We stayed 4 nights at Jungle Beach Hotel from February 20-24. We loved the character of Jungle Beach, the murals and the large room. We saw 3 species of monkeys while sitting on the verandah - squirrel monkeys, howler monkeys and white-faced monkeys. The squirrel monkeys came through quickly one afternoon, a whole troop of them with mothers and babies... More

I stayed here recently, the stay was good overall. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout. The location of the hotel is excellent and is about 5 minutes walk from the public beach, 10 minutes to restaurants and 15 minutes to the national park. The hotel is one of the last properties on the road away from the beach before... More

After reading reviews on TripAdvisor I was happy to make a reservation at Jungle Beach Hotel three months in advance. When I got there,I paid $254 for three nights (85 for a night), and they gave us the room number 4. At first it didn't seem bad, but when I got to the room, I got the impression that I... More

This was a true find for us. It was inexpensive compared to everything else in Manuel ANtonio and was absolutely perfect. The breakfast was simple fruit and bread but the troop of monkeys and huge iguana that came every morning made it perfect. The A/C was nice and cold which was a nice break from the heat we had been... More

This place has several rooms overlooking a courtyard contained in beautiful greenery . Squirrel or howler Monkeys often pass through at dusk . Breakfast is simple with a resident iguana. You can buy a beer or coke at reception and get your washing done. It's a nice place to be close to beach and restaurants almost better than the park... More

The Jungle Beach Hotel is not fancy, but it had everything we needed and the price was right! Each room is decorated differently, but they have a TV, AC unit and a small refrigerator. The hotel and rooms are clean. They set out a nice little fruit, bread & beverage breakfast. One morning we had breakfast with 5 Howler Monkey’s.... More

Good room with nice beds, good shower, fridge, tv and very clean. Nicely painted! On the other side of the road is... More

I stayed here for 3 nights last month. There is a nice balcony area for viewing wildlife but unfortunately I did not see any monkeys while staying here although I did hear them in the middle of the night. I did see them in the national park though. I did see a lizard on the driveway one day. The rooms... More

We stayed here last year and couldn't wait to get back this year. I love the location, laying in bed and watching the monkeys in the trees, we love the way the rooms are painted and how clean they are. Hot water was plentiful, and breakfast sufficient before heading to the beach every day. I can't wait to go back... More
