Ankommen und sich wohl fühlen.Wunderschöne Unterkunft mitten im Dschungel .Man könnte zu Fuß an den Strand.Kinga und Lazlo waren perfekte Gastgeber,vielen Dank für alles.

Wir haben wunderbare 3 Nächte in der Casa Lina Lodge verbracht. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundliche, sympatische und hilfbereite Ungaren. Wir wurden rund im die Uhr in dieser fantastischen Unterkunft mitten im Jungel betreut. Von der Terasse aus hat man einen atemberaubenden Blick ins Grüne. Wir konnten Agoutis, Kolobris und Iguanas sehen. Es ist scheinbar auch ein Faultietpärchen in der Nähe. Wir wurden morgens von Brüllaffen geweckt und haben diese auf dem Weg zur Playa Cocles auch gesehen. Für einen Ausflug nach Puerto Viejo empfiehlt aich ein eigenes Auto oder ein Taxi (Laszlo organisiert gerne Taxis oder auch Pizza-Service für seine Gäste. Alles in allem eine super Erfahrung! Danke an die beiden Gastgeber!!

Diese Unterkunft ist ein Traum! Wir hatten drei wundervolle Nächte in der super schönen kleinen Casa und wären gerne länger geblieben... Alles super schön und süß eingerichtet und die Veranda übertrifft alles! Haben diese Kulisse im Dschungel jeden Abend aufs neue genossen. Um nach Puerto Viejo zu kommen, benötigt man schon ein Fahrrad oder Auto, hat uns aber nicht gestört! Wir haben die Ruhe mit Affen, Tukanen und Kolibris vor der Tür genossen... Wir haben uns einmal ausgesperrt, Kinga hat aber innerhalb von 10 Minuten reagiert und alles lief super! Immer wieder gerne :-)

Sehr schöne, ruhige und vom Ort leicht abgelegene Unterkunft. Super zum Entspannen in der Hängematte direkt im Wald, trotzdem ist es nicht weit zum Strand, Restaurants, ... Nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber.

Das Apartment ist wirklich traumhaft mitten im Wald gelegen und dadurch wirklich sehr ruhig. Zum Strand mussten wir etwas laufen, ein super Markt war dafür in direkter Umgebung. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich genauso wie alle anderen Menschen dort! Aber passt auf eure Sachen am Strand auf - es passiert schneller als man denkt dass etwas weg kommt.. Eine wunderschöne gegend mit tollen Stränden zu entdecken. Ebenfalls empfehlenswert ist das Jaguar Rescue Center.

Exactly as described. Such a cool little spot tucked into the jungle. We loved lounging in the hammock and I think we both ended up napping in it a couple times. Laslo and Kinga were incredibly kind. They saw us walking up the street one night and drove us the rest of the way back. Laslo brought us delicious fresh pineapple juice one more. Can't recommend them enough!

This place is amazing, near Puerto Viejo but in the calme of the jungle... surrounded by nature and wildlife. It's very clean, there is everything you need. Kinga and her husband are very nice and their tips about activities and restaurants are perfect. I recommend!

What an amazing jungle retreat in beautiful Puerto Viejo! I enjoyed falling asleep to rain on the roof and waking up to the sounds of the jungle. Kinga's place is close to the beaches, shops, and restaurants of Puerto Viejo. But it's far enough away that you can relax on the hammock and enjoy the natural view on the porch. It is close to the local beaches. I loved being close enough to walk or drive. I enjoyed the cacao farm tour, tasting, and drinking chocolate at the near by CariBeans Cafe. There are a schedule of fun daily events, like morning yoga. Make sure to see the Jaguar Rescue Center as well. I can't wait to come back to Costa Rica. I had a truly amazing time. Pura Vida!

Riesige traumhafte Terrasse halb hoch im Dschungel. Ein großes Bett mit Fliegenschutz und Ventilator, so dass man ungestört von den Moskitos wunderbar schlafen kann. Das Wasser zum Duschen ist leider sehr kalt. Zweckmäßig rustikale Einrichtung. Sanitärbreich und Terrasse Sauberkeit gut , in der Küche und bei Kleinigkeiten wie Lichtschalter oder Geschirr kleine Mängel. Aber trotzdem sehr empfehlenswert.

Beautiful space immersed in jungle but a short walk to the water.

