I would describe it as tropical rustic. It was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful ##### Jim Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 28 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Consider this more of a rustic camping-like experience. Cabins have screens, but bugs still come in. Incredible location! Spider monkeys were swinging above our cabin every morning, holwers start up at day break, and capuchins befriended us at the beach. Scarlett macawas everywhere, we saw them constantly, as well as toucans. The beach immediately out front is wavy and rough, but my kids still jumped in the waves daily. The highlight is San Josecito beach, a 17 minute walk along the ocean. It is a calmer bay with a reef and plenty of fish. We swam with a 4-5 foot sea turtle for half an hour. This place was deserted until noon every day. Food was excellent, fresh and traditional. They make fresh fruit juices daily! Staff are very lovely and go out of their way to ensure you have a great stay. It was a very memorable part of our trip and we felt fully immersed in the jungle at ocean forest. ##### Sarah Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Piera 18 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Piera Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Misti 31 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Misti Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [5 Star Hotels in Bodrum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Bodrum-Hotels.s50-0-d745.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Cloud Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Cloud-Forest-Lodge.h2050850.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Luna Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Luna-Hotel-Spa.h2305532.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Budapest](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Budapest-Hotels-Hilton-Budapest.h9156.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Quay House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fowey-Hotels-The-Old-Quay-House-Hotel.h1517270.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Phoenix](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phoenix-Hotels.d178298.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Cosmopolitan Of Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Las-Vegas-Hotels-The-Cosmopolitan-Of-Las-Vegas.h3818880.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [El Remanso Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-El-Remanso-Lodge.h11640675.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Poas Volcano Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Poas-Volcano-Lodge.h5259118.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Hainan Airlines](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hainan-Airlines-Flights.cHU.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to El Nido (ENI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/eni/london-to-el-nido) > > [Flights from Stroud (GLO) to Forest (GCI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/glo/gci/gloucester-to-guernsey) > > [Flights from Newquay (NQY) to Norwich (NWI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/nqy/nwi/newquay-to-norwich) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Fletcher (AVL)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/avl/london-to-asheville) > > [Flights from Birmingham (BHX) to Nikël (TIA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhx/tia/birmingham-to-tirana) ### Activities > [Things to do in Yellowstone National Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Yellowstone-National-Park.d6347010.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Slovenia Adriatic Coast Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Slovenia-Adriatic-Coast.d6058235.Holidays-City-Breaks)
