"A quiet spot with all you need on site to never leave. The staff were very friendly and never far away. An abundance of wildlife around the resort so do as the staff suggest and make sure to lock you doors. "

"The house itself was fantastic and the pool was awesome. The only downfall was the airport was listed as 60 miles away; however, that 60 miles takes 2 1/2 hours to get to the house. The town of Nosara was listed as 20 minutes away but it took us almost an hour to get there because of the condition of the gravel road."

"We loved our stay here. So relaxing with wonderful views and quiet, comfortable space. The beach is an 8-minute walk down and after climbing the hill back up, we jumped in the pool to cool off. The space is really unique. It feels remote and secure. We saw a howler monkey in the trees and sea turtles on the beach. The bed is comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking basic meals. Hot water throughout. AC unit worked great. The roads to get to this part of the coast can be rough. I was glad we rented a 4x4 truck, though you can probably manage with a regular vehicle. There's a big hill to climb to access the bungalow, but there's lower parking that doesn't require 4x4, but then you need to carry your luggage up the hill. Either way, it's worth the effort to stay here. "

"It is pretty basic, but it was SUPER CLEAN, the room was nice and cold, and the staff was amazing. We chose to stay at Ostional Turtle Lodge due to the proximity to the beach where our tour was scheduled. It is definitely off the beaten path a little bit, but that's what makes Ostional such a special place. A short walk to the beach passing a couple small little restaurants made it perfect. Because we stayed so close, we were able to book a tour the next morning and not have to worry about driving."

"Such a great location, quiet, beautiful views, nice rooms, great food. We really enjoyed this part of our trip. "

"Staff were accommodating, friendly, and helpful. Pool was clean and chlorinated. Room was peaceful, with air conditioning, an outdoor shower, and a nice balcony. Staff arranged a sea turtle tour with a local guide (Gilberth), who was great. "

"Our 10 day retreat, was indeed a retreat! The house opened to the gorgeous pool and view. In fact one of our favorite features was that the entire house could open to our private jungle. We had daily, and nightly entertainment from our resident critters. Howlers, lizards, iguanas, and these tiny green frogs (they only are out at night). The noise they expel is amazing. Pool seating, towels, and just about everything you need was provided. Other favored features include an outdoor shower, lounging palace, huge ceiling fans which we found very refreshing. I will add at this time......NO BUGS, You almost don't want to say that out loud! Roads are challenging, get a jeep! It is worth the dust, rocks, and every divot on your way to this gem. We felt embraced by the peacefulness and beauty! "

"The house is just as listed, no photoshop needed here.Don't think a 4x4 is required to traverse the roads to the house, as we never used 4wd on our rental, but the peace of mind was there.Secluded, quiet, and the only sounds were the distant waves crashing, birds, and howler monkeys.Coffee in the morning in the outdoor living room, dinner at the outdoor dining table! All while overlooking the trees and the ocean in the distance."

"Our stay at this stunning jungle retreat in Costa Rica was nothing short of magical. Tucked high in the lush canopy, this is easily one of the most beautiful rental properties we've ever experienced—peaceful, private, and surrounded by nature’s beauty.From the moment we arrived, our host Udo went above and beyond. He is an absolute gem—kind, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful. Udo helped arrange all of our excursions, from ziplining to waterfall hikes, and made the entire trip seamless and unforgettable. His care and hospitality truly made us feel at home.The house is thoughtfully designed and incredibly versatile—perfect for both families and adult-only getaways. Our children loved the adorable bunk beds, toys, and the private playground. Meanwhile, the adults enjoyed the spacious layout, well-equipped kitchen, peaceful jungle views, and even a fully equipped workout room.If you’re looking for a peaceful escape in the Costa Rican jungle with 5-star hospitality, this is it. Whether you're bringing the kids or planning a more tranquil adults-only trip, this home has everything you need. We can’t wait to come back."
