Detailed Reviews
We have stayed here year after year, and it was so great to be back in 2022. Why choose this hotel ? It is steps from the National Park so you hear and see wildlife everyday and you can easily go to the Park for multiple days. They sell tours and tickets right at the front desk. The location is amazing, but the staff are even more amazing. Ronny is the heart of the hotel and makes you feel like family and is around every afternoon and evening and working tours each morning. Arron will find just the right tour or guide for you. Alan and Damien will greet you each morning and deliver a wonderful breakfast to your table and answer any questions you may have during the day. Ube and Max are cooking/cleaning experts, as they start int he Kitchen preparing breakfast at 6am each day and then cleans all the rooms and serve you with great JOY. If you want to see nature, relax by the pool, hang at the beach or take a tour in the area, this is a great place to call home during your vacation. It is not a "Resort", but it is clean, comfortable, the AC keeps you cool, and it is very quiet at night. If you are looking for an authentic Costa Rican experience and a chance to get to know some great local people that care that you have an enjoyable stay....this is the place for you. It is Pura Vida. We cannot wait to go back and miss our Costa Rican family already.

Room Tip: We Love Number 2 with a Pool View

La Posada Jungle Hotel is not fancy, but it is charming and fun! We stayed at Casa Ara Macaw- a two bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with a large front porch overlooking the pool. The apartment also had a nice kitchen stocked with pots, pans, dishes, a microwave, and large refrigerator. The pool and courtyard were visited by monkeys, raccoons, a Jesus Christ lizard, and a lot of birds during our stay. The national park is next door to the hotel, and the animals and birds are right on the hotel’s doorstep. Best of all is the staff - Rony and the rest of the employees made our stay so enjoyable! They helped us arrange a guide and tickets to the park. The beach is a quick walk from the hotel, and there are several good restaurants in walking distance.

Room Tip: The park is closed on Tuesday. The free beach is just as lovely as the beach in the park.

This park is literally a 30 second walk from the gate to Manuel Antonio National Park. Parking is tricky, but the staff were very helpful in finding a spot for us. One of the air conditioners in the room was broken initially but they promptly dispatched a repairperson who fixed it within 1 hour.
We got the larger family room. Being literally in a jungle, we found frogs, monkeys (white faced and squirrel), iguanas and lizards outside our room and in the hotel grounds. I don't disagree with some of the other reviews that said the unit decor is slightly dated and could use a refresh, but the location is perfect and we enjoyed staying here.

We called prior, and made sure the rooms had AC, and a safe as advertised. This was confirmed by Darian Sr. We requested a first floor room with two beds as one member of our group is mobility impaired. The parking in the alley is frightening at best. When we arrived, we were shown a room that was painfully hot and very musty. When we turned the AC on, a mildew stench started filling the room. When we searched for a safe, there was none. There were no towels in the room at all. We went to the front desk, and they provided some raggedy mismatched towels. They also told us all the room safes had been removed that very day, but the employees would be glad to hold our valuables for us in the office. I simply don't like being lied to. We demanded an immediate refund of our cash because of the insane mildew and lack of a safe as promised. We stayed across the street at the Bada for not much more money, we got a fantastic room with a safe.

I know we will keep having lovely guests that will love our hotel style surounded of nature and that when there is something missing in room they will ask for that, and will not make big dramas.

I stayed at La Posada for three nights in February 2022, and was extremely impressed with the way that Ronny and his team takes care of every guest. I can't recall another hotel with such great customer service or such helpful staff. Breakfast was delicious, Ronny made sure my car was parked safely throughout my stay, my room was basic but spacious and clean, and the big attraction is that the hotel is right next to the park entrance and is visited by capuchin monkeys during breakfast. Monkeys were climbing directly over my head, jumping from tree to tree, and walking along the strings of lights decorating the patio. There is also a direct path from the hotel to the beach. I also booked my Manuel Antonio National Park tour through Ronny's company and it was excellent. Highly, highly recommend!

