This is a fabulous place to stay if you are visiting Puerto Viejo de Talamanca or its environs. We had a two-bedroom (sleeps 5 if needed), one bath, fully equipped kitchen, lovely open air "living" and dining space with complete privacy. The price was phenomenal, the staff terrific and our four night stay was perfect. The space was cleaned and fresh towels delivered daily, bed linens changed on alternate days. Go there. You'll be glad you did.

Fantastic property. We saw more wildlife in this property than in Cahuita National Park. Jenny and Emilio are both super warm, hospitable and accommodative.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. 🙂🙂

Jenny was a fantastic host! Woke up to a morning after pouring rain on departure day and she met us at the ATV with towels to dry the seats to help as we were in a rush. The place was beautiful and we will definitely return.

What an amazing experience to live in the garden jungle surrounded by nature and wild animals. We saw and heard so many animals during the day and at night. Super kind owners (also lives on the property) and staff. Free walking around with the gardener in the garden to see lots of animals. Supermarkets and restaurants in Waking distance. Car/bikes required. Very well equipped kitchen, free laundry service and cleaning.
Highly recommended!!!!

Absolutely fantastic place, in the middle of the jungle but close to the shops and the beach. Daily cleaning, fresh towels, very nice staff
We had the house in the jungle that was 100 meters to the beach. We saw a sloth in the front yard and loads of birds and butterflies. Sat in the rocking chairs on the porch for hours just enjoying the beautiful garden. Very comfortable house with everything you need. Emilio was very friendly host.
We booked a 1 room villa but was upgraded to the delux villa due to construction issues. The villas are nice but only offer a fan for cooling. There is netting over the bed if you want to open the windows but that seemed more trouble than it was worth. Over all good stay
The area was fantastic if your are renting a car. Definitely use the bug net. The only complaint I have was that shower faucet had electric shocks when we would shower
We stayed in the small cabin, but as there were two of us it was a great size. The cabin is shady in the afternoon to keep you out of the heat but the downside is the mozzies; the joy of open air living. The local beach is nice and only a five min walk away but there are nicer beaches a short cycle or drive away. The kitchen was great for breakfast but it would be good if they included some basics like cooking oil. Our hosts gave us some great information about snorkling hire and local reefs, refaurants and shady beaches and is generally on hand for any questions.
Nice 2 day stay t the Caribbean coast. A nice wooden finca in the middle of a private jungle-like garden with lots of wildlife.
A nice bungalow with a big open space, two smaller sleeping rooms with small queen size beds, shared bathroom and a self-service kitchen (where we only used the fridge).
We ate out - both days we went to the French baker close to the residence for breakfast.
Be prepared for windows without glass - but you can close the shutters if that gives you some more comfort during the noisy night (thanks to the howler monkeys and other animals)
Plesantly surprised to see that we didn’t meet many mosquitos. It was beginning of rain season when we were there, and were not prepared for the high humidity that made drying (bathing)clothes and towels a difficult process.
All in all - a nice and private stay close to the jungle (I even saw a keelbilled toucan one early morning).
Diese Unterkunft hat bei Weitem alles übertroffen.
Es ist schlicht und einfach perfekt.
Ein großes Danke an die herzlichen Gastgeber und dem lieben Gärtner.

El mejor lugar donde descansar y relajarse. Excelentes habitaciones con cocina, mucha privacidad (lejos de otras habitaciones), excelente atención. Definitivamente un lindo hotel para visitar el Caribe costarricense.

Beautiful private apartment bungalow
We stayed for 7 nights and enjoyed it very much - very relaxing days well spent. It was super comfortable, private, clean and had a beautiful garden right around you. Everyone was helpful and very nice! For us it was perfectly located in Cocles, with a supermarket right at the main street, beaches and activities in walking (or biking) distance.
