I wanted to stay for two weeks but finally ended up spending four weeks at Funky Monkey. I enjoyed it so much, I wish I could have stayed even longer. Funky Monkey is located in Mango Street on a hill in the djungle, above the main road, which is important because there is no noise or dust compared to the... More

I stayed in the ocean view apartment - so my review might not be relevant to all travellers. I was really looking forward to this place during our winter break, seeing all the other positive reviews, but was a bit disappointed. Mainly it was simply bad value for money - I paid $120 for an ocean view apartment - which... More

We stayed at the Funky Monkey Lodge while on a surfing retreat with Chica Surf Adventures. I knew that this was going to be a different vacation than I was used to, and not to expect a 5 star resort! I was pleasantly surprised and excited about the Funky Monkey! Our room was a villa with a double bed and... More

If your'e a high maintenance traveler, this may not be the best place for you. You will be asked to conserve power and water, (god forbid!) go without air conditioning and TV, but what... More

My partner and I had a great 5 night stay at the Funky Monkey. We stayed in a bungalow and got the breakfast and dinner package. The food is amazing (thanks Juan!) We had banana pancakes and fruit every morning and really great seafood dinners every night. I will say, at breakfast we felt like we were putting the staff... More

My husband and I went to the Funky Monkey for dinner on our first night in Santa Teresa and ended up going back several times during our vacation!! Bruno and Juan make an amazing team and will give you nothing but the best when it comes to food and customer service! The chicken, tuna, and sushi were delicious and the... More

One word sums up the Funky Monkey Lodge - WOW. After reading all of the reviews here on tripadvisor I was very excited to spend my vacation at the Funky Monkey. The other reviews here about Funky Monkey Lodge had me worried that everyone may have set my expectations so high that they could not be met. Well those expectations... More
