Great stay off the beatin path of downtown. Loved the spot, quick walk to town and to the beach but felt secluded enough to find some r & r.

We had a great stay at Amy's wonderful hidden jungle house. We especially enjoyed cooking in the well organised and equipped kitchen. You can also hang out really nicely in the garden or on the sofas in the common areas. Amy is a great host, she's really kind, always willing to help and responded super fast to our messages.

Very good stay at Amy's, the environment of the room is great, quiet while being close to the center of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca ... We were able to see monkeys and sloths every morning from the balcony ...

We had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly kind and helpful, making everything so easy for us. The place looks exactly like the photos—surrounded by lush plants, with beautifully hand-painted walls and so much charm. The bed was a bit worn but still comfortable, and while the mosquito net could be improved, we had very few mosquitoes. The balcony overlooking nature was a highlight—we spotted sloths, monkeys, squirrels, agoutis, and hummingbirds! We love this place! The location is fantastic, just a few meters from the black sand beach. The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped, though it could have been a bit cleaner. The thin walls make it a bit noisy, but we were lucky to have quiet neighbors. Overall, a magical place full of nature and beauty. Highly recommended!!!! Thank you so much for everything !!!