Great place for a quiet stay in a real tropical jungle setting, where any human improvement has been achieved with real sensitivity to nature and the surrounding animal life. The beach is very near, but has rocks and is not a recommended spot for swimming. Other possibilities are at walking distance, or preferably by bike. The big beaches have warnings of rips so watch for the flag system. Bikes are really a good idea here, and rentals are available everywhere. There are local buses, occasionally, and local taxis as well. Local people are very open and friendly in a laid back Caribbean way, and the food and fresh fruit stalls are great. Manu is a delightfully friendly and easy-going host who is always helpful when we wanted to go somewhere, or see sloths at all hours, or had any question. Things we will remember most are the open air living on the veranda, the sounds of the forest, the bird life, the occasional glimpse of sloths and the distant roar of monkeys, the sound of rain on the roof at night sometimes in March, and the restful atmosphere. The Jaguar Rescue Centre is in walking distance - terrific place to see sloths, monkeys and many other creatures.

Casa Manu Ciao was a perfect retreat for my stay. I really enjoyed having a kitchen for myself, and all the fixtures in the Jungle Loft are modern. It was really nice. Being so close to town was awesome, and Manu was very kind about my fears about traveling alone. I felt very safe there. The jungle is beautiful, the beach is right across the main road, and there are so many restaurants nearby, it is the perfect location. I am so grateful to have had this beautiful place to stay with kind people during my stay in the Puerto Viejo area!!!

The place was great. The patio really made the place. I can't wait to come back with friends once the second floor is finished. Manu was a great host as well.

Très bon séjour de 5 nuits passé chez Manu. A 300m de la plage son appartement est aussi très bien situé pour sortir boire un verre ou dîner sur Puerto viejo. Sa superbe terrasse est très reposante et entourée par la végétation tropicale , sa chambre avec son très grand lit avec mousticaire et son immense salle de bain à l'italienne sont de vrai plus. Manu qui habite sur les lieux est très accueillant et serviable et sait rester discret , de plus il parle parfaitement le francais

Manu was great! He lives below the jungle loft and met us there. His instructions to find the loft were good but it took us 15 minutes of wandering because it was dark when we arrived. The space was as described and beautiful, we saw monkeys and hummingbirds from the loft daily. The town was amazing and plays cocles was perfect, walkable to town but remote and near the beach. We loved staying here and would absolutely come again. The house had everything we needed and manu made himself available in case we needed anything additional. My only complaints were the lack of hot water in the shower (but for the most part it felt great on our sunburns lol) and that sometimes people smoked cigarettes directly below the open air loft and there was a strong cigarette smell in the loft. I loved this loft, it was beautiful and the perfect way to connect with nature in this gorgeous area.

Manu was not able to meet us the first day, but he made sure his volunteers helped us get settled. The location was perfect and in the middle of all the beaches and places we wanted to visit.

Don't let the lack of reviews on here discourage you. This place is amazing! The property is beautiful! Close enough to everything you want but tucked away enough for privacy. Tom and Zoe were extremely helpful and knowledgeable of the area. They had prepared a binder with ideas and directions and a phone preloaded with numbers. Staying here made for a really easy laid back vacation. I would recommend having an suv to get around the gravel roads. My girlfriend and I wished we had more time to spend at the property. The day we were leaving monkeys came to the tree right outside our house. The house is open to nature but surprisingly secure and comfortable. The design is great and tall ceilings allow for the perfect breeze when you need it. Toucans will eat your bananas. The beaches and wildlife were really something else. I would definitely stay here again.

Tom and Zoe are exceptional people! They immediately made us feel at home. Tom even helped me with my car issues. Our stay was better than expected. We are both looking forward to our return :)

JUNGLE PARADISE! Zoe & Tom are excellent hosts - they are on hand for anything you need. The location is ideal if you are looking for a mini jungle adventure! Not too far from the beach and other local amenities! Watching monkeys swinging through the trees whilst eating our breakfast is something we will never forget!!

Zoe & Tom's place is amazing and beautiful - there could be no better place to stay while visiting the Puerto Viejo area. Everything was lovely from head to toe. I will definitely, stay there again!! Thank you Zoe for such a wonderful time, it was great to meet you !

This place is incredible! It's everything you'd expect and more. First off, Tom and Zoe are wonderful hosts. They really take into consideration your needs as a traveler and provide you with a sense of security that helps you let your guard down immediately. Tom is one of the coolest hosts you'll meet, incredibly calm and responsive. Most things I feel, must roll right off his back. But he was there in case we needed anything and was always just a call away (from the local cell phone they provided us!). We also enjoyed all the small thoughtful touches that were unnecessary, but made us feel like friends had received us into this jungle paradise. We arrived to a platter of fresh fruit and champagne, such a great treat after a long trip. Also, the place itself is spectacular, the jungle is literally at your doorstep and we saw a friendly sloth make it down a tree while we sat and ate on our porch. It's truly an amazing experience. I highly recommend staying here, it was life changing for us and I can't wait to go back and experience what the locals love to call, "pura vida", pure life.

