“Very great place to be! Close to everything!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 28, 2012

We stayed at Jungle Creek For a week. 4 adults and 2 kids (4 & 6)... couldnt have been more comfortable. The rooms were extremely clean and the A/C systems were 100% perfect. We saw everything we were hoping to see and then some, RIGHT OUTSIDE THE ROOM!! People are so friendly and welcoming. Very helpful when it comes to navigating around. For our first time out of the country it was well worth every penny we spent. Jungle Creek truly has everything you need for the whole trip. Close to the beaches... Close to town... You will not regret staying here. The recommendations by the guys were on point! Thank you guys again for helping us have the best vacation yet! It will be something we remember for the rest of our lives! So if you wanna see monkeys, sloths, black squirrels, lizards, iguanas, etc... Jungle Creek is the place to be! Just incredible...

Room Tip: Cant go wrong with anything- place is great!

“An over-the-top experience in Costa Rica”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 9, 2012

Seventeen of us spent a two-week trip of a life-time in Costa Rica, based out of Jungle Creek. The pool was great for the kids (2 three-year olds and a seven-year old) and the main house was a great gathering place for the entire group. Each family group had their own space, yet could gather under the canopy near the pool. We prepared many of our meals together, as it was easy to access the grocery stores and market. Restaurants were handy for our celebrations (retirement, birthday, Father's Day and two anniversaries) and the proximity of Quepos and Manuel Antonio (not to mention the $.50 bus ride) made the trip more fun. Jeff and Carolina, the house managers, were knowledgeable and helpful in suggesting activities and locations to visit and made many of the reservations for us! The memories created were unbelievable and we look forward to repeating this experience! Pura Vida!

“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.
