Jardín de los Monos offers accommodation in Matapalo just a 1 minute walk from the beach. A swimming pool, free WiFi is featured and free private parking is available on site.

Every room has a private bathroom and a private patio where you can relax and spot jungle wildlife, including monkeys and sloths. A seating area, air conditioning, ceiling fans, mini fridge and bed linen are also included.

Everything was perfect! The room, pool area, garden, breakfasts, and all the amazing animals we saw including tons of capuchin monkeys, several sloths, a kinkajou, and a migration of land crabs just blew us away! Lettika has put so many special touches to the entire property and we loved everything so much. The property is so close to a beautiful and not busy beach which was so special. Sunsets were incredible. Jardin de los Monos was the most relaxing part of our two week trip to Costa Rica.

Situated in Matapalo, 600 metres from Matapalo Beach and 37 km from Manuel Antonio National Park, Raya features spacious air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. This bed and breakfast offers free private parking and luggage storage space. The bed and breakfast has facilities for disabled guests.

Everything was impeccably clean. The room is spacious and cozy. The bed is a king size and very comfy. The breakfast is served at your door - in previous day you just need to inform your breakfast options and time of delivery. The hotel is a brand new building and everything is carefully run by the owners themselves. Extra tip: In front of the hotel there's a stable with horses available for a ride. We SUPER recommend this ride, as we had a lot of fun. It lasted 2 hours and on top of the ride itself, in nature and at the beach watching the sunset, our guide (Angel) was very friendly. He shared his knowledge about the local flora and spotted animals, such as monkeys and sloths. We even stopped for a coconut water drink, that he opened for us, right from the tree. It is really worth it! Comparable to other rides we've seen in Costa Rica, it was also very affordable.

Set in Dominical, 44 km from Manuel Antonio National Park, Iguana Libre offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. The property is around 38 km from Marina Pez Vela, 14 km from Alturas Wildlife Sanctuary and 15 km from Nauyaca Waterfalls. Facilities include a terrace and free WiFi is available.

This place is paradise. We saw more animals here than anywhere else so far in Costa Rica. Even though it is just off the main highway, it is the jungle. The property is large, and full of trees. A troupe of monkeys comes to visit almost everyday. There are agouti, coati, iguana, toucans, hummingbirds, and at night, not far away, coyotes. There is an absolute symphony of nature sounds. The owner, Bettina, and her daughters, are lovely. The breakfast is great - fresh fruit, fresh buns, eggs, cereal, coffee. It kept us going all day. The hotel is ideally situated for visiting the Nauyaca Waterfalls, Marino Ballena National Park and the Uvita beach, Hacienda Baru nature trails, the Alturas Wildlife Sancturary, and more. There is a lovely swimming pool. We would do an excursion in the morning, and hang out by the pool in the afternoon. We were here for six nights, and had a fantastic time. Would definitely visit again.

    I really liked that the room was made with a touch of love. It was cute and thought through what traveller needs - enough places to hang your clothes, comfortable bed and pillows with natural bed linen, bedside table with bedside lamp, a table and chair. Sounds like basics but very hard to find normally in the rooms for a lower budget. And I loved a hammock! So great to listen to the sound of waves and relax. The beach is just 100m away. And Vanessa was offering even pancakes! Perfect Sunday morning 🥰

    Great uncrowded beach location, I don’t understand people saying it was far from the beach - it’s a 3 min walk. Nice big room with good cooking facilities. Amazingly helpful lady helped us with everything, even my washing. They really wanted to please. Lovely quiet time in the pool, bird, Iguana and frog watching, when other guests weren’t around. Amazing value.

    Owners were great, very approachable gave advice on things to do and where to go and also a location to see sloths. Room is big and very clean, with comfortable bed and nice hot shower. Owner makes great breakfast especially nice big waffles, so bring a big jar of Nutella. There is a small outside seating area for each room where you can eat or sit and chill. Very close to a great restaurant and to a nice beach.

    Wonderfull location on the beach, amazing garden with palm trees and delicous breakfast. The Bungalow was very clean and beautiful furnished, we felt very comfortable and warm welcomed during our whole stay. We stayed for two nights and wish that we could have stayed longer. Definitely recommend it!!!

    We felt very welcome at COCO beach Village. The owners are so kind and helpful! The room was big and very clean. AND THE LOCATION IS A HIDDEN GEM. Its perfect with the most beautiful sunsets! The area is nice, calm, safe and it’s a short walk to the amazing beach. When we’ll go to Costa Rica again we definitely will come back to this place!

    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.
