what an unbelievable trip. Amy was an amazing host and I could not have picked a better place for my stay. I will be back for sure! Thank you so much Amy

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.

Super nice location, beach is very close, was a great stay, we would definitely come back

Super schöne Lage strand ist sehr nah, war ein super Aufenthalt wir würden aufjedenfall zurückkommen

Amy was very friendly and cordial at her reception, a very quiet and rural place perfect for resting and being able to connect with the beaches and tourist plans of the area.

Amy fue muy amigable y cordial en su recepción, un lugar muy tranquilo y campestre perfecto para descansar y poder conectar con las playas y planes turísticos de la zona.

it was nice to be here, quiet, you hear the sea and you are in the jungle

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 ...

Très bon séjour chez Amy, l'environnement de la chambre est super, au calme tout en étant à proximité du centre de Puerto Viejo de Talamanca ... Nous avons pu voir des singes et des paresseux tous les matins depuis le balcon ...

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 !!!

Nice and cosy place with a wonderful host

Nice and friendly place, in a colorful environment with ditto people. Only had to get used to the sound of the wave, but that was MY PROBLEM🥴

Leuke en vriendelijke plek, in een kleurrijke omgeving met dito mensen. Moest alleen wennen aan het geluid van de golfslag, maar dat was MIJN probleem🥴

Amy is very friendly! Very helpful, they have a basket to help the dogs and kittens in the area. Which I found very nice in support of the community. The place is very clean and a very nice environment. I would stay there again in the future.

Amy es muy amable! Muy servicial, tienen una canasta para ayudar a los perritos y gatitos de la zona. Lo cual me pareció muy lindo como apoyo a la comunidad. El lugar está muy limpio y es un ambiente muy agradable. En un futuro volvería a quedarme ahí.

Amy was available throughout the stay, her house is close to the beach and close to the jungle it is an authentic experience to live!

Amy s’est montrée disponible tout au long du séjour, sa maison se situe à proximité de la plage et proche de la jungle c’est une expérience authentique à vivre !

Convenient accommodation if you like to be isolated from the activity of the city while staying close to the center. It's a perfect place to have a quiet breakfast and sleep peacefully, the beach is a stone's throw away.

Logement pratique si vous aimez être isolé de l'activité de la ville tout en restant proche du centre. C'est un lieu parfait pour prendre son petit déjeuner au calme et dormir paisiblement, la plage est à deux pas.

Don't hesitate! Amy's place is across the sea, in a quiet and colorful environment! Amy is very nice and gives some great tips!

N'hésitez pas! Le logement d'Amy est en face de la mer, dans un environnement calme et coloré ! Amy est très gentille et donne de très bons conseils!

Amy was delightful, as were the other guests. Easy walk to town, very close to the beach. The fan was a lifesaver.

It's always a great pleasure to stay with Amy. She is a fabulous host and the place is perfect, peaceful, surrounded by nature and still close to everything on foot or by bike. Fall asleep to waves and birds is a must! Thanks Amy 💚

C'est toujours un immense plaisir de séjourner chez Amy. C'est une fabuleuse hôte et l'endroit est parfait, paisible, en pleine nature et tout de même à proximité de tout à pied ou en vélo. S'endormir au son des vagues et des oiseaux est un must! Merci Amy 💚

Amy’s guest house was lovely, really relaxed and a lovely location. Amy was a great host snd really helpful 😊

It was a wonderful experience and Amy was very patient!Help us answer questions about traveling and save our suitcases!The room is very clean, the location is very close to the city! Recommended!

非常完美的体验，Amy很有耐心！帮我们解答关于旅游的问题，帮助我们保存行李箱！房间很干净，位置距离市区很近！推荐！

Amy is a very friendly and helpful host. The location is very good, with a short walking distance to the center of town with supermarkets, restaurants and everything. Internet is super as well, could do a couple of work calls from there without any problems. The price is overall good in comparison to other accommodation in CR. That being said, I feel the accommodation has seen better days and could really use an exchange of things in the rooms and in the kitchen here and there. Some things seem like they have been there from day 1. Especially the mattress in room 4 needs to retire.

