Hacienda Mil Bellezas - Private 40ha Jungle Reserve

This place was truly incredible and exactly what we were looking for. There is a private waterfall and swimming area that you HAVE to take advantage of. In addition to the scenic beauty of the entire property they had a very friendly chocolate lab named Elly who came to our villa every day and sat with us for hours. Our host Markus was wonderful and responsive. We had no problem with the WIFI and streamed Netflix in the evenings before bed. If I could have changed anything in all honestly, I would have liked for there to be an air conditioner in the villa. When we were there, it was in the mid 90's every day and after hiking and excursions it would have been nice to cool the room for relief. With that said I would absolutely stay there again!!!!!

Markus is the best. He truly does everything to make the stay exactly what we wanted. The horse back riding was a wonderful treat, even for our kids that have never been on a horse before. The pool area is so beautiful only to be outdone by the natural pools out at the end of the hiking trails on this magical property. I would highly recommend this property to anyone that loves nature and wants to see the best of Costa Rica. Thank you Markus!

Only thing missing was a more comfortable chair for the porch. Nights cooled down and the house had great air flow. Easy to get to beach and Manuel Antonio. Best of all were the local waterfalls and natural pools that Ellie the farm dog was more than happy to escort you to.

Beautiful, everything was great and everyone so very nice. The food was amazing and property is beautiful. The location is kind of hard to find and impossible at night, so if you leave be sure to try and get back before nightfall. This property has everything to offer. When it comes to exploration, beautiful, walking paths, we saw so many monkeys, beautiful, waterfalls, and pond to swim in. The horseback riding was lots of fun. There’s plenty to do on the property without even having to leave it. The lodge we stayed in was nice, but it’s very hot and it would have been nice to have a floor fan in both rooms at night. The only thing that I had a hard time with were the sugar ants. They were everywhere in every room not even around food/drinks. It made it hard to sleep. I 100% know this is part of the jungle sene and have NO problems with it, but if you’re looking for something bug free this isn’t your place.

Good for short stay especially if you want to ride. Accommodations are nice but more like hotel. Pool nice. Jungle Falls trail good for hiking.
