I presume this place is one of those where you find your little Costa Rica paradise or where you rather try to make the best out of a situation. Throughout our 5 week CR trip and comparing it with 7 other similarly priced accommodations, the jungle hut was one of our lesser favorite stays.
What other guests might want to consider:
- The beach is just a couple of steps away and you can even see the sunrise through the trees from the upstairs bed.
- The downstairs bedroom can be closed with sliding doors and windows, the upstairs bedroom is surrounded by doors and windows, covered with a roof, but the construction leaves it from atop open to nature. The bathrooms have simple big holes in the walls for air and light.
- There is a lot of wildlife in and outside of the house: many birds and monkeys, the 4 dogs of the caretaker, spiders of all sizes, different types of scorpions, bats, big toads, hermit crabs, etc
- The house is close to the public road, which is very frequently used by motorbikes, quads and cars, which people enjoy racing at all times of the day.
- Every property around has many guard dogs which roam the beach and also check out the place, when the caretakers dogs are locked away. At night, the dogs of the neighborhood can be very communicative.
- As you arrive on the property with your car, it is helpful to know to follow the path and keep to the right, where you will find the jungle house. To get additional information for your check-in, you can call the property manager.
- There is one table in the hut, in front of the kitchen, which can be used by maybe three people to enjoy a meal, play games, etc.
- The first floor has a very big deck with two chairs and a hammock where one can enjoy the sound of the sea, the jungle around and the wildlife. On some evenings you might be joined by quite a load of bugs that give you company (and might keep you from talking).
- There is a safe in the downstairs bedroom, which was locked and therefore not usable. The lock to the upstairs rooms was broken, but the doors to the downstairs bedroom could be locked.