The house is awesome! A nice quiet place - outdoor living room and kitchen, in the middle of the rainforest but only a 5-10 min drive to very nice beaches. It was just perfect!

Un lugar perfecto para desconectarse del mundo!!!

Everything was perfect, we had an amazing weekend! 100% recomended!

Ein Traum mitten im Dschungel. Kann es jedem nur empfehlen hier zu übernachten.

What a lovely, charming home this is, just perfect for two people. The outside space is amazing and it's pretty great to see monkeys and sloths hanging out in the trees. Lourdes is a great asset to have as well - she is so helpful!

This is a beautiful home in the jungle complete with all of the sounds of toucans parrots and howler monkeys. And just a short walk or bikeride to the beach. The house is perfect set up so we were able to cook our own meals and enjoy time away from the beach in a beautiful jungle back yard that's got some really nice fruit trees. We stayed here for 3 weeks and wish we could stay for longer. Lourdes is such a beautiful and warm host who gave us our space but was very close by if we needed anything. One of my favorite things to do in the late afternoon was to sit on the hammock out back and watch the toucans fly back to their nest in a large tree across the road. Very clean very comfortable. Great host great spot Thankyou Lourdes. Doug and Crystal.

This has been a wonderful place to call home for two weeks. I will miss watching the jungle world from the hammock!

The host canceled this reservation 48 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Wow. Talk about a scenic backyard. Nothing better than getting back from adventures to sitting out on a jungle patio. It's pretty far from downtown Puerto Viejo, so that could le be considered good or bad for what you're looking for in your trip. Quick taxi Drive of less than 10 minutes. Road can be noisy at night but not overly irritating.

El terreno en el que está la vivienda es hermosísimo, rodeado de naturaleza, hay un río pequeño detrás de la propiedad. Se pasa muy tranquilamente. Hay un espacio para asar carne. Está cerca de la calle principal, se puede ir caminando ahí y a la playa. Para una estadía tranquila, es un excelente lugar. Los anfitriones son gente sumamente amable y simpática, están disponibles para lo que sea necesario. Muy recomendado.

I cannot say enough nice things about Lourdes's place! I'd describe it as a luxurious cabin, with a fully functioning kitchen, separate bathroom with rain shower and a four-poster bed with lots of closet space. There's a lot of outside space too including a big dining table, BBQ, and an amazing 'relaxation' porch with hammock and rocking chairs which looks out on to the jungle. If you're lucky you might see some fantastic wildlife including monkeys and humming birds. At night you'll be soothed to sleep with the sounds of the jungle! Lourdes was such an attentive host, she left some food for us in the fridge and lots of extras to help us cook with. She told us all about the area, local buses, beaches, restaurants, and she even gave us a lift to town on a couple passions. Lourdes is an example of the perfect host, I cannot rate her and her place highly enough! By the way, the photos don't do this place justice.

Meine 10 Unterkunft über Airbnb und die bisher spektakulärste. Absolut weiterzuempfehlen für alle die etwas besonderes erleben wollen Umgeben von einem idyllischen Dschungel und mit Blick auf den Fluss kann man hier in der Hängematte mal richtig abschalten. Auch die Ausstattung und Sauberkeit der Unterkunft ist sehr gut. Alex war ein toller Gastgeber und hat uns bei allen Fragen weitergeholfen. Auch der Strand und ein Minimarkt sind nur wenige Minuten entfernt

Einfach nur ein Traum!! Die Unterkunft war so wie beschrieben und sogar noch schöner. Wunderbar hell und luftig in Kombination mit dem Dschungel und den nahe gelegenen Traumstrand kurzum genial. Alex hat sich wunderbar um unsere Belange gekümmert und war jederzeit erreichbar. Würde jederzeit wieder hin. Lieben Dank für Alles...Pure Vida!!!

Jaaaaa!!! Mitten im Dschungel gelegen ist diese Unterkunft ein wahres Fundstück! Die Wohnung ist großzügig geschnitten und wundervoll eingerichtet. Die Veranda mit 2 Hängematten hat (wie die ganze Wohnung) wundervolle Holzböden. Die Wohnung liegt am Fluss wo abends viele Glühwürmchen leuchten ❤️. Ihr könnt den Fluss bis zum Strand folgen (wer will kann den Weg schwimmen). Alex hätte netter und hilfreicher nicht sein können! 5 ️

We had a wonderful time at the River Loft! We spent every morning laying in our hammocks, drinking delicious Costa Rican coffee, while looking out over a river surrounded in lush jungle. The River Loft is a long walk or easy bike ride away from Puerto Viejo and a few other beautiful beaches. We did not feel the road was safe for traveling by foot or bike after dark, but it was very easy to catch the local bus and head into Puerto Viejo or head the opposite direction to spend time in Punta Uva and Manzanillo. The River Loft is surrounded by lush jungle so expect to see or hear plenty of wild life! We also had a wonderful hostess that was available for any questions we had along the way!

