We had two wonderful stays in this B + B, enjoyed everything and everyone. Staff was so friendly and helpful, extraordinary breakfast, wonderful garden. We even had a sloth and toucans in our backyard. The whole team made our stay rememberable. Special thanks to Letika, who was so helpful when we needed it.

“Amazing B&B with sweet staff and beautiful surroundings.”

Everything.The slots and monkeys in the trees around the house,the breakfast,the sweet and helpful staff and the pool/garden. It’s in a small town and the beach is just 2 min away and is wild and beautiful-with amazing sunsets.We walked many km up and down the beach at sunrise and sunset.

“Excellent”

Beautiful place, very comfortable and spacious room. Nice pool area. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good breakfast.

We wished we had stayed longer in this place. Time stopped there, when being in the middle of nature. You don't even have to go to national parks to see the animals, they have sloths, monkeys, hummingbirds, iguanas etc wandering in and around the property. You could see in every step that owners have a special attention to details in a good way (quality of the building e.g soundproofing, little gestures at the breakfast, they make sure you have all the information you'd need for a perfect vacation). Breakfast was exceptional.

“Luxurious and relaxing”

We had an amazing welcome by Teddy. We saw sloths right away ! It was super luxurious the room and pool ! The location close to beach was also amazing.

“A relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable place to stay.”

Breakfast was more than adequate. The pool was lovely. Proximity to the ocean was really good. Nearby restaurants were very good to exceptional.

Jardìn de Los Monos was absolutely perfect. Rooms were spacious, bed super comfortable (loved the softness of the sheets), really nice shower and lots of space outside to relax. The pool area was so nice, we could've stay there all day. Breakfast was delicious, we loved the Dutch pancakes and bread. The owner and Teddy were super friendly and helpful as well. Finally the location is perfect if you're looking for a peaceful place, surrounded by nature and animals and just 2 mins from the beach. We'll miss this place so much!

“Beautiful jungle B&B”

Warm welcome by the owner, big beautiful rooms in the jungle. Monkeys running over your roof, the garden is their playground

MATAPALO is an absolutely wonderful place to stay, with a friendly Dutch owner. The entire space is tastefully decorated and clean. In front of my room, I could relax in a hammock or by the pool, where I not only got a free towel but could also make coffee or tea for free at the nearby bar. The property is surrounded by beautiful trees and shrubs that create a cozy atmosphere—and if it weren't for the amazing beaches, I could have easily spent the whole day there. One morning, while enjoying a great breakfast (you can choose from three types), I saw a sloth with her baby settle into a nearby tree, which just proves how peaceful and tranquil this place is. I highly recommend it.

“This place is exceptionally located between beach and jungle with everything you need for a relaxing break ❤️”

We loved this place! We came for a relaxing break and it was perfect. We were greeted by Teddy at the gate in the pouring rain and he handed us umbrellas. Breakfasts are fabulous. You can spend time lounging by the pool or in the hammock outside your room. You can walk to the beach which is super close and wander along the shore for ages. And it’s peaceful- except when the monkeys come to visit and bounce around on the roof ( but this is a high light). Teddy made reservations for us and helped us with some bookings and Letikka ( our host) provided us with lots of helpful information. We would definitely recommend!

“Superb small B&B, great hosts”

Absolutely superb accommodation near the Matapalo beach. Great hosts who helped us with advice and showing some sloths and toucans. Outstanding breakfast.

“A tropical garden with beautiful flowers and wildlife”

The name of this lodge its really how it is: a wonderful garden where we could watch whiteface monkeys and even a sloth directly in front of our room. You can relax on sun loungers at the swimming pool or go to the beach which is just a short walk away. The host Lettika and her staff are very friendly. For breakfast there are different options and all of them were delicious.

An amazing place to stay with wildlife present in the actual garden! Sloths, monkeys, hummingbirds, lizards, etc. The staff (Teddy and Dama) are fantastic. Teddy is very informative about the animals and locality. Dama makes the best pineapple smoothies. Letika is very welcoming and helped us book the local supper club. Our room was a good size with air-conditioning and was exceptionally clean. The beach was 2 mins walk with beautiful sunsets with crabs, pelicans, etc. The sea was rough, but we were able to get in. More suitable for surfing. We would highly recommend it.

“Nice sunny vacations”

Breakfast was good but with limited options. Very close to the beach. Quiet. Jardin well manage. Staff was friendly.

“Peaceful, wildlife, beach this was a fabulous end to our visit to Costa Rica”

Room was spacious and clean, lovely small pool with tea and coffee facilities. Playa Matapalo is 500m away and you can walk along it for miles watching Pelicans fly by and Scarlett Macaws. We saw sloths and monkeys at the property. Lettika is a lovely helpful host we had a fantastic stay.

“Brilliant stay would love to come back one day”

Everything. Delightful stay, the visiting monkeys and kinkajous a lovely bonus

“Beautiful place for a quiet relaxing break”

Beautiful, clean property. Great location across from the beach. Excellent facilities including pool. Every little thing has been thought of. Nice to see monkeys and sloths close by.

“Beautiful Oasis near the beach”

The B&B is really beautiful, every detail is considered. The personal and service is also excellent. Breakfast delicious.
