Hotel Pumilio

Jaco, Costa Rica
$140-180/ natt

Boka detta om You want a jungle sanctuary with monkeys for neighbors, but still want to be a $6 Uber ride from Jaco's nightlife.

Varför människor älskar det

  • Daily visits from scarlet macaws and white-faced monkeys right on your balcony
  • The 'Kàl Suite' offers a private jacuzzi and genuine seclusion for couples
  • Free, high-quality Costa Rican breakfast that actually fills you up

Snabb Överblick: A lush, quiet escape that feels miles away from Jaco's grit, provided you have a rental car to bridge the actual 2.5-mile gap.

Recenserat av @collabwithabbie: I booked this as a quick stopover, but I didn't want to leave! Eating breakfast while wild monkeys swung through the trees right above my head was a core memory. The room felt like a private apartment with that patio kitchen. It’s the perfect jungle recharge.

The hype

Travelers adore the pool area and wildlife sightings but consistently wish the WiFi was stronger in the rooms.

Reality check

The 'kitchenette' on the balcony is great until the ants discover your groceries.

  • You prefer the sound of howler monkeys to reggaeton beats at 2 AM
  • You have a rental car and don't mind driving for dinner
  • You want a 'soft adventure' experience with luxury bedding

FAQ & Dolda tips

Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.

Is there a gym?

No on-site gym, but the hotel considers the nearby hiking trails and waterfalls your workout.

Is it really 5 minutes to the beach?

By car, yes. Walking is not an option due to the road conditions.

Do the rooms have AC?

Yes, powerful AC in the bedrooms, but the kitchen/living areas are often open-air or screened.

Is breakfast included?

Yes, a highly-rated buffet with made-to-order eggs and local gallo pinto.

Can I charge my EV there?

No dedicated EV stations on-site; you'll need to charge in Jaco town.

Is the internet good for working?

It's hit-or-miss. Great in the lobby/pool area, often weak inside the concrete-walled rooms.

Insider-tips

  • ✨

    Ask for the 'River Walk' map at reception; there's a small trail on the property often missed.

  • ✨

    Buy alcohol at the Auto Mercado in Herradura before checking in to enjoy on your private terrace.

  • ✨

    The 'snack bar' closes early, so plan your dinner delivery by 7 PM.

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker

  • 💡The bathroom in some suites has a semi-open shower concept that offers little privacy from your roommate.

  • 💡You will likely see a sloth on the property if you just look up near the parking lot.

  • 💡The 'kitchenette' is outdoors on the balcony, meaning you cook in the humidity.

  • 💡Uber drivers sometimes struggle to find the specific turnoff; drop a pin on WhatsApp.

  • 💡The pool water can be surprisingly cool because it's shaded by massive trees.
