Bungle in the Jungle - Apartments for Rent in Playa Panama, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Lisa was an amazing host. Very warm and welcoming. Upon arrival she was friendly and even baked us banana bread and had fresh cut pineapples for us. She showed us a map and recommended local areas. The rental is attached to her home, so it feels like you are renting a private section of a home with a separate exit, similar to having a neighbor. She was always friendly when we saw her. The place looks just like the photos. The room is like a studio apartment with a mini fridge, sink, coffee maker, and dishes but no kitchen. The pool area is gorgeous with an ocean view. It is a gated community on a mountaintop with security. Closest stores are in Playa Hermosa. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom is large, and the TV is about 32 inches. The shower water does not get very hot but that was fine given the climate. We did experience a significant ant issue on the final day which affected comfort. Lisa was very apologetic and mentioned the property is exterminated yearly. Thank you Lisa!

Lisa’s place was phenomenal! For the price and for the experience of staying in a Costa Rican community — five stars. Every morning I started my day taking a gorgeous neighborhood walk, saludando a los vecinos, and even playing with the neighborhood dogs! 🐶 The guards were some of the kindest people we met and at the end of our short stay it felt like we were saying goodbye to friends. We came for a wedding at El Mangroove and it was the easiest drive to and from! Plus Lisa was the kindest host we’ve ever had. Thank you Lisa and thank you Vistas del Pacifico!

We loved our stay and wish we could have stayed longer.

The place is perfect for those looking for a quiet place. 
The bed is comfortable, everything was clean and well-equipped. The solarium is great too.

The pool is even more beautiful than the pictures. 

The host is great, nice and responsive. Plus, she makes good banana bread.

Nous avons adoré notre séjour et aurions aimé y rester plus lentement. Le logement est parfait pour ceux qui cherchent un endroit tranquille. Le lit est confortable, tout était propre et bien équipé. Le solarium est super aussi. La piscine est encore plus belle que sur les photos. L’hôte est super, gentille et réactive. En plus elle fait du bon pain au banane.

I’m happy that you are happy! Please come back!

Clean, safe, comfortable bed, gorgeous  pool with view.

We loved staying in Lisa’s bungalow and shouted the pool.  We need that banana bread recipe!  🍌 highly recommend

Beautiful, well-kept complex. Everything you need, banana bread as a welcome gift in the fridge made us very happy.

Wunderschöne, gepflegte Anlage. Alles was man braucht, Bananenbrot als Willkommensgeschenk im Kühlschrank hat uns sehr gefreut.

Lisa was an absolutely amazing host, she was incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. She went above and beyond, even making us delicious homemade banana bread, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel right at home. The BnB itself was fantastic, very safe, quiet, and well-protected, which gave us great peace of mind. The views were amazing, and having access to the pool was a huge plus. Lisa also gave us access to her balcony, where we had the incredible opportunity to spot monkeys, which made the experience truly special and memorable. The space has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the overall atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or place to stay and would highly recommend this BnB to anyone visiting the area.

We stayed at Lisa's for a month and it was a great decision. Lisa herself is an outstanding host and the most friendly person. She was very attentive, accommodating and always went the extra mile. The place itself is fantastic: comfortable, safe, very private, with access to a big pool with incredible sunsets. Also, close to Playa Panamá and very good restaurants and things to do. We'll come back for sure.

Excellent place, location with a perfect view and the pool is better than what you see

Excelente lugar, ubicación con una vista perfecta y la piscina es mejor de lo que se ve

Great place, totally worth it, amazing pool view, very close to incredible beaches. Totally recommended.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lisa’s. It’s very close to Playa Panama and Playa Hermosa. It’s in a gated community and everyone we met there was very friendly! The pool is beautiful as is the surrounding area. Lisa’s instructions for finding the place were easy to follow and she was very kind and helpful during our stay, offering suggestions of places to go and eat.

my stay here was such an amazing end to my trip in costa rica.  the place is so comfortable and the pool is breathtaking.  lisa went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable.  I loved birdwatching from the porch, at the pool, and especially the drive to the property which was just lovely.  it is such a short drive to great restaurants (esp Hacienda BLU), and towns like Hermosa and Coco.  I will definitely be staying here again to visit with Lisa and make another great start or end to my guanacaste adventures.

