We enjoyed very much our stay at Coco Beach Village which is located just 1 minute (by walk) from amazing Matapalo beach. Our room was spacious, very clean and all rooms are overlooking the beautiful garden with the nice pool. The owners David and Roja are both lovely. David even showed us the sloths on the beach and organised surf lessons with a great instructor. It is very quiet and perfectly located to easily reach all attractions of the surrounding (for example Manuel Antonio and Marino Ballena national parks) or just to spend a relaxing beach day (my wife got a 1 hour massage from a lady directly at Matapalo beach which was fantastic). In addition, also the breakfast was very nice.

Wonderfull location on the beach, amazing garden with palm trees and delicous breakfast. The Bungalow was very clean and beautiful furnished, we felt very comfortable and warm welcomed during our whole stay. We stayed for two nights and wish that we could have stayed longer. Definitely recommend it!!!

Breakfast was delicious and there were lots of options. The owners were so nice and accommodating, they spoke Spanish to us but slowly so we could try and understand, which was great because we were trying to practice our Spanish. The accommodation was super close to the beach which there were not many people so it was great. There was also a sloth named George in the tree out the front which was an awesome suprise! Overall a great stay!

The fantastic location adjacent to the beach meant that we could hear the sound of the waves as we fell asleep and as we awoke in the morning. The sunrise and sunset seen from the beach were very special. We had regular visits from a group of white faced capuchin monkeys, saw red macaws, frequent groups of pelicans flying low to the sea and a resident sloth. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This was a perfect end to 18 days in Costa Rica.

Unfortunately we stayed only for one night. The Hotel is amazing. The staff let you fell very welcome. We were very lucky to have the hotel for ourselves. The breakfast we had there was by far the best I had on any vacation. The waiter (Geovanny) was amazing. An experience I won’t forget.

We stayed here for two nights during our Costa Rica holiday and could happily have stayed longer. The place surpassed our expectations as we had not appreciated from the information that it is a single lodge set within amazing jungled grounds with access to a beautiful swimming pool. We thought it was probably within a complex of lodges so were very pleasantly surprised. The lodge was very comfortable with great kitchen facilities and an amazing open air bathroom which we loved. The balcony overlooking the forest was beautiful and you can see and hear lots of birds and animals. It was a very calm place with easy access beautiful beaches. We did a snorkelling trip to Cano island while there, which was amazing and we had the added bonus of seeing humpback whales on the boat trip there. We also visited Manuel Antonio national park which is nearby and saw many interesting birds and animals. We would definitely recommend this place.

    If you like to have a quiet vacation where you feel one with nature, this place is for you. It’s different from other cities we visited yet offers some of activities other places offer and it’s cheaper here. Food was delicious and cheap. Definitely visiting again.

    Beautiful place, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere.

    Beautiful place, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere. The epitome of Pura Vida. There are three licensed restaurants worth visiting, Akachete, La Esquinita and Supper Club. All are open for dinner, La Esquinita also breakfast and lunch and Akachete for lunch. There is Matapalo main centre with police, church, school and shops, also more eateries for lunches and snacks. And Playa Matapalo 15 minutes down the road, with one hotel (Coco Beach) and many B&B's, Airbnb and lodges close to the highly rated beach. Matapalo beach apartments (Jungle House) has a pool as well. Walks along the beach can go on the ever and the sunsets are magnificent. You can walk to Dominical along the beach, there are 4 rivers to cross which is very easy at low tide and it takes about 3 or 4 hours. The flora and fauna views are incredible and it's best in the early morning. You can catch the bus or take a taxi back to Matapalo. Also, take a walk to the small waterfall in the hills, it's about 30 minutes from La Esquinita restaurant. And horse riding on the beach in the afternoon.

    Great location for exploring the area from Manuel Antonio down to Uvita and up into the mountains. There were a number of small restaurants to eat at even though we only ate at one. The beach was nice and quiet with lots of shade trees.

    It’s a great place if you want a quiet peaceful experience, away from crowds and along with the nature. There are plenty physical activities on the beach—walking, biking, horse riding.Strong current and big waves are making it difficult and safe to swim, but you can wade in or drive to safer beaches. This beach provides you with a privacy and lots of room to explore. There is a little restaurant La Kashette a couple minutes from the beach and a small store.

    The ‘included breakfast’ didn’t exist. The washing machine didn’t exist. When we queried this after an hour of negotiation between the host via a third party over the phone we were offered the use of the twin tub. We chose not to as by then we were steaming and desperate to explore. There was no hot tub (we weren’t planning to use it but it was on the details). It took us an hour to find the place because although we asked several locals they had never heard if it. Turned out it was called Jungle House not Matapalo beach apartments.

    This is a nice hotel away from the crowds in an area that is still not touristic. Only 200 meters away from a fantastic almost completely empty beautiful beach. The rooms are large and everything works the way it should, good shower, airco, fridge, etc. Literally next door there is a simple looking but really good restaurant with great fresh food! two other restaurants close by which we did not visit. also a supermarket close by.

    We stayed at this beautiful small hotel after travelling through Costa Rica for a week. This was a perfect place to relax and enjoy the beach. The host is lovely and we saw sloths, monkeys, and birds in the back yard. The breakfast was made with love. You will need a car to get around but a few restaurants are close by. We would definately come back!

    The location was ideal, close to the beach, and with a good sized pool. Good cooking facilities, and very comfortable bed. Carlos was extremely helpful and always on hand. Very relaxed atmosphere. The beach at Matapalo is beautiful and mostly deserted, with a couple of good restaurants nearby and a supermarket within 10min walk.