The suite was amazing, the location unbelievable. Alex was a great host. I really can't wait to come back to such an astonishing place.

Absolutely perfect location. Close to the beach yet feels as though you are immersed in the jungle. We saw sloths, monkeys, and iguanas right off the deck. One cat in particular adopted us for the stay and was there to greet us morning noon and night. Basic kitchen accommodations adequate for basic cooking needs. Very happy with our stay

This place is actually way better than pictures! Loft is completely renovated and it's very spacious. Easily 4 people can stay without feeling cramped. Shannon was great answering all our questions without any hesitation. Place is not too far from all the restaurants and there's a good size super market right by the house. Few hotels are on the same street so it's great to give directions when you need to be picked up by a shuttle or something.

Everything was just amazing. We stayed on the first floor for our first few nights, before moving upstairs for the remaining stay. When I booked the first floor wasn't available for my whole stay and Alex worked with me and made it very easy for me to book both places. The property is so nice and well landscaped, from the decks you can see all types of wild life. We were lucky enough to see a sloth up in the trees and we could hear the monkeys in the early morning. Alex and his wife where close enough for any questions or issues, while your still secluded and have privacy. The town is also very nice everything is a bike ride away. I would definitely come back again.

Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit im Casa Verde und der Umgebung. Das Fahrrad ist das beste Fortbewegungsmittel und auch notwendig um sich in der Gegend zu bewegen. Großer Pluspunkt ist die Natur und Ruhe. Für Paare geeignet.

Definitiv die schönste Unterkunft, die wir in Costa Rica hatten!!! Wir haben drei Nächte im The Wild Side verbracht und es war super schön dort. Wir hatten ein eigenes kleines Häuschen nur für uns. Das Bungalow ist liebevoll gestaltet und vor allem die offene Küche mit einer Eckbank und einem großen Tisch aus Holz hat uns gut gefallen. Lara hat uns zur Ankunft Blumen auf den Tisch gestellt und Eric hat uns im Garten alle Tiere gezeigt, die da einfach so rumlaufen: Agoutis, Tukan, Faultier, Leguan... Beide waren super nett. Es gibt Fahrräder zum Leihen und der Strand ist gleich in der Nähe und man hat ihn fast für sich allein. Unbedingt auch das Jaguar Rescue Center besuchen, das gleich in der Nähe ist!

Sono stata da erik e lara una settimana. Il posto é magnifico, un vero paradiso per chi ama la natura, il mare e il fascino della giungla. super disponibili per qualsiasi cosa, gentili e premurosi. C é la possibilitá di affittare biciclette per spostarsi in autonomia e il mare é uno dei più belli visti in quella costa. Ripartirei domani!!!Pura vida!

lara and eriks cabinas are located in a very nice place in the middle of the jungle. the beach is in 3 minutes walking distance. we rented a bike which was perfect to have a quick connection to downtown puerto viejo. for dinner there are a couple of restaurants in walking distance. great place if you like to be very close to nature.

Very cute cottage, surrounded by the jungle, close to the sea and the owned by very nice people. we stayed a few days there and we had a great time.

What a BEAUTIFUL place!! One of our favorites on the trip FOR SURE. Lara and Eric were amazing hosts. VERY friendly, VERY helpful and kept such a wonderful, clean home. The room itself was perfect. Clean, everything we needed, decorated wonderfully etc. We enjoyed the location because it was a little way down the road from the "downtown," keeping it quiet, but also still close enough to ride bikes. They gave us great ideas for things to do while there as well, which were awesome. Thanks to you both!

Eric & Lara were so welcoming and kind during our visit. Their guest homes are charming, we loved the blue concrete floors. The space was very clean and functional. The outside area to hangout is really wonderful, there is so much wild life you get to experience whilst staying here ! It's super close to all Puerto Veijo has to offer, yet it feels like you're in the middle of the jungle. We'll def be back ! Thanks guys !!

The Wild Side is amazing! It was our second time coming to Puerto Viejo and we wanted something a little secluded and romantic close to the beach - and that's exactly what we got with Lara's place. The cabins are incredible - we loved the outdoor kitchen/living room area. Everything was neat and clean and lovely. Lara and her boyfriend were very helpful and nice; they've created a really wonderful getaway. It's a close walk to Cocles beach and easy to get to Puerto Viejo (only a nice 20 minute walk or a quick taxi/bus ride). We didn't want to leave and will definitely be returning someday. Thank you Lara!!