Our first stop on our 11 day tour of Costa Rica! I love running in the mornings and it felt very calm and safe running around this neighborhood. The host was very friendly and welcomed us like family. My boyfriend (now fiancé) proposed at the pool here so you know the view is fantastic.

Great stay, Lisa is super friendly and welcoming. We stayed in the small studio not the main house and it worked good for the two nights. Kitchenette has coffee and a toaster oven no stove. Lisa left a delicious loaf of bread that was a great surprise! The community pool was great and located just across the street. You are up in the hills so you need to drive for everything. Local restaurants were good but limited budget options. Beautiful location and great host.

Lisa is a fantastic host. The pool is wonderful. You definitely need a car if you plan to stay here, it is at the top of a hill, beautiful views, but 10 minute drive to get to restaurants and the beach. Great little place that is near some great beaches and only 25 minutes to Liberia airport.

Peaceful surroundings. Good place to disconnect.

Bungle I’m the Jungle is perfect for a couple! We went to a wedding at the Secrets Resort, which was super close. The infinity pool is literally next door and has one of the most beautiful views of the ocean. Don’t overlook this place. Lisa welcomed us and made our stay super enjoyable. Everything was very clean and organized and the AC was a very nice feature for the night time.

Oh my goodness, where do I start! Ms. Lisa is everything you would ask for in a host, definitely A SUPERHOST! Everyone traveling to Costa Rica coming in at the Liberia airport, or even if you drove from San Jose airport, definitely needs to know about The Bungle in the Jungle! The scenery is authentic and majestic especially the sunset looking over the  infinity pool pictures posted on the listing DOES NOT give it justice at all! The deck/patio overlooked the jungle, very peaceful. The living space was intimate and just the right amount of space. Ms. Lisa will forever be in our hearts, she looked out for us and took us under her wings as one of her own! I'm chanting *Bungle and the Jungle* *Bungle and the Jungle* YAAS! Pura Vida!

My stay in Costa Rica was wonderful! Lisa was very responsive and her place is beautiful and so well appointed. My sister and her family were staying in a house nearby and Lisa's place was a perfect spot for me to relax and unwind. The view from the pool was beautiful and everyone was so friendly. I would definitely recommend Bungle in the Jungle and hope to return someday.

The stay with Lisa was great! She is very kind and the place is super comfortable. We like it so much!

A estádia com Lisa foi ótima! Ela é muito gentil e o espaço super confortável. Gostamos demais!

Thanks Lisa for the warm welcome, your availability, the fresh fruit and the banana bread!

Merci Lisa pour l’accueil chaleureux, ta disponibilité, les fruits frais et le pain aux bananes!

We had such a great time at Lisa's! She was so easy to chat with and gave us great recommendations and tips for exploring Costa Rica! The space was perfect, and the views are even better than the pictures. The private pool overlooking the ocean and excellent nearby restaurants really impressed!

We had the most incredible stay at Lisa’s! We were attending a wedding and were so lucky to get to stay in this gorgeous space. The apartment is so clean and cozy and the shower is so nice but the pool is next level special. Lisa was so helpful and kind and her banana bread was so good and tastes just like what my mom makes so it made me feel so at home. Thank you for opening your home to us, Lisa and Nico!

Lisa was absolutely amazing and welcomed us from the very beginning! The stay had exactly what we needed for the two nights. Plus beautiful views of the ocean from the pool!

Lisa is a very nice person, she gave us a check made by her delicious and fruits, the place is very beautiful, clean and perfect to rest. Lisa is always available to answer and help with any questions.

Lisa es una persona muy agradable, nos regalo un queque hecho por ella delicioso y frutas, el lugar muy hermoso, limpio y perfecto para descansar. Lisa esta ahí siempre disponible para contestar y se de ayuda por cualquier consulta.

