Beach Hotels in Puerto Jiménez

Nice and clean accommodation, perfect location

We arrived early and because there was a room available we were able to check in early. John was very helpful, giving us a map and telling us all the great things to do in the area. We took the kayaks (which were free) around the bay, where we saw a dolphin. We also saw lots of scarlet macaws and hummingbirds in the nearby trees and watched a turtle bob up occasionally from the deck. The place also has bikes to use. It's really close to the town so everything is walkable. There's free coffee in the room. All the staff were lovely.

Beautiful location, very friendly staff, a huuuge bed, really nice rooms, right at the beach, perfect to swim and see the sunset behind the palm trees

The lodge is surrounded by nature in a clearing directly on the Golfo Dulce. There are only 6 bungalows, so the number of guests remains small and this provides a very relaxed atmosphere. The bungalows each have 2 bedrooms, both with their own bathrooms, one of which has an outdoor shower. In one of the rooms there is an (empty) fridge, a coffee machine and a tea maker. There is no television (why would there be in this environment). There is no air conditioning, only a ceiling fan, which is quiet and efficient. All terraces offer beautiful views over the gulf. The two bedrooms are only separated by a thin wall, so you can hear everything that happens in the other room. They are therefore more suitable for families or if you know each other (very) well and can put up with that. We were travelling as two couples and didn't realise this. We felt it was a great courtesy that we were offered accommodation in separate bungalows for at least 3 of the 4 nights we had booked, as the booking situation allowed for this. We also felt that we were well looked after in every other respect. Everyone was very friendly and our every wish was fulfilled. There were lots of animals to watch and the best thing was the macaws that had their lunch in a tree on the beach every evening. We had a partner massage in an enchanted spa in the forest by a stream, which was unique. You get used to the lack of air conditioning surprisingly well, especially as it cools down to 20°C at night and the bungalows are open all round (protected by fly screens). Contrary to expectations, there were hardly any mosquitoes. The food was very good and varied enough for a 4-day stay. There was only a small salad as an alternative to soup as a starter, in this respect there could be a little more choice. Everything is very attractively designed. Thanks to the Kunken team for a great stay at this special place! We will definitely be back.

Iguana Lodge is a wonderful hotel placed in a small sliver of paradise. The facilities, food and staff is all great and the views and beach is beautiful. We had such a wonderful time and would love to come back to visit again one day.

Everything was good, breakfast was perfect balanced.

Marcella’s place is really nice and perfect to get away from all the touristic spots. The water of Golfo Dulce is only 4 meters from the property and you’ll find a lot of wild animals around like parrots, if you’ll lucky sloths and dolphins and more as well. The rooms are very clean with private bathroom and big windows + aircon and one of the most comfortable beds we had during our stay in Costa Rica! Also Marcella is a really nice host open for a little chat here and then.

Food was super delicious. Staff and owner are super friendly. There is nice trails going in the jungle