Alles war perfeckt und wie besvhrieben. Würde jederzeit gern wieder dort Urlaub machen. Ruhige Nachbarschaft und trotzdem nah am Zentrum.

Location: Amazing!!! The house is just far enough away from Puerto Viejo to have a more relaxed, beach town feeling but close enough that it is an easy bike ride away. There is a market with everything you need for groceries that is also located down the street and the house is a quick walk or bike ride to Playa Cocles. Playa Chiquita/Punta Uva and Manzanillo are also in biking distance. A highlight of the place is that two bikes are provided. We loved biking around Puerto Viejo/ Manzanillo. My friend and I grew up in a beach town where we used to bike everywhere and it was great to spend a week enjoying the lifestyle of biking everywhere again. House: Looks exactly like the photos. It is spacious, well-kept and clean and the kitchen has everything you need. The upstairs and downstairs siting areas are open air and are really nice areas to sit and enjoy the wildlife that comes through the beautiful garden. The neighbors were also friendly and quiet and we always felt safe and secure. Owners: Jean-Marie and his wife are super friendly and helpful! They baked us yummy bread and when we had issues with the bikes (flat tire) Jean-Marie fixed the issue right away. Overall: I really can’t name any downsides except that the internet was slow – but that is super common so get used to that if you are traveling around CR. I live in CR and am always looking for great places to rent when I need a few days off. I am definitely coming back and I highly recommend staying at El Principito.

We had a really nice stay, our beds were comfortable, the rooms were really beautiful, and the house is in a beautiful location. Our hosts were friendly, stayed in good contact, and helped us get settled into the house. The area is perfect, close enough to town to be able to enjoy those benefits, but far from the noise. The house is conveniently located near a market that has everything you need. The hosts even gave us access to beach equipment like snorkels, boogie boards, and even a surf board. This is a beautiful house that I would highly recommended.

La maison répondait exactement à nos besoins. Spacieuse, bien située et entourer d'un jardin luxuriant -où l'on peut voir paresseux, toucans, iguanes ; nous ne pouvions demander mieux. Le petit quartier est tranquille, il est situé près de la route principale ce qui facilite les déplacements et il y a également une petite épicerie bien garnie à proximité. La plage la plus proche n'est pas la plus agréable à cause des grosses vagues mais, un peu plus loin, il y a plusieurs plages plus propices à la baignade. Jean-Marie prête gratuitement 2 vélos, ce qui est très gentil de sa part, mais ils ne sont pas en très bon état et nous avons eu quelques pépins mécaniques. En gros, nous avons adoré notre séjour. Merci !

Amazing house and Mario was great. Storm is the sweetest kitty. The only thing to be aware of is that a few of the locks can be quite tricky. The main bedroom takes some doing to open. Beautiful house and great location. Close to Puerto Viejo by bike (15 minutes) yet away from the all the noise. Beautiful views from all over the house. We saw hummingbirds, iguanas, lizards and more from our windows!

This was a fantastic place to stay on our vacation. We really enjoyed the property, as it was full of beautiful flowers and surrounded by jungle. The house had everything we needed and more. The hosts were very friendly and quick to respond to us. We would stay again!

This beautiful open air house is a gem! We were so lucky to find this place. We are two young couples and the space was perfect for us! The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate us, Jean -Marie (or as the locals call him, Mario) even picked us up and drove us to the house. He gave us 4 bikes which we used every day to get to downtown puerto viejo (only a 5-10 min ride). There is also a cute cuddly cat that lives there!! Highly recommend staying here opposed to a hotel or cabana or hostel... We cooked our own breakfast every morning and slept to the sounds of the jungle every night. We saw Tucans, iguanas and some pretty birds right in our yard. We also got to meet the owner, Mike, who was so nice and gave us some good advice on where to surf and eat. (Tasty Waves!) enjoy the house, you won't be disappointed. Pura Vida!

Jean-Marie and Ghislaine are top hosts, no doubt! The Little Prince is in many ways (at least for us europeans) unique, which we loved. You have the jungle just around the corner and all that comes with it: hummingbirds passing your head while having breakfast, frogs coming for a visit when darkness falls, butterflies and small lizards everywhere. You fall asleep to the sound of many birds and wake up early to the sound of howler monkeys and the neighbours roosters. But you can also see many fantastic birds, green Iguanas, squirrels etc in the trees around you. The cats that comes with the house are nice, one of them is very cuddly and the other one was pregnant (in november 2016) and a little more shy. Jean-Marie is always helpful in any way, brings bread and invited us to come to the weekly early market in Puerto Viejo. He even went to fix one of the bikes so that we could ride with both our kids (one year old and four year old)! The bikes was really fantastic!! We could go anywhere from Manzanillo to Puerto Viejo with the bikes (but bring bike lights/head lamp) and we didn't need a taxi or a car for the whole month we were there. You have to be careful with food in the house, because if you don't keep it clean the ants will do it for you (which can be tricky with a baby...). Jean-Marie arranged for a baby crib with a mosquito net too! There was some toys and snorkeling equipment in the house that we used frequently. I'm so very glad we chose the little prince as our place for a month. It is very nice and privately located and close to several magical beaches and just minutes on the bike from hundreds of good restaurants and things to do!

