"Villas en el Bosque provided the perfect sanctuary for our family to unwind, relax, and fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Costa Rica. The villa offered both comfort and space for our family of four. The owners were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was the breathtaking view. Our villa overlooked the lush forest, with a stunning glimpse of the ocean in the distance. Every morning, we enjoyed the natural spectacle right from our patio,...

Jungle River Resort

3.0 star property

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (6)
"The place is absolutely lovely, right next to a beautiful river and surrounded by forest. In general it’s quiet, yet the music from the bar was a bit high at times. Breakfast was very basic. The cabin was very nice, generally comfortable but lacking cabinets to store our clothes. The cabin also was not super clean. I would certainly consider staying there again, but I think the price we paid was too high for the quality of the products, services and amenities received. "
