Lovely place, clean and friendly, fantastic breakfast, only slight negative was the bed was so hard (and we like a hard mattress) a topper would fix this.

Location was right on the beachfront. Staff was friendly and let me leave my bags there early and check in early, with very little notice.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Fantastic breakfast. Nice pool. Whilst there saw monkeys, humming birds and a very large rodent type animal, not sure what it was? Excellent value for money

A family-run hotel in the jungle with its own trails, a nice pool, and a delicious breakfast in the morning. The rooms are located in separate cabins apart from each other. walking around was amazing !!! such a beautiful property! There’s a river nearby, about a 15-minute walk away, where you can swim. It’s a very atmospheric and enjoyable place. We loved it!

Sabine

From

Croatia

This place is a true paradise! You’re surrounded by lush jungle, with monkeys playing in the trees, yet you get to enjoy a beautifully designed cabin with all the comforts you need. Even the WiFi was excellent for working remotely. The hosts were incredibly kind and thoughtful, paying attention to every detail and sharing great tips to make our stay even better. Getting there involves an off-road path that can be a bit steep at times, but the hosts' clear instructions made it easy to find this hidden gem. We would absolutely recommend it!

Julia

From

United Kingdom

Amazing place to stay! We had two nights and saw so much wildlife - sitting on our deck overlooking the pond we spent ages watching huge iguanas in the trees, loads of birds and even a Basilisk Lizard running across the water! The safari tents are really comfortable - fab beds, proper hot showers and plenty of space. I had a bit of a concern about the amount of creepy crawlies we might have in/around the tents but the mesh netting kept everything out (we saw plenty of insect life on the trails but nothing in or around the tents!). The big communal deck is also fab - the first night there was a huge storm and we sat having dinner while the thunder and lightning raged around us and bats flew round overhead - a really magical experience. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. The pool and waterslide were a big hit with the kids too!

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.

A beautiful beach, with undertows that make swimming impossible, but a bathing experience is a pleasure. Matapalo offers numerous hotels, all accessible by a paved road and very close to the beach. There are restaurants and bars that make your stay very pleasant.

There isn't much in Matapolo besides endless flat beaches and tranquility. A perfect end to our trip, and on our last day we even saw breaching whales. Of the restaurants, we liked La Esquinita the best.

Matapalo Beach Apartments

Scored out of 10, guest rating 7.7

Good - What previous guests thought, 18 reviews

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.

David and his wife were great hosts for our stay with them. They were both on hand to help with any questions and anything we needed. the hotel is beautiful with large rooms with ac a rarity in Costa Rica, we loved the garden and was like a little garden of Eden where we had breakfast every day. Matapolo is a quiet seaside village away from the hustle and bustle with a beautiful beach which you feel like you have to yourself. We would definitely stay again.
