“We love the Jardin de Los Monos. It was quaint, tastefully decorated, and very private. The breakfast was incredible and we could hear the beach from our porch. We will for sure return!”

“Absolutely amazing stay! We were here 3 nights but I could have stayed longer. There are so many activities within a 45 minute ride from here that we barely got to enjoy the pool, the peaceful garden and sitting area or the breathtaking beach...”

“During our stay in Costa Rica, we spent nights at 6 different hotels and this one was easily the best. This place is like a nice little haven in a peaceful town close to Quepos and Manuel Antonio. The facilities were fantastic and I could go on...”

“I stayed at Jardin de los monos only for a very short stay. I fell in love with the place immediately. The rooms are big, clean and very nice. I woke up to a garden full of monkeys and even saw two sloths. They seem to be living in their garden....”

Company info

We are a couple from The Netherlands who moved to Costa Rica after years of searching and planning. We even backpacked for 1,5 years through Central and South America to find THE best place. We believe we found it right here, come join us!

Property info

We are a small boutique B&B which you'll feel like home. Our property is less than 2 min. walk from one of the most beautiful beaches of Costa Rica; secluded, endless sand to stroll on. Monkeys visiting daily and guaranteed you will see sloths (2 and 3-toed). We have 6 rooms in total (all of them with AC) and a swimming pool with swim-up bar. Please note! Come by car; Playa Matapalo is not suited to visit by public transport (lots of walking to the nearest bus stop, limited amount of restaurants on walking distance, 1 mini market, no ATM and no taxi's)

Neighborhood info

Beautiful beach surrounded by jungle, lots of wildlife to spot, endless beachwalks, surf, horseback riding and many more activities. Close to Dominical, Uvita and Manuel Antonio park. Day tours e.g. to Corcovado Park or whalewatching (in season).
