Howler Monkey Hotel

Pessimo…. Siamo scappati.. Partiamo dalla piscina, acqua sporca e non aggiungo altro. Iniziamo dalla cucina😂 sporca anzi sporchissima con bombola del gas fai da te. Il bagno tendina anni 30 con allegato fili elettrici scoperti e piastrelle con fughe oscene. Cucina e bagno( come scritto sul sito) sono sotto alla camera (15 gradini ca). Ma il bello è nella camera che in 10 mt quadrati c’è un letto matrimoniale e 4 letti singoli. 2 ventilatori sono la tua aria fresca🤣. Uno schifo ma la cosa più inconcepibile è che permettono oggi 2024 a certe strutture di essere aperte. Caro Jim invece di vivere sugli allori vedi di sistemare la tua struttura oppure ritirati…… un collega

I love this place, if you want to unwind from a busy life style this is where you can do it, I've met the nicest people here, Jim has become one of my best friends in Costa Rica, he is very hospitable . Always willing to help with his guests needs. The location is directly on the beach in the most beautiful jungle setting. I can't say enough good things about this place. I'm looking forward to coming back to my home away from home. See you soon Jim .

Absolute paradise. If you love rustic style, relaxed living with the jungle above & the beach literally on your doorstep then you’ll love it here. Cabuya is small & totally unspoilt. A couple of restaurants & 2 small supermarkets, a short drive to Montezuma if you want more tourism & activities. I stayed with my two teenage sons who completely chilled in between surfing & visiting the waterfalls, both activities in Montezuma, it was great to get totally away from it & just enjoy the wildlife & views. Jim and his dogs were the perfect hosts, there but never intrusive. Jim’s local knowledge & kind quiet manner were much appreciated. My youngest teen enjoyed walking Rocky too. We would go back in a heartbeat.

There is no place near Montezuma as good as this one. You must go there if you love a conjuction of jungle, sea and rustic. Cabins are comfortable, spacy, well ventilated and appropriately furnished. A lot of work has been done there. The whole place has so lazy vibe, it's up to you if you decide to lie all day in a hammock, go to pool, kayaking, biking or take a hike in beckoning green pura vida nature around Cabuya. No one will push you into anything. Perfect asylum from hectic city lifestyle. We stayed for four nights, but ultimately found ourselves regreting we couldn't stay more. One of the top hotel experiences in Costa Rica.

Nous avons pris 2 bungalow pour 4, car, même si ces dernier sont prévu pour 5 et 6 personnes, les lits sont présentés comme un dortoir dans la pièce du haut, ne laissant que peu d’intimité, mais cela n’était qu’un choix personnel, et un seul bungalow peu convenir à d’autre famille/ groupes. Une cuisine (rustique!) et une sale de douche privative sont situé au rez de chaussé du bungalow. La décoration et l’ambiance globale est un peu vieillotte et avec peu de confort, mais pour les personnes cherchant un contact authentique avec la nature c’est top! Les singes hurleur sautent d’arbre en arbre juste en face de nos bungalow, et nous réveillent dès 5 heures du matin avec leur cri. Nous avons eu la malchance de dormir là bas le soir d’un gros orage, et je dois avouer que nous avons eu peur que tout s’écroule. Les portes se sont ouvertes en pleine nuit à cause du vent, laissant entrer la pluie et des feuilles, nous étions obligés de placer la commode devant pour la bloquer. Des arbres sont tombé sur les fils électriques, nous n’avions donc plus de courant et ainsi plus de ventilateurs… Au moins nous avons vu et vécu cet orage de très près. Une expérience atypique donc, que je recommande seulement aux amoureux de la nature.

I stayed with my friend and her kids in one of the large bungalows. Overall it was a nice, basic stay. The facilities were clean. The kitchen allowed us to make basic meals and we could borrow gadgets from the communal kitchen as needed. The staff was very helpful about adding an extra bed and providing an additional patio table for our group. We enjoyed the hammocks on the patio and the pool, which we could use at all hours. The grounds are great to wander around in and you'll see monkeys, iguanas, hummingbirds, toads, crabs and geckos, at least! And the beach access is great, with a relaxing view. Jim, the host, is available to help you with any questions about transport or directions and to tell you a bit about the area. He also plays his music quite loudly during the day, sometimes starting at 7 am. I rather enjoyed it, but it might not be for everyone. The dogs on the property are all very loving and I enjoyed having a few stop by to spend time on my patio.
