Jungle Beach Hotel Manuel Antonio

This hotel was a perfect little retreat in Manuel Antonio. It is not a luxury resort, but it met our needs and exceeded our expectations. Our room was very clean - AC and hot water were working great! We loved seeing monkeys playing in the trees right outside our room. The balcony was a wonderful place to sit and relax. The pool was a delightful way to cool off, and we loved having the bar right there to make drinks and fruit smoothies. We stayed in the Suite which was adequate space for our family of 5. We loved having a kitchen and our own little balcony space. This room is next to the road, so the cars could be a bit loud, but it wasn't a big deal - early each morning we were woken up by tons of monkeys jumping on the roof (part of the experience)! One note for those considering booking the suite - there is only one full bathroom and the other is just a toilet/sink, this was fine but a consideration if you have teenage daughters who take their sweet time getting ready :-) Overall, it was a great little place and we would go back. We loved walking to the beach, local restaurants and Manuel Antonio. We had a car, and the hotel had parking right on site.

Very friendly staff and great food

Lovely!

The room was fine, overall, but the bathroom with the shower did not have a door, so there was no privacy from the family unless you lock them out of the bedroom space, which is ridiculous. Walls were patched, looks like a skylight was covered with metal covering. It was clean, beds were comfortable but the location of the hotel-right off of the main road and old windows means it’s extremely loud. I had to walk around to see if any windows were open (they weren’t). The hotel advertises washer/dryer but that is incorrect. They send out the laundry, which you need to wait a day to get back and is costly. Note that despite it being near the beach, they do not provide beach towels, forcing you to rent a chair or purchase an overpriced, extremely cheap towel from a souvenir shop. I suspect this is standard in the area because I saw many tourists with the same towels. The power went out (I hear its common) and I needed to get something from front desk that was left for me, only to find that the front desk was locked and no one could be found. No one working could help. I was getting picked up to leave for the airport, so I had to leave without retrieving what was left. For those staying, be prepared to climb many stairs, there are no ramps and if you have heavy luggage, you will need to manage that. The pool area is nice but as it’s also where the restaurant is, it’s not relaxing.

Very nice hotel super close to the beach and to the park manuel antonio