We arrived easy. Lisa welcomed us happy. Her place is comfortable and has everything you need, lovingly and tastefully prepared. It is 3 km from Playa Panama, one of the best beaches in CR where hotels lost track of the value of money, so we prefer to travel 3km using the starting point and rest. Good internet. Yes, I would come back. Please bring drinks and snacks as there are no supermarkets or pharmacies in Playa Panama, I think.

Llegamos fácil. Lisa nos recibió feliz. Su lugar es cómodo y tiene lo necesario, preparado con cariño y buen gusto. Queda a 3km de Playa Panamá, una de las mejores playas de CR donde los hoteles perdieron la noción del valor del dinero, por eso preferimos viajar los 3km usando el lugar de punto de partida y descanso. Buen internet. Sí volvería. Por favor lleven bebidas y snacks ya que en Playa Panamá no hay supermercados ni farmacias, creo.

We stayed at Lisa’s house after flying into Liberia airport.   She met us at the house and was helpful with recommendations for dining and beaches.   Used the infinity pool and the view was amazing.  She made us breakfast both mornings which was very nice.   Would definitely stay here again.

Nice room and unbeatable service. Lisa was helpful at all times.

Habitación agradable y atención inmejorable. Lisa fue muy atenta en todo momento.

Excellent location and very peaceful with the casual daily monkeys visit.

Lisa’s place was excellent, quiet, relaxing, a great getaway place.  Lisa was accommodating, prepared outstanding breakfast, and offered many choices for places to enjoy the local cusine and of course, the nearby beaches.

Love the place and views Amazing place yo spent some days out of the City

omg where do I even begin?? From the moment we arrived I knew we had found an amazing place. The room was awesome, has all the amenities that you want and the Internet works great. But the best part is Lisa!! She hung out with is for a bit, we went to a yoga class with her, she gave us great recommendations, and she even prepared a little monch-monch in the morning. I arrived looking for a place to spend, and I left with a new home and a new friend. Thank you Lisa, ¡Pura Vida y Hasta Luego!

the place was clean and comfy with a beautiful view from the pool! the host was so sweet and brought me breakfast every morning. it's a bit of a drive from the main road so you'll want a car but its worth it for such a nice secluded stay. I was greeted by monkeys when I arrived along with the host!

Great, secluded location. Does not have a full kitchen, so if you plan to cook your own meals, this is not the place. BUT Lisa provided us with a simple and delicious breakfast every morning! Worth the money.

Everything about bungle in the jungle is ideal! If you are looking for a great spot in the playa Panama area Lisa’s should be at the top of your list. The unit is spotless, the pool is amazing (and uncrowded), the sunsets are out of this world and Lisa’s banana bread could definitely win an award. All an all this is what an Airbnb should be! Can’t than Lisa enough for her hospitality. I will definitely be back.

Outstanding experience. Lisa’s place was everything we could ask for and more. She went above and beyond to make sure we wanted for nothing.

Lovely place, really pretty and relaxing Great view from the pool!! Really enjoyed

Lisa’s bungle in the jungle was perfect - very clean, spectacular views, and the incredible community pool is just steps from the unit. It’s a very newly renovated unit that is peaceful and quiet. As a host, Lisa was one in a million - she was incredibly kind and welcoming to my mother, who had booked this unit due to some unforeseen circumstances. Her unit was perfect for a single woman traveling alone - there is a security booth and made my mom feel very safe. You’ll need a car if you want to go into town / restaurants. 10/10 recommend

Host are very welcoming, kind, and available. It was a huge pleasure to end our trip in their haven of peace. The pool is even more beautiful than imagined, the place is very quiet, but lively, clean and relaxing. In addition, Lisa took care of serving us a good breakfast each day, which was much appreciated. I recommend this place without hesitation, when this corner of paradise deserves to be known. Thanks again for everything.

Les hôtes sont très accueillants, gentils et disponibles. Il fut un immense plaisir de terminer notre voyage dans leur havre de paix. La piscine est encore plus belle qu'imaginé, l'endroit est très calme, mais vivant, propre et reposant. De plus, Lisa a pris soins de nous servir un bon petit déjeuner chaque jour, ce qui a été très apprécié. Je recommande cet endroit sans hésitation, alors que ce coins de paradis mérite d'être connu. Merci encore pour tout.