This location is great in so many ways! Coming here for a tropical relaxing vacation and staying in the Saravaplace would be absolutely perfect! Unfortunately our intention for staying here was to work on our online business as digital nomads and this location didn't exactly support that goal for us. We couldn't find any closed in air conditioned coffee shops in the area and the bugs are crazy in Perto Viejo since it's basically in the middle of the jungle! Both of our computers ended up breaking down from the high humidity and we had to leave a couple of weeks early for San Jose where the nearest Mac Store is located. I will list the Pros and Cons of staying here: Pros: Located on main road Near a grocery store and gym Air conditioning in one bedroom Hammocks on front porch Great accessibility to Adriana's mom who also lives on the property and was very helpful! Near the beach Bike ride to Puerto Viejo only 15-20 minutes Cons: Slow Internet Noisy Road and Construction Hard waterproof mattress Far walk away from Puerto Viejo town (45 min(URL HIDDEN)

Muy buen lugar, muy buen ambiente. Adriana y su esposo fueron súper amables para todo.

Excelente estadía, Adriana y su madre fueron unas hosts atentas amables y siempre disponibles, la casa fue exactamente como lo publicaron en la pagina e inclusive se ve mejor en vivo que en las fotos. Definitivamente vale la pena.

Perfect! We had such a wonderful stay in this house, it had everything we needed and couldn't have asked for more. It was surrounded by beautiful trees and the beach was only a 2 minute walk away. Laundrette and a supermarket also just a few minutes walk away which was so convenient as it meant we could cook our own meals most nights and save money! We volunteered at the jaguar rescue centre for a month during our stay and the house was perfect for coming back to after a long day!! the wifi worked perfectly and so did the air conditioning. mosquito nets were provided which was another plus also a warm shower! All run by such a lovely family, thank you!

This was my second stay at Sarava Place, and once again we had a lovely, relaxing visit. It's so convenient to have a whole house to yourself, to use the kitchen and porch and come and go as needed. The space is beautiful and clean, the family warm and welcoming. Thanks for another great stay!

The place was nestled in the jungle, about 3 km south of town. Very beautiful woodwork in this unique Costa Rican style house. We had a great time! If you have a group of about 5 people, this place is perfectly suited. Adriana was very helpful in aiding us in finding the place and things to do in the area. I would stay again.

The location was excellent and the host provided clear and quick communication! The AC in the bedroom worked very well, too.

We stayed at Sarava for 3 nights over Christmas and we loved it! The house was just 2km away from Puerto Viejo which we easily accessed by taxi. There's a well-supplied supermarket really close by and we rented bikes from Adriana to go to nearby beaches. The house was clean and comfortable - really enjoyed the walk-in shower :-) Everything was as described. There was a little noise coming from the road but really nothing that bothered us. Adriana and her family were lovely people. She answered very quickly and was very helpful if we had any questions. We recommend you stay at Sarava! Thank you very much Adriana :)

Great place

Very nice place to relax and get away from the city!

Excelente lugar para vacacionar súper limpio organizado y sobre todo ambiente para poder relajarse súper recomendado

I loved this place so much!! Everything about the home is very well thought out and tasteful. Mao was a great host and I wouldn't hesitate to go back. The monkey sounds at 4am are pretty hilarious but alarming at first if you don't realize what they are (I didn't know!!) but to watch them fly through the trees right next to you is so amazing. Situated very close to the jaguar rescue centre and a short drive to the town of Puerto Viejo!

Increible lugar dentro de bisque caribeño. Muy cómodo para 4 personas. Muy bien condicionado y limpio. Cerca de playas y restaurantes. Regresaría feliz!

The place was simply amazing, loved everything about it! The surrounding is full of nature, we actually saw monkeys while having breakfast. The place itself was perfectly clean, close to town and very pleasant. Would definitly recommend it and can't wait to go back.

La casa de Mao es increíble, la vista de la casa es hermosa y Mao está presente en los últimos detalles! Hay una paz increíble, vale la pena verdaderamente! Fue un placer habernos hospedado ahí.

