We enjoyed our stay here! The beach was within an easy, short walking distance and very beautiful! The rip current can be very strong, so we found a nice, mostly calm pocket of water between reefs, down the beach, to swim in for a couple of days-- really pleasant! Plus, they gave us beach towels at the desk. The staff were friendly, helpful and someone was always available. They provided dry towels everyday, since nothing dries for days. The rooms have a lot of screens so the sounds of the jungle come in, including howler monkeys! You can hear your neighbors as well as the rainforest, but the other guests were usually fairly quiet by 9 pm.

The room was very clean and comfortable. However, it would have been nice to have a refrigerator and also an air conditioner since it can get very warm and the ceiling fan alone does not cool the room down. The staff and owners are super friendly and very attentive. We left very early in the morning and the lady working in the kitchen (I believe her name was Gira) offered to prepare us some sandwiches, which super nice of her. One negative was that things do not dry since its super humid outside as well as in the room. However, if you enjoy nature this is definitely the place to stay!

Great place to feel immersed in the jungle, with trees and animals all around. We saw a sloth, monkeys and agouti, they have a tiny frog sanctuary, and it's close to the beach (10 min). Room has a mosquito net and helps to feel immersed in the jungle (no windows) Food and drinks are available and the breakfast was decent.

La Kukula Lodge is an amazing Costa Rican jungle experience. The accommodations are unbelievable matched only by the surroundings. You really are in the middle of a jungle. From seeing agoutis for the first time to waking up to the sound of howler monkeys, you never knew what you were going to get. The owners make you feel very welcome and at home. The staff are all very friendly and English is widely spoken. They serve a complimentary breakfast which was delicious! A truly amazing stay in Costa Rica!
