the guests, which I did not find respectful to the animals

The hotel is strategically located 10 minutes off Manuel Antonio park entry and 5 minutes from the (beautiful) beach. Everything is well maintained and clean. The restaurant area is cool with swimming pool and many squirrel monkeys paying a visit

Shower slightly cold

Thank you so much to Carlos who was the sweetest behind the bar always happy to help with lots of knowledge and kindness :) The food was lovely and the restaurant area by the pool is really nice to hang around. Would definitely recommend!! (Monkeys everywhere!)

Wifi: the wifi connection was very poor in our room. We got ok but not great wifi on the pool deck. Since we were on vacation, and also got wifi at many of our other stops it wasn't a huge negative for me, but its something they could improve on. Charging for coffee in the room after using 2 pods: This was the only thing that left a little sour taste in my mouth. I get limiting coffee pods and telling guests you a have to ask for more, but it just rubbed me the wrong way to charge for any coffee above 2, especially since we were staying 4 nights.

The location of this hotel is awesome! Walking distance to the beach and the national park (no need to worry about the parking hustles as you approach the park!), but tucked into the jungle. We didn't spend a lot of time on the beach adjacent to the hotel, but we walked down there to enjoy the sunset, and walked back from the national park along the beach, which was lovely. I also just really loved the vibe of the hotel. I quickly realized that the restaurant/bar/swimming deck was my happy place to rest and relax after a morning activity, and just enjoy the jungle setting. And while the pool isn't large, it is clean and very refreshing. We also saw a ton of animals from the hotel itself. On our third morning my son woke me up saying "mom, I see a howler monkey out our window!" Sure enough, there was a howler monkey crossing the road just out the window, followed by a bunch of squirrel monkeys. Our room had a window that overlooked the road, and a ton of monkeys cross the road using power lines and ropes, and we had a great view of all of it. We also saw several howler monkeys in the trees above the pool deck, and saw white faced monkeys come in droves to try to poach some food. We saw toucans, and a deer, and many lizards (and one scorpion) all right from the hotel. The staff were all very friendly, and contributed to the laid back friendly vibe of the hotel. Food was good- service is a bit slow, but if you are vibing and feeling relaxed, not an issue. The rooms were simple but comfortable, and matched the sort of jungle boho vibe of the place. The AC worked well (thank God, b/c it was very humid outdoors, and AC allowed us to get good sleep and our stuff to dry out overnight). The water was not "hot" as some have said, but was plenty warm and I wouldn't have wanted hotter.

The bathroom was very small and the shower either was too hot or too cold.

Close to the beach, breakfast, spacious room.

Good location and friendly staff, and to mention the receptionist can’t remember his name (sorry). When we arrived at the hotel my husband left his phone in the Interbus shuttle and the receptionist called the bus for us. Really appreciate this thank you.

We loved the location of this hotel, as it was a short walk to the beach and also a 15 minute walk to the national park. The setting of the hotel was also great with the jungle behind the property, so we could see monkeys from the pool and bar area. The room was spacious and comfortable.

Breakfast was not included, and everything on the menu was very expensive. We ended up going to other places to eat. The rooms are nice, clean, and the beds are comfy. It's not a fancy place.

Loved the monkeys in the trees and on the rooftops and wires in the mornings, location close to a beach, the resident cats, and the friendly and helpful staff.

Warm water for shower but that didn’t bother me so much because it was humid. So really didn’t need hot water . Wi-fi was spotty but hay we were on vacation, and rain came in every evening but that’s what keeps it so green

Jungle like setting, looks exactly like photos. Quaint, smaller hotel but great vibes. Nice restaurant on property , super friendly employees. We saw howler monkeys, white faced monkeys, toucan, and giant lizards 🦎. Definitely would stay again 🌴

Fabulous location - a 5 minute walk to a beach, 10 minutes to a village and 15 to the National Park. En route to the beach there’s a small supermarket and a great restaurant. I really liked being near the beach and feeling like I was in the jungle when at the hotel. The staff were really friendly and helpful too.

The room wasn't as good as it appeared when booking. Shower didn't have any heat adjustment and was taped up. The toilet didn't work properly. We found it a little tired and in need of some maintenance. If the downstairs fan was on, it was very noisy throughout the night. Probably better to have a kettle rather than a coffee machine as a lot of people dont always want coffee.

Staff were great, happy to assist with activities bookings, taxis, and friendly throughout. Great food Rooms were kept clean and tidy. The property was always being cleaned from leaves, etc

It's a good choice if you just want to go to the national park. It's within walking distance and the room is fairly nice.