I loved this place so much that I extended my stay several times and decided to stay until the end of my trip. Amy's house is so welcoming, so colorful, quiet. A distance from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still ready and a 5-minute walk to a sublime beach. The house is in the middle of nature, falling asleep to the sound of the waves and waking up to the sound of birds and monkeys. Everything is clean and quiet. The guests who come here are all respectful and rewarding. Beautiful encounters! The place is very pleasant to stay for short or long periods. The internet works perfectly for work or otherwise. There is all the comforts you need. Amy even offers bikes to rent which is very convenient to get around. It also offers guided tours of the medicinal plants in her garden. She is a hyper-responsive host and a very friendly person! Living here is a dream. I'll be back!

J'ai tellement aimé cet endroit que j'ai prolongé plusieurs fois mon séjour et décidé de rester jusqu'à la fin de mon voyage. La maison de Amy est si acceuillante, si colorée et calme. A distance de l'agitation de la ville, mais en restant tout prêt et à 5 minutes à pied d'une sublime plage. La maison est en pleine nature, on s'endort au bruit des vagues et on se réveille au bruit des oiseaux et des singes. Tout est propre et calme. Les voyageurs qui viennent ici sont tous respecteux et enrichissant. Que de belles rencontres! L'endroit est très agréable à vivre pour de courtes ou de longues périodes. Internet fonctionne parfaitement pour travailler ou autre. Il ya tout le confort necessaire. Amy propose même des vélos à la location ce qui est très pratique pour se déplacer aux alentours. Elle propose aussi des visites guidées des plantes médicinales de son jardin. C'est une hôte hyper réactive et une personne très sympathique! Vivre ici est un rêve. Je reviendrai!

I enjoyed my second stay of the year (2 weeks) and look forward to returning for a month in October. Everything is as described it was like I never left. The housekeeper is there often so even though it's open air everything is as clean and tidy as can be. Amy is always available to help the guests. I like the balcony the best in this room vs the 2 other I stayed in. I did see one sloth and spent a few hours watching the howler monkeys that took up the trees behind the house. fast wifi as described so easy to work. close to town but far enough away. playa negra was the calmest beach in the area. normally I rent a bike and ride to Playa Chaquita which was a mixed bag. I still recommend it over Punta Uva which gets really crowded. Bike is better than walking as you need the breeze as it's super hot out during the day.

Beautiful place and super nice hostess . We will remember the house and surroundings and will miss the monkeys that woke us up in the morning ☺️

Wunderschöne Unterkunft und super nette Gastgeberin . Wir werden das Haus und die Umgebung in Erinnerung behalten und werden die Affen vermissen die uns morgens geweckt haben ☺️

Amy is an excellent hostess, the property is really nice, very close to town and beach.

So nice to stay in the jungle and yet so cole to town! We saw a lot of animals, birds, spiders, aguti, crabs, racoon and sloths. the kitchen was fully equipped and we rented bikes. Rooms are small but nice for a good price!

Amazing, experience, Amy is just amazing host and Amazing beautiful person❤love it

Amy was a wonderful hostess! She’s very friendly, loves to chat about the area and  is very helpful with any questions you have. The place is quaint, clean, quiet and colorful with plenty of shared spaces to hang out. The setting in the jungle is amazing because you can hear and see a lot of wildlife like sloths, monkeys and colorful birds. Its right across the street from the black sand beach and only a five minute walk to town. I would definitely stay here again!

quiet place in the middle of greenery  . Close to town on foot and beaches  . Well-equipped shared kitchen.

endroit tranquille au milieu de la verdure  . proche de la ville à pied et des plages  . cuisine commune bien équipée  .

Amy is super nice and hospitable. You'll be warmly welcomed by three dogs and a cat. The property is somewhat hidden (therefore the name) in a quiet location, yet within easy walking distance. A small paradise with a gorgeous garden. The room was as described in the pictures. Towels, fan and mosquito net were provided. I can watch a sloth climbing from the balcony. A recommendation for those who want to experience something special.

