My family and I absolutely loved every bit of what your home had to offer. The house is in a perfect location close to Jaco, with a convenient mini market right at the base of the driveway and easy access from the SJO airport compared to many other Airbnbs. The home was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed with a luxurious yet cozy feel. The property felt incredibly safe and private, surrounded by nature, and we even had families of monkeys visit us and enjoy some fruit we shared. Laura was amazing and went above and beyond to make our stay seamless. She helped us arrange private drivers, in-home massages, and local excursions. Her attentiveness made a huge difference in our experience. We truly appreciate all the effort that went into helping us have the best vacation possible. We would love to return one day and highly recommend this home.

Matthew was a great host! Very responsive and beautiful surroundings. The monkeys come out in the morning; we saw a cool lizard and you can hear plenty of birds. The top floor of the house/terrace you get a view where you can see the mountains and rainforest. The pool was awesome and refreshing. Overall, great stay. we would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone else coming here.

🌴🌺🍍🐠🦜🍹🏝️🍋🟩🦩🥭🏖️ Staying at The Jungle Palace was an absolute blast! The place is huge, super private, and surrounded by jungle, so it really feels like your own paradise. The house itself is gorgeous with tons of space for everyone, but the real stars of the show were the monkeys 🐒🐒🐒. At first we thought the listing photos showing monkeys had to be exaggerated, but nope—they were everywhere! We even got to feed them, which was such a cool and unforgettable experience. Every morning felt like an adventure just stepping outside. On top of that, the property had everything we needed and was really well kept. Big shoutout to Laura, the manager—she was amazing, super responsive, and made everything easy for us from start to finish. Matthew and the team really set up something special here. If you’re looking for a fun, unique, and wild place to stay near Jacó, this is it! We’ll be back soon!! ♥️

We had a beautiful family trip and truly enjoyed our time at this home in Costa Rica. The house itself is just as pictured—spacious, uniquely designed, and set in a stunning, serene rainforest environment. We especially appreciated the peaceful location and the natural surroundings. That said, there were a few cleanliness issues that made the stay feel a bit less polished than expected. The pool was quite dirty and didn’t appear to have been cleaned recently, and many parts of the exterior could use a thorough power wash. Inside, we noticed dusty faux plants in the bathrooms that clearly hadn’t been cleaned, which took away from the otherwise beautiful interior. On a brighter note, Laura, the concierge, was very helpful and arranged an in-house massage that was absolutely divine—one of the highlights of our trip! Overall, we had a great time and loved the setting and the layout of the house. With a little more attention to deep cleaning and upkeep, this place could easily be great

This was the absolute perfect home base to explore this part of Costa Rica. The house was stunning, exactly like photos and descriptions. Pool area was an unbeatable oasis and we did get lots of monkey visits! Comfortable beds, amazing bathrooms with great water temp and pressure, stocked kitchen and awesome patio space for meals and hangouts. Corner store literally at the end of our driveway was so convenient. Laura the concierge was amazing, so responsive, helpful friendly! I couldn’t be happier with the experience and will be recommending Matthew’s place to anyone I know visiting the area. I would absolutely stay here again and hope I’m able to return soon!

This place was a gem. It felt like we had a concierge on speed dial — every question, ride, activity, or last-minute request was answered like magic. Woke up every morning to the sound of nature and unreal views — not a bad way to start the day. The house was tucked just far enough from the beach to feel private, but close enough that getting there was a 2-minute breeze. Spotless, well-designed, and just had a great vibe. Would 1000% come back — already missing it.
