If the above description suits you, Byblos is the place for you. The bungalow is roomy, but not all are private. Ours faced the pool area. However, this did not stop our next door neighbor (who banged on the wall after we couldn't wake up to our alarm) from going "all natural" on the porch. Yikes! However, the breakfast is... More

Byblos was in a good location and had a lot of perks(casino & bar) but it was out dated and rough around the edges. We first stayed in the main hotel and later upgraded to a bungalow. If you are a couple I suggest the bungalow because its more private. The rooms are clean and do the job but I... More

The best feature hands down are the monkeys. They came out to play in the trees around 4pm. We stayed in one of the private bungalows (room 5) and were able watch the monkeys from the comfort of our own balcony. The bungalow rooms have an amazing rustic feel, overlooking a creek that flows through the resort. The rooms include... More

Hotel Byblos was a great experience. True, the rooms could use some updating, but the staff was exceptionally friendly and the bar area was fun, providing free Latin dance lessons and a Ladies Nite!! At 3pm everyday, two types of monkeys would swing through the trees surrounding the pool! In a great location, we easily walked the 2km to Manuel... More

Staff is friendly and breakfast sufficient but property is a bit worn. The photos shown are of the cabins but our room was in the hotel building (up several flights of steps). The room was OK with working A/C, refrig, microwave. An annoyance, however, was the constant thump from the music in the attached bar (and we were 2 flights... More

I stayed a night here and really enjoyed it. I was somewhat skeptical of the Casino and Sports bar crowd/atmosphere part of this hotel but I stayed in one of the jungle Villas and it was very nice. The Casino/Sports bar is away from the villas (but closer to the regular hotel rooms). They may be more of a negative... More

We didnt stay at the hotel itself, rather a rental property from the same owners- Casa Sarita. We did however visit Byblos daily for breakfast, use of the pool, and help from the amazing concierge- Melissa. We had the pleasure of being in Costa Rica while the owners were also in town and they were friendly and very helpful in... More

I went out on a limb and booked a vacation with Byblos on a recommendation from a friend. I had never been out of the US before. I had no idea what to expect or really what to do in Costa Rica, but i was really wanting an adventure. An adventure is exactly what I got! I love hiking, sight... More

Byblos was by far the best hotel we stayed at in Costa Rica. We stayed in a bungalow, and it was awesome! Like being in your own jungle tree house! Monkeys, lizards and birds were right off the front deck, and lush rain forest surrounds everything. The room was spacious and clean, the pool was cool, the food was good,... More