Amy ist super nett und gastfreundlich. Man wird von drei Hunden und einer Katze freundlich empfangen. Die Unterkunft liegt etwas versteckt (daher der Name) in ruhiger Lage, dennoch gut zu Fuß erreichbar. Ein kleines Paradies mit wunderschönem Garten. Das Zimmer war wie auf den Bilder beschrieben. Handtücher, Ventilator und Moskitonetz waren vorhanden. Vom Balkon aus konne ich einem Faultier beim klettern zuschauen. Eine Empfehlung für alle, die mal was besonderes erleben wollen.

We loved staying in Amy‘s house. It is very colourful and the place is full of life… Beautiful gardens and cute animals. The communication with Amy was very good.

quiet location in the countryside, restaurants within walking distance, sea noise & jungle sounds, Amy is a great hostess and very friendly, unfortunately the bed was very small (2pax), the room smaller than expected, the house is extremely poorly soundproof and the mosquito nets unfortunately all full of holes - therefore points deductions.

ruhige Lage im grünen, Restaurants zu fuß erreichbar, Meeresrauschen & Dschungelgeräusche, Amy ist eine tolle Gastgeberin und sehr freundlich, leider war das Bett sehr klein (2pax), das Zimmer kleiner als erwartet, das Haus ist extrem hellhörig und die Mosquitonetze leider alle voller Löcher - daher Punkteabzüge.

Amy was a delight as a hostess! She was easy to communicate with, friendly, informative, and had fresh eggs from the chickens for sale in the mornings. The place was beautiful and felt tucked away in the jungle while being easy walking/biking distance from town. The guest house was comfortable, well equipped, and very cute! The rooms were private and I had my own balcony where I could hear the waves crashing on Playa Negra. I didn't mind being able to hear other guests occasionally, and the shared kitchen and bathrooms were never a problem for me, but those are things to consider depending on the level of privacy you want. I also really enjoyed having the dogs, chickens, and cat around. The whole place had a relaxed, homey vibe. I would love to stay here next time I visit!

Great location, we had seen sloths from our balcony. What more could you ask for.

Everything you could want in remote working destination. Close to the beach, ability to ride bikes and a nice balcony to get some sun in. Amy was extremely attentive and helpful at every point.

Amy was an amazing hosts who was very understanding and helpful when we had a difficult travel to Puerto Viejo. The place was great and you’re surrounded by animals and jungle.

Great location,  close to beach and amenities.  Shared common space. Great for single travelers.

We loved our stay with Amy! Our room had a balkony with a perfekt view into the jungle where we saw hummingbirds, beautiful butterfly’s and a sloth. Amy was super helpful by planning our days. The hostels garden is beautiful and very enjoyable with dogs, cats and chickens

The hidden jungle beach house is a fantastic place to stay! It is private and very safe on a little farm with chickens, lovely cats and dogs. Amy is a super friendly and helpful host and you can tell she puts her heart in it, especially with having all these marvelously painted walls and the kitchen area below. The place is very connected to nature but also in quick walking distance to beach+PV downtown. I would stay here anytime again, highly recommended :-) Thank you!

Very lovely host. Communication was easy. Accomodation is located very well. Everything is near by, its not in the center, but right at the beautiful Playa Negra. We saw a sloth from our balcony, which was a highlight on top.

Awesome place (made great friends and felt right at home) and great host (relaxed and friendly and very helpful). Would recommend 100%! Perfect location. Small rooms but super spacious living in all the wonderful common areas. 10/10

Amy is super nice and helps you with everything. It’s a bit outside of town but still pretty close.

Amy was so helpful from the beginning. My room was very special with its balcony and I saw several sloths from there. The town was a short walk so good location. Thanks Amy for all the local tips.

Amy is extremely accommodating! Wonderful, peaceful place few minutes wAlk from Playa negra and puerto viejo town. If and when back will stay again!

Great little place just on the outskirts of Puerto Viejo. Super easy walk into town, maybe 5 or 6 minutes. Waking up to the sound of waves crashing at the nearby beach was my favorite part. Amy was super helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend Amy’s place.