Great Location: At the entrance of the National Park. Walk to the beach, restaurants and gift shops.
Rooms: The rooms are as described on the website. Rooms downstairs are spacious, clean, bright and comfortable with outdoor seating in the garden. Rooms upstairs are larger, new with beautiful wood floors, and lots of storage space, balcony and a private patio.
Water pressure, air conditioning and Wifi very good. Breakfast at the hotel is very affordable, if it's not on the menu just ask and they will try to accommodate you. They make the most delicious beef soup for lunch.
Pool: Although we didn't use it because we went to the beach everyday, we saw other families enjoying the pool which is in the garden.
Hosts: Rony booked our friendly guide (Esteban) to the park and recommended the best restaurants in town. He also made our appointment for the covid test. Rony and Carlos were very helpful in providing everything that we needed to feel comfortable, including umbrellas (it was rainy season) and beach towels. They went above and beyond to provide excellent accommodations and we had a wonderful time in a family atmosphere.
I recommend La Posada for the excellent service, great location and the friendly family atmosphere that they create right next to the jungle!
I am using this opportunity to say Thanks to Rony, Carlos and everyone at La Posada for making our trip to Costa Rica one that we will always remember.
Pura Vida

We are repeat guest and have spent many nights in Room #2, and always depart rested and restored. For first timers , it is a lot like what we call “glamming in the USA”. You have AC, a bed, a shower and the focus is on nature and people. Our porch faced the National Park and we saw monkeys, Toucans, deer, and birds daily. The plunge pool is refreshing in the afternoon while communing with other guest and a great place to watch for wildlife. It is quiet and peaceful at night and you awake to the howler monkeys roar each morning. Ubea , the cook and housekeeper, is amazing… she cooks breakfast for all each morning and then cleans all 13 rooms herself…. Amazing. Damien Jr (not Damien the manager) runs the office in the morning and Ronny in the evening and they do a great job checking guest in and out, and advises on anything you need. Ronny has an awesome welcoming personality and made us feel right at home. Aaron and Andy work the tour desk and can take care of all your tour needs. Damien , the manager, was around many morning and he and Andy are like family….. they will provide any help you need. Oh and Maxwell fills in to help on days needed and.when he does he cleans everything in site….and is so joyful hope to see him become part of the full time staff. We had an awesome visit, and cherished the time away. We will miss the cooked to order breakfast each day, the wildlife, the people and the peace, as we return home.

The people attending us were very friendly and location is the best you can get next to the National park gates. But unfortunately that is the only good about La Posada. It was not what we expected. We did not get the room (Villa) we had booked. Instead we were kindly offered two other rooms, one of which had a "fully equipped" kitchen. Unfortunately not well equipped at all, with lots of veryyyy old and overused utensils (this is an understatement), apart from lacking. Just overall the place was not clean and felt run down. I am sure with some effort this could be a great place, but at the moment it is not a place I can recommend.

La Posada Jungle hotel is literally steps from the gate to the national park and a 2 min walk to the free public beach. We rented the house and it was spacious - 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room area and sunroom. The housekeeping staff kept it clean every day. Highly recommend it - great value for the amount of space. Once you enter the hotel it feels like a little oasis- the pool is surrounded by beautiful trees. We saw monkeys and iguana outside our room. Erik and Rony at the front desk are really nice and helpful. Always smiling and helpful. My family really enjoyed our stay and our first stop during our first trip to Costa Rica. Pura vida!

A huge shout-out to Rony, who was so welcoming, generous and friendly to us from the moment we arrived. We were celebrating our recent engagement, and on arrival Rony upgraded us to a much better room , and provided us with wine and lovely decorations in our room, completely free of charge. What a welcome! The second floor room was lovely and spacious, excellent value for money. The air con worked really well and the room was kept spotless by the cleaning staff. Whilst having a dip in the pool we were lucky to see a huge 'jesus lizard' run past! The hotel itself backs onto Manuel Antonio National Park, and is bustling with wildlife in the plants and gardens. We happened to see deer, capuchins, howler monkeys, lizards and so much more without even having to leave the hotel.
You are able to book exciting excursions through the hotel desk, such as mangrove kayaking and national park guides (both highly recommended). A generous breakfast is included free of charge too, and the staff serving are all so friendly. Would love to come back one day - this truly was an incredible start to our 2 week trip to Costa Rica. Thank you so much to Rony and the other staff for making our stay so special. Carla and Matt :)
