Spacious rooms, secure car park. Sloth snoozing in trees outside … wow factor! Enjoyable stop after drive from Alajuela. Having been to Manuel Antonio, would definitely recommend the beach here - no crowds, and no hassle. Relaxed atmosphere and excellent restaurant next door. Recommend.

Very comfortable and big bed, great shower, delicious breakfast, very clean and exceptionally welcoming hosts. They have a lot of info on activities in the area and the local flora and fauna. But most of all they make you feel at home and safe. I would definitely come again to spend some relaxing days at Raya in Matapalo! The location is just perfect, everything in walking distance 7‘ to the beach, 5‘ to famous and awesome Matapalo Supper Club Restaurant, another restaurant and the supermarket. 20‘ to the bus stop. And on the other side of the road: Angelo who takes you on trips with his lovely horses.

The tent was large and comfortable. The setting was splendid. Beautiful landscaping. We got a visit from a troop of monkeys. That was exciting and fun. Highly recommend Rafiki Beach Camp.

We loved the owners, Bettina & Roman. We loved the forest surrounding their property, a welcome cjange from the beaches we had stayed at before. The breakfast was fantastic with homemade rolls, butter and jam. We'll be back!

We were lucky to book this unique bus-home at the last minute! Nestled in the jungle, the place is absolutely beautiful—clean, well-decorated, and surrounded by nature. The outdoor shower with hot water was a special touch, and the kitchen had everything we needed. After driving for three hours through a storm, we arrived late at night, exhausted and unable to find food. To our surprise, the host greeted us at 10 PM with a box of spaghetti and pesto sauce—such a thoughtful gesture! Waking up to the sounds of singing birds and the peaceful jungle was pure magic. Highly recommend this one-of-a-kind experience!

We absolutely loved our stay in this jungle house — it truly feels like sleeping in the heart of the jungle . The views are incredible, the pool is stunning, and the whole atmosphere is peaceful and magical. We loved it so much that we decided to extend our stay for an extra night — and honestly, looking back, we would have stayed two more if we could! The location is perfect — close to Manuel Antonio, Uvita, and beautiful beaches, yet still completely surrounded by nature. Our host was amazing — super kind and responsive. Overall, a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Totally worth it! 🌿✨

If you like to have a quiet vacation where you feel one with nature, this place is for you. It’s different from other cities we visited yet offers some of activities other places offer and it’s cheaper here. Food was delicious and cheap. Definitely visiting again.

Beautiful place, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere.

Beautiful place, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere. The epitome of Pura Vida. There are three licensed restaurants worth visiting, Akachete, La Esquinita and Supper Club. All are open for dinner, La Esquinita also breakfast and lunch and Akachete for lunch. There is Matapalo main centre with police, church, school and shops, also more eateries for lunches and snacks. And Playa Matapalo 15 minutes down the road, with one hotel (Coco Beach) and many B&B's, Airbnb and lodges close to the highly rated beach. Matapalo beach apartments (Jungle House) has a pool as well. Walks along the beach can go on the ever and the sunsets are magnificent. You can walk to Dominical along the beach, there are 4 rivers to cross which is very easy at low tide and it takes about 3 or 4 hours. The flora and fauna views are incredible and it's best in the early morning. You can catch the bus or take a taxi back to Matapalo. Also, take a walk to the small waterfall in the hills, it's about 30 minutes from La Esquinita restaurant. And horse riding on the beach in the afternoon.

Great location for exploring the area from Manuel Antonio down to Uvita and up into the mountains. There were a number of small restaurants to eat at even though we only ate at one. The beach was nice and quiet with lots of shade trees.

It’s a great place if you want a quiet peaceful experience, away from crowds and along with the nature. There are plenty physical activities on the beach—walking, biking, horse riding.Strong current and big waves are making it difficult and safe to swim, but you can wade in or drive to safer beaches. This beach provides you with a privacy and lots of room to explore. There is a little restaurant La Kashette a couple minutes from the beach and a small store.

The ‘included breakfast’ didn’t exist. The washing machine didn’t exist. When we queried this after an hour of negotiation between the host via a third party over the phone we were offered the use of the twin tub. We chose not to as by then we were steaming and desperate to explore. There was no hot tub (we weren’t planning to use it but it was on the details). It took us an hour to find the place because although we asked several locals they had never heard if it. Turned out it was called Jungle House not Matapalo beach apartments.

We stayed at this beautiful small hotel after travelling through Costa Rica for a week. This was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach. The host is lovely and we saw sloths, monkeys, and birds in the back yard. The breakfast was made with love. You will need a car to get around but a few restaurants are close by. We would definately come back!

The location was ideal, close to the beach, and with a good sized pool. Good cooking facilities, and very comfortable bed. Carlos was extremely helpful and always on hand. Very relaxed atmosphere. The beach at Matapalo is beautiful and mostly deserted, with a couple of good restaurants nearby and a supermarket within 10min walk.
