Amazing pool and a beautiful garden. Spacious room with comfortable bed, good shower and good working airconditioning. We ordered the breakfast and it was delicious and more than enough (really good gallo pinto). Friendly host and very close to the beach (beachtowels were also available).

The room was very large and clean with great views. The beds were very comfortable. The property was well-maintained and the surroundings were beautiful. It was very quiet and serene. The pool was lovely and very clean. The beach was nearby. It is not good for swimming as the waves are too rough but it's nice to go in and get some salt water and jump the waves. There are many birds in the area. The macaws flew over the property quite often. Carlos was very kind and helpful. There is a little bar where you can get a glass of wine or a bottle of beer but that is the extent of it. The owner has put a lot of his heart and soul into this property and it shows. There are displays where you can learn about his background and there are little model ski gondolas which go up and down and track and are fun to watch. There is beautiful lighting in the gardens at night. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

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.

    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.

    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!

    David is a heartfelt host. Runs a brilliant house, nicest in Matapalo, the village being a calm place. His real tropical garden hosts a brilliant fauna. Room, bed, cleanliness spotless. Beach and shop both 5 mins on foot, Coco is approx the last house behind the oceanfront trees. Great breakfast. Safe parking. Good advices as per excursions.