You just have to love Amy's house. The rooms are small but very nicely designed. The highlight was the balcony from which we saw directly in the jungle. We were even able to watch a sloth right next to the balcony. The kitchen is very well furnished and on foot you are in 5 minutes in the center. Surrounded to ask Amy where there is the best Carribbean chicken in Puerto Viejo;) it was a dream to be a dream to be

Amys Haus muss man einfach lieben. Die Zimmer sind klein aber sehr schön gestaltet. Das Highlight war der Balkon, von welchem aus wir direkt in den Dschungel sahen. Wir haben sogar ein Faultier direkt neben dem Balkon beobachten können. Die Küche ist sehr gut eingerichtet und zu Fuss ist man in 5 Min im Zentrum. Umbedingt Amy fragen wo es in Puerto Viejo das beste Carribbean Chicken gibt ;) es war ein Traum

+ comfortable bed + well-equipped shared kitchen + Beach within walking distance + own small balcony - small rooms and bathroom - Kitchen is open to the outside and ground level and not easy to keep clean - at night you should take a taxi to the accommodation, as it is located about 400m outside Puerto Viejo

+ gemütliches Bett + gut ausgestattete Gemeinschaftsküche + Strand gut zu Fuß erreichbar + eigener kleiner Balkon - kleine Zimmer und Bad - Küche ist nach draußen offen und ebenerdig und nicht einfach sauber zu halten - nachts sollte man ein Taxi zur Unterkunft nehmen, da sie etwa 400m außerhalb Puerto Viejo liegt

Loved the place! You can hear the ocean for the room most of the times, the balcony was perfect and the place was close to everything. Definitely recommend staying here if you travel to puerto viejo. My favorite part was the animals in the house, specially the 3 dogs they had! For sure coming back to this place every time we visit puerto viejo. Thank you!! :)

nice house and I loved my purple room. Amy  is a great host and there when you need her. The communication was super easy and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures. Would absolutely recommend to stay there! thank you Amy!

Such a beautiful place! I loved the doggies and the cat ❤️ the place was super clean and silent, you can hear the beach and the forest from your room. The kitchen is fully equipped (the pans could be better tho), the water pressure is not that good but it does the job 😄 I loved everything! I truly recommend this place.

Great host, really helpful and friendly! Lovely place 3’ walk from the center, there is a place to park in front of the house. Safe place in the middle of the Forrest with lovely animals !

I highly suggest this place for solo travelers! I loved having my room with the private balcony. The location is excellent, so close to town walking. I LOVE the animals on the property so much. It’s a hostel feel but with more privacy and few people, so it was perfect for me. The art inside the home is so beautiful. Amy is the best host ever, literally! So attentive, offered me early check in because the other guests left early and was just overall so sweet to connect with. It’s a great price for puerto viejo. Would stay again!

The jungle house was amazing. Nicely secured and the rooms spacious enough for two. All the shared areas where always clean and all the guests staying there helped to pass the time. Made some life long friends here. Thanks again Amy

I cannot imagine a more pleasant, helpful, and accommodating host than Amy at Hidden Jungle Beach Resort. Her communication was top-notch and timely and she provided great local information. It's not glamorous but very comfortable, and it was perfect for me and has all the necessities and then some. Lots of common group meeting area. Met other travelers and bonded with them quickly. Highly recommend it.

Amy’s place is very cool. Everything is really colourful, the bed is comfortable and clean. The balcony really is in the jungle :) we saw a few birds and crabs. The room is on the first floor and a shared toilet next to it. Shower and kitchen is downstairs. The shower is great. There is a cat, dogs and chicken on the property. Amy is very nice and welcoming. Also very good location.

Loved it, everything was clean, all the details are

Es hat uns suoer gefallen, alles sauber, alle Angaben treffen zu

Staying at the hidden jungle was such an amazing experience. Amy made the process so easy and she kept in touch with me prior to me getting there. Upon arrival, she gave me a tour of the beautiful property and advised on recommendations for activities around PV. She also helped me with COVID testing information/ contacts before I moved onto Panama. Each guest had space to put their belongings in the refrigerator, cabinet and bathroom! Hearing both the jungle and ocean  waves from Amy’s place was so relaxing and I can’t wait to come back. Much love from California— thanks again for being so accommodating Amy!

