The house is clean, beautifully decorated, well equipped , located near the beach and easy walking distance to everything you need. We visited Jaguar rescue (5-10 minutes drive) and loved the tour Very Much! It’s one of must to visit in the area but make sure to book ahead

Set in Puerto Viejo on the Costa Rica's Caribbean side, Hidden Jungle Beach House provides a natural jungle landscape. Free WiFi. Free private parking is available on site.

All units at the boast a garden view.

This is the place for you if you want to be near the amazing town, 4 mins walk, but somehow in the cutest little place with a sloth outside the bedroom and lovely owner and pets. Not for you if you are a partier, allergic to dogs cats or Chooks or too tall. It’s a quaint little dreamboat of a house with murals all over the wall and the NICEST guests always up for a little chat. Host is super welcoming and warm. Well equipped kitchen, cute facilities. Bikes for hire. Lots of space to hang your towels etc. although they probably won’t dry due to humidity. We loved our stay here. It’s about the nicest, homiest, loveliest that ‘basic’ accommodation can be! Thank you.

    Within 10 minutes of arriving we had spotted 2 sloths in the trees next to the track, and while we were out our neighbours spotted a sloth walking right across our doorstep! The room was lovely and comfortable and felt like it was right in the jungle as you can hear and see lots of wildlife! Black sand beach is beautiful just a few minutes walk away. Priscilla was a great host 😊

    It was close to the beach but like you were in the middle of the jungle! Lots of wildlife to see and hear in the gardens. Sonya and her husband were lovely hosts and breakfast in the mornings was great, I even bought some coffee to bring back home!

    There are several things that differentiate this place: a love for details (hangers to dry your clothes, a small bowl for keys or jewelry in the room...), striving to enhance guest comfort (good beds as well). And, of course, lovely hosts that will focus on making the most of your stay while also giving you space. Highly recommended!

    This is a gem indeed if you are in Manzanillo - Cahuita. Off 2kms from the coastal road, but no uphill , doable w/normal car. Breakfast tableware, service, food 1st class like Hilton or even better. We took the Belvedere house, has a terrace, w kitchen and tea/coffee amenites. Host family provides service above expectations. Small pool. Tour reservations. Charming landladies. 7 hectares hilside garden with fauna. Absolutely recommended.

    We had an exceptionally good stay in Villas Pina. All the comfort and still so close to nature. Even 3 sloths and a Kinkajoo family live in the trees. Eric is such a great host. He not only takes care of everything but also helps spotting birds, frogs, sloths and many more.

    Jose is a great host and helped us with information, a taxi, recommendations for a fantastic restaurant for my birthday dinner, etc. The room was lovely and clean, comfortable bed, good shower, great breakfast on the porch looking out at the garden. We like dogs and their shih Tzu, Quirrino is sweet. On the edge of town so nice and quiet considering we stayed during Easter and town was manic.
