Our family had a really lovely time here. The gardens around the pool are lush and beautiful, and we spotted plenty of wildlife while swimming. Beach is a short walk down the hill.

We rented both houses and had a great time. We loved waking up to the howls of the howler monkeys and the sounds of the birds and the sea! It’s awesome to be in the middle of the nature but you have to be ready for the insects too!

Really a beautiful place and a wonderful garden with fantastic wildlife. We arrived just after a power outage due to severe weather and fallen trees, but Zvezda welcomed us warmly and ensured we had a wonderful stay. So toucans, monkeys, parrots right outside the house 🙌 Thank you so much for some wonderful days ☀️🙏

The place is a dream in the middle of nature and close to the main beaches in the area. To get in, you DO need a 4x4 vehicle (as the listing says). César and Zvezda's service was excellent and super fast. They resolved any request that was made. The pool has ladder access and is super nice! We will definitely stay again! Thank you for everything!

The grounds were beautiful. We rented two houses for a big family trip and really enjoyed having our own spaces but being so close. The children enjoyed the pool so much and the balconies were amazing for wildlife viewing. The caretaker was unobtrusive but always available and they changed our linens and trash twice in a one week stay. Walkable even for children to the beach and a few restaurants.

Punta Uva beach is beautiful, and so is the location of Ginger and Cacao. Everything is furnished with a lot of love. The pool and outdoor area are incredibly beautiful. We would have liked to have stayed longer.

Very pleasant stay in the middle of the rainforest. Very clean house with amenities and air conditioning in both bedrooms and ceiling fans everywhere. We had the Ginger house. Cabinets in the bedrooms to store clothes and mosquito nets in the patio doors of the bedrooms and kitchen. Kitchen fairly well equipped with a gas stove. Access to the entrance is narrow and very steep; a 4x4 facilitates the climb. We found the entrance easier to maneuver when arriving from above. Note that Punta Uva is down the coast; for young and fit people, it can take about 5 minutes to walk, otherwise it takes a car. We loved our stay, the excursions were close by car. Grocery stores are a 5-minute drive away. César, the concierge, is on site and responds quickly to our requests. Incredible to hear the sounds of the jungle and see the macaws, hummingbirds and other animals. Thanks to our host for a memorable stay!