¡Nuestra experiencia fue excelente! La casa está hermosamente decorada y el ambiente es muy acogedor. La cocina muy bien equipada, tanto que es un gusto cocinar allí. Disfrutamos mucho de la vista desde todas las ventanas, principalmente desde el balcón... La cercanía de la naturaleza es un placer. Muchas gracias, Mao y Gabriel por la buena comunicación, responder a todas nuestras preguntas, resolver algunas cuestiones cuando lo solicitamos y por la constante amabilidad.

Das Haus liegt sehr schön mit tollem Blick in den Dschungel inkl. Tukan, Brüllaffen und Papageien. Der Empfang und die Betreuung von Chad war sehr herzlich. Die Betten waren gut und die Küchenausstattung komplett. Wir haben gerne auf den riesigen überdachten Balkon (Patio) gesessen. Die Strände sind nicht weit weg und auch zu Fuß gut zu erreichen.

ruhige im Wald gelegene Unterkunft. Aufgeweckt wird man morgens durch die Brüllaffen, welche sich unter anderem auch auf Bäumen direkt vor dem Haus aufhalten. Gemütliche Terasse mit Hängematte für den Morgenkaffee inmitten des Waldes mit all seinen Tieren und Geräuschen - eine tolle Erfahrung. Anna und Chad sind sehr hilfsbereit und immer sofort zur Stelle, sollte ein Problem auftreten. Sie haben uns auch immer wieder Tipps gegeben, sei dies für Ausflüge, Essen etc. Der Urlaub in Puerto Viejo war eine tolle Erfahrung und wir waren gerne Gast in diesem Haus.

Amazing hosts. Beautiful house

Toucan roost was an amazing week long stay for myself and 3 friends. Chad was extremely helpful and provided great information whenever we needed it. The house is close to one of th3 best beaches in the area with playa cocles, and getting to Puerto Viejo or the other beaches was not difficult at all!

Anna and Chad were very great and relational people who went above and beyond in their service! Although our time with them was brief, we truly appreciated them and their service of us. Great place managed by exceptional people!

The host canceled this reservation 31 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Anna and Chad's place was incredible - the nicest place we stayed on our backpacking vacation for sure. The pictures don't do it justice! This place is very spacious - two large bedrooms, big back deck, and large living and dining area. Everything was so comfortable and CLEAN! Highly recommend. Also, Anna was SO responsive through the Airbnb app. She responded to questions we had in seconds and was so helpful arranging transportation for us and waking up super early to help us check out before sunrise. You'll love your stay here!

House is as described in the photos. It is located on a secondary road, like 300 meters off the main road, so it is still close to everything in Puerto Viejo and Cocles, but it gives you a privacy feeling since it's not in the main road. Please it's in the middle of the forest so from the back yard you will be able to see all kind of birds and even monkeys if you are lucky. Anna was puntual and receive us upon arrival on the house and explain us all related to the house. It has wifi and cable. At the house everything was very clean and neat. As a resume I will definitely go back to Anna&Chad's place when back in Puerto Viejo.

Wir waren zu 5 in der Jungle Loft Wohnung. Der Wohnbereich ist gemütlich und liebevoll gestaltet und läd zum Verweilen ein. Selbst bei starkem Regen regnet es von der Seite nicht herein und die umgebende Pflanzenwelt lässt einen wie im Dschungel fühlen. Es ist wunderschön, morgens in einem der schönen Zimmer mit einem Blick aus dem Fenster aufzuwachen. Es war kein Problem, dass wir erst sehr spät einchecken konnten, Manu hatte sich un eine Schlüsselübergabe gekümmert. Manu wirkt sehr symphatisch und zeigt sich aufgeschlossen und hilfsbereit. Es waren sehr schöne Tage...

This is a good place if you just need to crash somewhere for the night. It has more of a backpacker feel. The staff is cool and made us feel comfortable. Its not the cleanest place, but is doable.

La casa de Manu es agradable, bonita y comoda. La ubicación es excelente para estar tranquilo, rodeada de vegetación y a un paso de la playa. Repetiríamos!

The place is just amazing, great vibes, close to everything, but far away enough to disconnect yourself from the city, Manu is a really easy going guy and I will definitely will be back soon

Zunächst ist die Familie von Adriana sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, im Krankheitsfall, wenn du ein Taxi benötigst oder sonstige Transportmittel überall hin haben sie für dich dort angerufen. Sie hatten immer einen guten Rat für dich, egal um was es ging. Auch die Unterkünfte waren wie beschrieben, alles war sauber und man konnte sehr gut entspannen. Es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub!!!

Alles super. Gute Unterkunft und nette Leute.

The place was amazing! We loved it! It's close to the most beautiful beaches... The place is quiet, you can hear all the birds and frogs by dawn... We definitely reccomend it! Adriana was so nice with us... We felt like home!