Perfect spot! Lisa was such a gracious host- she delivered us banana bread and fruit to our private patio each morning. Apartment had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Would stay again!

Absolutely beautiful place to stay in Playa Panama. Great wifi if you’re working remotely and traveling. GORGEOUS infinity pool overlooking the ocean. Modern and clean home space in a safe and gated community. Comfy outdoor patio area.

Lisa made me feel really welcomed! She was super helpfull and so was Nico. A car is a must in that area! But everything is at a 10-15 minute drive. The pool is a must! Absolutely loved my stay. Waze made it super easy to find the bundle!

He had a better sleep at Lisa’s place than we did at the Hilton the night before. Everything was outstanding the clean fresh towels and linens that gave us the best sleep of our entire trip. Outside sitting area comfortable clean and relaxing not to mention the spectacular pool. A great way to spend the last two days of our trip. The only reason this isn’t a five star is because we had a flight change and booked this, and was unable to extend our rental car. We got a transfer to the location only to realize there was no nearby restaurants or grocery stores we could walk to. take what you need with you and enjoy.

Lisa’s place was so cozy and perfect for the second half of our trip in Costa Rica! Easy to find and wonderfully welcoming. The banana bread and fresh fruit every morning was amazing!

Wonderful little apartment, looks like brand new, all pretty and clean, comfortable bed. Amazing pool just across the street. Highly recommended.

Spectacular Lisa and Nico, very beautiful place, we hope to return.

Lisa y Nico espectaculares, muy bello lugar, esperamos volver.

we had a fantastic time at Lisa and Nicos house. The Appartement was small, but you had everything you needed. also a small kitchen. The Pool on the other side of the street was amazing. much more amazing than we expected. Lisa and nico were really friendly and the breakfast was delicious. thanks a lot

Had an excellent stay here for the weekend, the view from the pool was spectacular and was located within 10-15 mins of the beaches and restaurants. The area felt very safe and the hosts were extremely friendly and had great suggestions on things to do.

Lisa and Nico were great hosts.  The apartment has everything a single traveler or couple would need.  Directly across the street is a large pool with an amazing view of the Papagayo Peninsula.  Close to some good beaches and restaurants in Playa Panama and Playa Hermosa.

My visit to Lisa’s place was nothing short of amazing! The pictures are exact but also show no justice. Lisa and Nico made me feel very welcome especially with me traveling alone. The place was very clean and they also provided breakfast every morning. Nico even took me into town where I wanted and needed to go and introduced me to the locals and made sure I was taken care of while I was away from him and Lisa. They really made me feel at home! I’ll def be back to visit them again!!

Lisa’s place is impeccable and better than the pictures show. Super comfortable, conveniently located. The pool has an amazing view of the bay + the sunset, and it sits literally across the street from the place, couldn’t have asked for more. She was very hospitable and had great recommendations.

Very comfortable place, excellent to rest. Very friendly.

Lugar muy cómodo, excelente para descansar. Muy amables.

You can expect a world class experience here with Lisa and Nico! I felt so welcomed and comfortable while staying at their place. The room had everything I needed and the location was perfect. Not to forget, the views from the pool were to die for !!! Truly an awesome place to stay. Also, Nico provided me with rides anywhere I needed to go and was always available. I most definitely recommend this place to anybody traveling to the area !

Lisa and Nico are fantastic hosts.  The fruit and banana bread breakfasts were fantastic.  The unit is nice and clean, new and in a safe community with fantastic views of the jungle from the deck area and the local wildlife.  The entrance to the unit is about 50 steps to the pool area for the complex and most days there were only a couple of people at the pool.  The pool view and size is great and nicer than a lot of hotels.  There are many fantastic quiet sandy beaches, restaurants and other things to check out in the area with a rental car.  Very good value and base to explore the area or just hang out by the pool.  Thirty minutes from the airport is also handy.  We will be back and recommend these hosts.  Pura Vida!  Steven Bull
