“Great, Spacious Place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 16, 2012

I stayed here last year with my family for my birthday and it was great. We rented the main, 3 bedroom house. It was nicely furnished, A/C, with all the modern ammenities you would expect from a nice hotel. We were alone on the property (which has beautiful gardens, a creek, pool, and BBQ) and felt very safe. This is a great "base camp" for families, as it is in between Manuel Antonio and Quepos.

“Jungle Creek”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 8, 2012

We just got back from Costa Rica, went first week of April and it was great! We travelled with 3 kids under 10 and stayed at Jungle Creek which is between Quepos and Manuel Antonio. I highly recommend the place, great for families or small groups who need a base camp of sorts for day trips. The rooms were clean and spacious, the pool/patio was fun, kids loved it and the property manager Jackie was awesome!! She was super great in helping us plan trips both horseback riding and zip lining, both companies she reco'd were top notch friendly, well-organized and safe. I highly recommend Jungle Creek for any visits to the central region.

“This is the perfect place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 21, 2012

The best place we stayed in Costa Rica! Jackie is (as you're already read) the best. The place was immaculate and so beautifully furnished...candles and all. The location was such a pleasant surprise-it was so close to Manuel Antonio and within walking distance to the grocery store and many restaurants and beaches. We loved hanging out at the pool after a long day of activities and cooking shrimp on the grill. Fabulous.

Room Tip: We loved the El Gekko.

“Home in Costa Rica”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2012

Jackie was fantastic. Loa is our buddy...what a dog!!!! Dos Palmas ismournhome away from home. I wouldn't stay anywhere else but Jungle Creek. The property is beautiful and clean. Jungle creek has A/C, fast wi-fi, a very nice rancho and pool with a grill.

The location is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. We already miss it. We are going back in August.

“Welcoming Journey”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 10, 2012

Hello! My mom and I spent one lovely night at the Jungle Creek. The villa is very well kept and its owner, Jackie, knows how to render this place welcoming and relax. Just a step away from the crowded road leading to Manuel Antonio, you will enjoy this peaceful villa.
