I experienced it as a paradise! You can even see more animals than in the national park itself. We had miles of beach to walk, enjoying the beauty of how the jungle merges with the sea. We came across a lot of wildlife just by getting out of bed. We could see sunrises from our heads resting on the pillow. It was going out on the trails (well marked and maintained) of Silvi and looking at the trees with 4 species of monkeys living together in perfect harmony. It's a place that really touched my soul. I felt small and cried with emotion more than once seeing the simplicity and magic of nature. Silvi really has a piece of paradise on earth, and as a person, she is excellent. Always super attentive and willing to help in any way. We will definitely be back. We left wanting to stay 🥹❤️

We really enjoyed the 4 monkeys. It's a beautiful, comfortable and impeccable place. We were lucky enough to see 3 kinds of monkeys including the famous spider monkey thanks to Silvina and she showed us cicadas in transformation it was great. It's like a mini Corcovado Park 😀 We saw a lot of birds, including the famous bright red macaws. The tents are tastefully decorated and very comfortable, the best mattresses and pillows in Costa Rica. Kitchen sharing top quality and beautiful design. In addition, it is always clean thanks to the work of the entire Silvina team. It was a great time, we recommend you to live this unique luxury glamping experience. Thank you all for your hard work to make this place magical 😄 In addition we had the chance to go on an amazing beach hike with Rufus, Fioana and Ozzy.

What an amazing experience! This place is truly paradise. Guests have their own bungalows to sleep in - only a moment’s stroll from the beach. There is a community area with a beautiful and well-stocked kitchen and the overall vibe is so peaceful and communal. We saw abundant wildlife - numerous monkeys, macaws and other exotic birds. Truly the most memorable experience we’ve had in Costa Rica!

This place has a magical sweetness to it and is a great value. Highly recommend! The communal kitchen and dining allow for guests to be social, but it’s also not forced, which is nice. (Be sure to bring food for your entire stay. You get a shelf in a fridge and a plastic bin for other food items.) We saw a lot of wildlife just sitting and walking around the property. Every day was an amazing discovery of flora and fauna. The beautiful private beach is a lovely place to walk, swim, and watch sunrises and sunsets. Hearing the ocean at night is soothing. All around, one of the best places we have stayed in Costa Rica! Go!

Beautiful area, a lot of wildlife to spot, just be aware that it can be really hot during the days in the huts and during the night, but its doable, also the beach is not really private

This was my first stay in an ecolodge and I was not disappointed. This too short stay was the highlight of my trip to Costa Rica! The place is beautiful, well maintained and full of biodiversity. The long beach invites you to morning walks and it is also possible to make small excursions in the surroundings. So... Oops! The hike in Corcovado will have to wait for next time!

Four Monkeys was absolutely amazing, it is even more beautiful than in the photos and Silvina was a wonderful and warm-hearted host - all the instructions were clear how to get to the place, everything worked perfectly and she even took time to watch the monkeys with us and tell about the area <3. Being immersed in the nature is a very special experience, we saw so many birds and animals just while staying at Four Monkeys. There are also many opportunities for excursions and activities if one is interested in doing that. If you visit Costa Rica you should definitely visit Four Monkeys!
