“Magnifico”

Tucked away in the lush jungle of Mal País, this intimate hotel is magical. From the moment I arrived, I was surrounded by the sounds of nature—howler monkeys in the distance, birdsong at sunrise, and the gentle rustle of the trees in the evening. It feels like a hidden sanctuary where time slows down, and every detail invites you to truly relax. The rooms are well designed: simple, elegant, and in harmony with the natural surroundings. Waking up to sunlight filtering through the trees and falling asleep to the rhythm of the jungle is an experience you won’t forget. Everything is spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully arranged, making it easy to feel at home while still immersed in the wild beauty of Costa Rica. There are hiking trails and horses to rent for tours as well and a stunning, private waterfall. Star Mountain creates a place for you to undo the stresses of your life. The reception was exceptional: warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making my stay special. Located just minutes from stunning beaches and Mal País’ laid-back surf culture, this hotel offers the perfect balance of adventure and tranquility. If you’re looking for an authentic, peaceful escape in paradise, this place is an absolute gem.

I like the location of it. its in a very beautiful place in the jungle.

The location is very special and the wildlife all around you.

“Amazing experience!”

I had an amazing stay at Jungle Lodge Hotel! It's super quiet and private, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The pool area is beautiful, surrounded by lush greenery. There are lots of animals and nature everywhere, making it feel like a true jungle retreat. The air is incredibly fresh and pure, which made every moment refreshing. The walking trail is fantastic, offering stunning views and a great nature experience. Plus, it's pet friendly, so I could bring my furry friend along. Overall, a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy nature! Highly recommend!

“Perfect stay with a lovely swimming pool”

Everything was perfect, we loved this place in middle of pure nature ! Thank you !

The location is very special and the wildlife all around you.

Beautiful located in the jungle and really quiet and nice pool.

“Very disappointing”

Being in the middle of nature. The pool. Wi fi was not as bad as in the reviews. The size of the hut. The price is reasonable considering the place can hold 5 people.

“Paradise”

This is paradise hidden in the jungles! Such an unique experience of being immesed in the forest. Very beautiful, stunning property! Lady who cooked breakfast is very nice and manager always responds for all needs via whats app.

“A total must for nature lovers!”

I absolutely LOVED star mountain. Such a peaceful, adorable piece of property. The pool area is great, staff was lovely and the price was super cheap + they include breakfast. The jungle air was so fresh and nice. The ambience was lush, clean and pretty. Super recommended!

“Lovely little Oasis in the middle of the jungle - highly recommended!”

We were warmly welcomed by Alexia who owns and runs the place together with her family. The place itself is very bright, very clean, beautifully and tastefully decorated in harmonic colours and with attention to detail (e.g. pleasant “warm” light in the room, enough plug sockets and towel hangers, space for clothes). Beautiful pool with nice wooden sunloungers, in a beautiful tropical garden with a lot of animals and animal sounds. They have horses on the property and one can go on horse riding trips directly with them, which we found was a huge plus. Excellent service, and very nice owners. The place feels very remote and is a little universe for itself, which we loved. We had a 4 wheel drive so getting there and driving back and forth to Santa Teresa for lunch, dinner etc was no problem, its just a 12 minutes drive. Altogether we really didn’t want to leave and will come back if we ll ever be in that corner again.