My stay couldn't at Amy's have been better. I'm not surprised about all these amazing reviews. It's super clean, comfortable and charming authentic jungle house, with view on the most beautiful jungle and little animals. 2 minute walk to the beautiful black beach which almost feels like a private beach, 5 min walk to town/supermarket. You can hear the waves from your bed, the monkeys and birds doing their thing - it's amazing. And Amy is literally the best host I've ever had on Airbnb. Helps you immediately with anything, makes sure you're safe, not ripped off, answers any question you have and she's just generally great company. I loved her pets (3 dogs, 1 cat, chickens) - they make it extra homey. 10/10 experience.

Beautiful place surrounded by lots of nature. Amy and her staff are excellent people and are always attentive to anything you need.

Amy exceeded my expectations. She gives great recommendations and helps whenever needed. My room and the overall place was clean plus as a remote worker wifi was important for me - I had no complaints. Wifi strength was great. I would stay here again!

My girlfriend and I absolutely loved this place. We met a few cool people also staying here. The house is small and cozy, with lots of personal touches and all the basics. The kitchen was big and well equipped, the garden was beautiful and well though out, and the hosts were super kind and accommodating. We weren’t in town which was nice but close enough to walk. This was my absolute favorite stay in Costa Rica because of the combination of homeliness, location, good hosts, and amenities. Thank you Amy!!

If you are looking for a homestay - look no further. This place is it. The balcony has a stunning view of the jungle, the room is nice and tucked in. There is an indoor common area upstairs, and outdoor common area upstairs (which was a great place to relax and also work if that's your thing). The micro farm is STUNNING! So many plants I have never heard of. Lush and green. Amy is the best AirBnB host I have had this far. This woman is extremely resourceful and generous - she will make your experience in Puerto Viejo feel like home. Also this place is a minute walk to the beach!!!!!!!!!

Amy's property is lovely! The location is just outside of town, so you have quiet surroundings while still being close to the action. The room is comfortable, and the balcony is a great addition. Lots of additional space throughout the property to hang out. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and lots of storage space. I can't say enough great things about Amy - she was so accommodating, allowing me to check in early and check out late. I had a wonderful experience and can't wait to return.

Best WiFi I’ve had in Costa Rica. The host was incredible and went above and beyond to help me out with getting travel plans and COVID testing figured out. Great place to stay in puerto viejo

A charming, quiet place where you will enjoy enjoy enjoying Puerto Viejo. A kitchen with all the necessary amenities, a bedroom with balcony and a perfect location to be quiet and, at the same time, close to the center. Amy is a host who responds with all your requests with kindness. A place I would recommend.

Un endroit charmant et calme où vous prendrez plaisir à profiter de Puerto Viejo. Une cuisine avec tout les équipements nécessaires, une chambre avec balcon et un emplacement parfait pour être au calme et, en même temps, proche du centre. Amy est une hôte qui répond à toutes vos demandes avec gentillesse. Un endroit que je recommande.

This is just an awesome place to stay at. It's a 5-minute walk from town, 3 minutes to the next beach. Everything you might need is very close by, yet it's a bit off the busy main road and center of town. The house is surrounded by the jungle, which makes for great air, lots of animals (a sloth right in front of my balcony), and a very relaxing sound backdrop. The rooms are small but very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. However, if you're extremely sensitive to sound or place a big emphasis on privacy, this might not be the place for you, due to the open layout of the house and the thin wooden walls. Lastly, Amy is a wonderful host, who takes great care of the place and is always happy to help. If I ever get back to Puerto Viejo, this is where I'll stay.

We had a terrific stay in Puerto Viejo. We wanted to stay in a normal local house and this expectation was met. Amy's amazing tips helped us to enjoy our time in the whole area. Very useful is the possibility to rent a bike. I think that it is even necessary if you want to visit various beaches.

Amy’s place is similar to a hostel in that there are shared bathrooms. The location of the property is a very short walk to the beach but the proximity of the bar can get rather loud at night. The house itself can get loud as well with the other guests moving/talking/etc. can’t beat the price for some beautiful Caribbean living tho!

Nice place, relax and calm near with a good location. Amy is a great host!!