It was wonderful getting to know Adriana and her family! They are very warm and supportive and were able to give us lots of information about the area and answer any questions we had. The location is perfect, just across from Playa Cocles and within 10 minutes of Puerto Viejo center. The house is beautiful and comfortable with lots of vegetation and resident wildlife. The AC and fans helped to keep out the humidity that is characteristic of Puerto Viejo. We had a lovely stay!

It has been a nice experience at Adriana's house! The houses, a mixture of costarican, japanese, open space building, gives you the feeling of being into the nauture. We were talking to the host and they just showed us, on the tree across the road, a sloth, hanging quiet. In the evenings and all during the nights, all the interesting rumors from the nearby jungle can be heard. What an experience! The house was clean, very confortable, and well equipped. Everything running well. Overall a good experience, with a nice and friendly host, in a definetly young, alternative, international enviroment. Beaches and waves nearby are great!

Great house, close to the beaches.

The Saravaplace Tropical House was in a great location, easy walk to the beach. The description and pictures of the place were spot on. The hammocks on the deck were perfect for relaxing.

wonderful place, great location and walking distance to the beautiful Cocles beach. Lots of little cozy and delicious international and local cousine restaurants nearby. Puerto Viejo is only a couple of KIms away and there is a bike rental accross the street from Adriana's so it is convenient. The casitas are beautiful as well and have all you need for a confortable stay. Thanks so much for sharing this place! We definitely recommend it.

You are living in the middle of wildlife with all you could need. Beautifull house, very clean and well equiped. The location is perfect : super quite, among nature, close to the beach and good distance to the main road. And smart contact with Mickael. We definitively recommand this place for a nice experience on the caribbean side

Wir waren im Februar 2016 in der Casa Manu Ciao und es hat uns äußerst gut gefallen. Das Haus ist einfach super gemacht, die Zimmer sind einfach toll und vor allem die Terrasse mit Küche ist eine echte Chill - Zone. War manchmal schwierig an die Beach zu gehen, wenn die Terrasse so gemütlich ist. Einzig das Bad könnte eine Auffrischung brauchen aber das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist bei diesem Haus wirklich in Ordnung. Manu ist sehr hilfsbereit, hat alle Informationen die man so benötigt. Der nahe Strand ( Playa de Cooles ) ist nur wenige Minuten weg und menschenleer, WOW ! Wir waren mit einem Bus unterwegs und haben uns alle Strände der Umgebung angeschaut. Vom Surfen am Hausstrand Playa de Cocles bis zum Badestrand in Manzanillo haben wir alles besucht. Dieser Teil von CR ist einfach Karibik pur, wie im Märchen !

Ein ruhiger Ort nur ein paar hundert Meter von einem der schönsten Strände der Küste. Manu war immer hilfsbereit und ist ein angenehmer Nachbar. Die Wohnung mit der Küche und dem Essen im Freien ist speziell und sehr gemütlich. Von hier aus kann Mann viele interessante Ausflüge machen wir werden gerne wieder kommen.

This house is very nice. We spent good time in it. Very quiet. We did not like too much cold water in the shower. The kids loved the garden...

le rêve pour tous les aventuriers en toute simplicité : une maison ouverte sur la nature à 100 m de plages magnifiques!!! Manu est un hôte formidable, qui plus est, parle un excellent francais,anglais,espagnol et italien. Il etait present pour nous aider et nous parler et nous avons sincerement apprecie sa compagnie. nous avons croisé en 2 jours des colibris, papillons, un paresseux, écureuils... nous avons passé un super séjour et souhaiterions déjà revenir. Pour les passionnés de chocolat : vous pouvez visiter la ferme de cacao de Jeff : le chocolate tour c est super sympa. Pura vida Manu :)

We loved this place! The outdoor area was super cool and Manu gave helpful suggestions. It was close enough to the beach but renting bikes was a must.

Excelente!

This home is truly in the jungle! The kitchen and living room space is all outdoors. Comfy beds and interesting architecture. The nearby beach was amazing.

Great location! A little off the beaten path, very easy access to many beautiful beaches. We had a car so were easily able to get into town-- I'd recommend renting bikes if you don't have a car with you. The place itself is lovely and just the right vibe for laid-back Puerto Viejo. The caretakers were friendly and helped with some requests we had. Be aware that there is just a door between the upper apartments, and though there's a lock on the guest side we sometimes had to leave it open when we couldn't get the outer door to lock. I'd highly recommend Manu Ciao for a laid-back, more rustic, jungle experience. The hot water was unreliable (which won't matter to most since it's so hot there!), but otherwise our stay was great.
