“So amazing, awesome people, and amazing for our honeymoon!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 11, 2012

The rooms are fantastic and feel like home. The location couldn't be better there were sloths and monkeys coming through the canopies daily and it was a beautiful place. We even forgot a very expensive straightener in our room and Paula and Clark were kind enough to have it sent back to us. Overall it was a great experience and a great honeymoon. I'm so glad we had friends who had been and were nice enough to recommend jungle creek to us and we can't wait to get back. Check it out it out yourself, jungle creek is Costa Rica at its best.

“Would definitely come back again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 18, 2012

My son and I stayed there for 3 nights and enjoyed ourselves immensely! The owners are very warm, fun, hospitable people! I felt as though we were old friends! My son and I stayed in the 1 bedroom studio, which was very spacious- to my surprise. The pictures on the web do not do this place justice! It is nestled in a quiet and private road perfectly situated between Quepos and Manuel Antonio - both easily accessed by the public bus just a short walk away. The grounds and the room were immaculate! But most of all, it is very family/kid friendly :^) I have already recommended this place to my other family members and look forward to staying here again in the future!

“Great place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 15, 2012

Our family recently spent five nights at Jungle Creek. What a great place to stay and explore the area! We had one of the two-bedroom units and it was just like being at home, furnished with everything you would possibly need and very comfortable. It offers a convenient location to either go to Quepos or further down to multiple restaurants, shops and Manuel Antonio National Park. Just a short walk to a bus stop on the main road or easy taxi pick-up. One day while waiting for the bus, about fifty squirrel monkeys (titi monkeys) crossed over the main road on a blue rope that was put there for their crossing conveneince. What an amazing sight ot see! Lots of birds and things to see on the property also -beautifully landscaped, with a creek running through and a nice pool to cool down in. The owners are terrific and very hospitable -they arranged our transportation transfers and also our guided day trips to Manuel Antonio Park and Damas Island Mangrove (lots of white-face monkeys). I would definitely recommend Jungle Creek to anyone looking for a great time with the comforts of home, but in a total jungle setting. Pura Vida!

“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!