This was my first experience using airbnb and I must say it was even better than I expected. Amy is a lovely person, she treated us very well and was always available to us. btw, her pets are adrable! :D About the place I can say that it is located very close to the center of Puerto Viejo, which is good because you don't need a car to leave home. The facilities are very comfortable and neat, in addition to providing tranquility by having a small forest next to it where you can see many types of animals such as birds and crabs. It was a very good experience and super recommended.

The private balcony room was perfect for two people! The views are beautiful, we were able to see some wildlife outside of the balcony. There are very sweet pets on the property that made our stay even better. The walk into town is about 5 minutes, she also has bikes for rent which is super helpful. Also, Amy is totally awesome! I would stay here again!

This is the place to stay if you’re in Puerto Viejo! Secluded, comfortable, and conveniently located. Not to mention, Amy is an amazing host.

Imagine this : you walk into your room, open the balcony door and first thing you see is a sloth. Just hanging there and looking at you <3 this place is really great! Thank you Amy!

Amy is dynamic and fishery. She is smiling and funny. The place is 2 steps from the beach and the city center while being quiet. A real corner of paradise.

Amy est dynamique et péchue. Elle est souriante et drôle. Le lieu est a 2 pas de la plage et du centre-ville tout en étant au calme. Un vrai coin de paradis.

Very nice!! You feel right at home! Amy is a cheerful and active person, looking forward to the guest feeling at home! Thank you so much! I'll keep it in mind for the next time!

Muy agradable!! Te sientes como en casa! Amy es una persona alegre y activa, con ganas de que el huesped se sienta como en casa! Muchas gracias!! Lo tengo en cuenta para la siguiente vez!

Amy is a really nice host! She will help you with all your questions and has great recommendations for Puerto Viejo. Moreover, the location is perfect!

We had an amazing time at Amy‘s place! When you‘re laying in your bed it just feels like a night in the rainforest. Ist is a very simple accomodation with everything you need! Very adventurous place to start our trip.

Amy is awesome and you can feel the love at this place!

Amy was so nice and the location was perfect!

It's not much to add to all the comments. Very nice place, great atmosphere. We liked it, especially the bikerental opportunity, and the lovely dogs.

Okay this place is AWESOME. It is everything you need for an effortless, perfect, relaxing get away. Super comfortable, super affordable, super fun place to be in. Amy is creative and witty and upbeat, she loves her place in Costa Rica and happiness just pours out of her. She had a solid answer for every question, and a solution for any of our problems. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a nice time. I really appreciate Amy. The house is colorful and fun but totally hidden from the livelihood of the town, right next to a crazy Beautfiul black sand beach. What more can I say? Book your stay.

Sweet & cosy place with the lovely host Amy

I had an amazing time at Amy’s Hidden Jungle Beach House!  First off, let me start by saying that Amy is a wonderful host with a beautiful spirit!  She is constantly thinking and coming up with ways to make her guest’s stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. She is very accessible, communicative and also very knowledgeable about the local town, area plants and wildlife.  I really enjoyed each of my interactions with her.  I also enjoyed my room with the personal balcony.  Relaxing, sleeping and waking to the sounds of nature was very soothing to me.  The balcony provided a tranquil space for me to directly view a variety of birds, butterflies and other wildlife.  The house has kitchen that is well equipped for preparing meals and a variety of spaces to interacted with other travelers.  What I liked most about the location is that you get the feeling of staying in a secluded tropical paradise, yet grocery stores, shops, bars and restaurants are just a short walk away.  I l truly loved staying at a location with quick access to the beach for daily sunrise and sunset walks. Another location benefit is having the MEPE bus station nearby for taking day trips at an economical cost to national nature preserves and other beaches.  I couldn’t have asked for a better location.  Amy is the best! I highly recommend the Hidden Jungle Beach House and plan to return again!

Amy was an amazing host, I absolutely loved my stay. Great location close to town, nice kitchen and adorable rooms. I would definitely stay here again!

Amy is very tender and full of energy ! They'll help with everything. Do not remove the mosquito net or you will suffer all night.

Amy es muy tierna y llena de energía ! Te ayudará con todo. No quites la red de mosquitos o sufrirás toda la noche.

Amy is more than accommodating! She helped me feel so much more comfortable while traveling alone, the space and location are great, she has all the necessary amenities, plus! Thank you Amy for being so welcoming!

Such a cute little spot! Location is perfect and the fridge and kitchen cabinets are fully stocked. WiFi was perfect and there were so many thoughtful touches such as a free phone for calls within Costa Rica, books, and beautiful decorations throughout the house. For the house itself, it's a bit smaller than we expected and we had to share the bathroom with 9 people in total which was a bit annoying in the morning. Overall good value for money but wouldn't stay here if you really want privacy.

Amy was an amazing host. Is there if you need anything and very accommodating. The property is in such a good walking distance to town, right across from the beach, near the towns only craft brewery and 10 min walk to the Mepe bus station. Stayed here 3 times and it’ll always be where I stay when I’m in PV!

Great stay good positive energy. Location perfect just far enough out of town. Amy was a great host super friendly and helpfull

A wonderful place to stay longer. The small jungle house is perfectly equipped and Amy lovingly takes care of everything. The rooms are very small and it is a space to live together. Everything is very well thought out and although we only wanted to stay three nights we extended it to six nights. Amy gives great tips and the little house is perfectly located. Only two minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from the place. Everything is within walking distance. Also the bus station. We feel very safe and would come back anytime. Cats and a small dog live at the property. A lovely place to stay and we felt in love with the first Second.

Ein wunderbarer Platz um länger zu bleiben. Das kleine Dschungelhaus ist perfekt ausgestattet und Amy kümmert sich liebevoll um alles. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein und es ist ein Raum um gemeinsam zu leben. Alles ist sehr gut durchdacht und obwohl wir nur drei Nächte bleiben wollten haben wir auf sechs Nächte verlängert. Amy gibt tolle Tipps und das kleine Haus ist perfekt gelegen. Nur zwei Minuten vom Strand entfernt und 5 Minuten vom Ort. Alles ist zu Fuß zu erreichen. Auch der Busbahnhof. Wir fühlen uns sehr sicher und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Es leben Katzen und ein kleiner Hund mit auf dem Grundstück. A lovely place to stay and we felt in love with the first Second.

Amy was a great great host, she made us fell as friends, everything was really clean and nice, we really love the view from our bed and the house is really confortable.

Angela! I loved having you and Simon stay in my home! It was easy to make you feel like friends because you are both so sweet. Please come again soon, PURA VIDA!!

Amazing place! Amy was a lovely host and the room, communal space and garden and jungle around it make it a really special place to stay

We had great time with you, Felix! Lots of fun, hope to see you around here again soon!

What a gem! From the amazing location, to the thoughtful exchanges each time we interacted, I would LOVE to stay here again. Lisa helped me to make the most of my 24 hours in the city, and I cannot wait to come back. The space was perfect!

Thank YOU for coming to stay with us Emily. You are the perfect guest!

A beautiful home steps from the black sand beach. Water was warm, rooms and communal spaces were very clean, the property felt safe and nourishing. Thanks for sharing coconuts and info with us!

You are very welcome, Matthew. Thanks for the visit!

Perfect place to feel comfortable, save and welcome to a wonderful surrounding!

Thank you for the nice review, Dr. Martina.

Very nice and quiet house, Lisa was very welcoming and available for these guests. Recommended!

Très belle maison au calme, Lisa a été très accueillante et disponible pour ces hôtes. A recommander!

Merci pour la belle critique, Marielle. Je suis très heureux que vous ayez apprécié votre séjour chez nous.

4 nights became 8 and we are grateful for it! This place is amazing, everyone who stays here stays a little bit longer, just a bit more to really get that feeling under your skin. Great hosts and a vibe that gets you good. Thankful this was our last stay in Costa Rica, it completed the trip totally with this country’s soul: Pura Vida!

Thank you so much for your very kind review. As you said, many of our guests stay for longer than they originally planned - I think probably 75% of our guests decide to stay longer. We do our best to create a home away from home for everyone.  I'm so glad you enjoyed our place.
