    We had some problems with the night tour that can be bought at this property, but Heidy did all her best to manage that. The problem with AC was handled super fast.

    We enjoyed our stay in this villa. It’s one room but pretty big, sunny, and comfortable. You can find here really huge bed, sofa, couple of armchairs, dining table, fully equipped kitchen; for cooling down there are 2 ceiling fans and AC, bathroom with everything you may need (hairdryer and washing supplies). Big plus for us - this property has laundry and parking place. Also you may find here some common place with swimming pool, grills and tables to chill out. The road to the property (last 100 meters) is not great but doable as I think with any type of car. Overall we recommend this place for a nice and calm stay. You may feel here as at home.

    If there is anything to nit pick it would be no English language TV channels but we were in a Spanish speaking country.

    Gecko was the perfect size villa for us. Very comfortable bed, functional kitchen a great shower. Sitting out by the big table every morning enjoying Costa Rican coffee listening to the birds was a real treat. Late afternoon glass of chatting with other guests was great fun. Easy to get to Manuel Antonio and Quepos. Perhaps the best was Heidi. She was extremely helpful in setting up reservation for our 50th anniversary dinner at a fabulous restaurant very near by. She also helped arrange great tours for us. Heidi is awesome.

    The room was exactly as described with great amenities including a shared pool. The property had a real home comfort about it that allowed you to really relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Manuel Antonio. Our host, Heidy, was amazing, helping to sort everything we needed from transportation to Mangrove Kayak tour and even a late check out.

    I liked everything!

    The rooms were so spacious and the bed was a huge comfy king size! You had all the kitchen utensils you could need, even tupperware for taking snacks or sandwiches to the beach. We received a small welcome hamper with a few snacks and coffee. The coffee is exceptional! You can purchase more from Heidi as I guarantee you'll run out! Heidi was a great host and always available with any questions we might have. She also booked a couple of tours for us! Manuel Antonio is not great for walking around it's so humid and hilly. There was a bus stop around 200 metres from the end of the road, it cost around 65p per person to the beach each way. We also found uber a really cheap way to get around however you did have to pay extra for uber priority for a driver to accept you. This still worked out 1/4 of the price of the local red taxis at around £2.50 each way. Jungle Creek was also the best place to spot red parrots, toucans and squirrel monkeys. We had a truly magical experience and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!

    The pool was a bit small, not really for swimming.

    It was comfortable, quiet, close to nature, well equipped. Our apartment was in the lower label, so it was cooler. Close to the nicest areas and restaurants in Manuel Antonio, yet away enough from the main road that it felt like been in the jungle.

    If you wanted to do any of the excursions, al you had to do was send Paula a message. She would then book for you, everything was super organized and so easy i can not wait to go back now!

    We liked the clean and spacious accommodation. Our studio was well equipped, large fridge, toaster oven, coffee machine and microwave. The shared bbq was spotless. The pool and patio were clean and well maintained. There is lots of outdoor space, the patio has various chairs and loungers for guests. Prior to our arrival and during our stay the owner was very helpful with lots of communication and suggestions to enhance our stay.

    My fiancé and I had an exceptional time at Jungle Creek Villas. We didn’t even have to go travel into the National Parks to see any of the wildlife. It was all right on our doorstep from the patio. Paula was amazing with her communication and made us feel right at home. We will most definitely be coming back in the future!

    Kitchen well equipped, made our own breakfast. Morning coffee or end of day apéro taken on the terrace, straight over the creek and, well, the jungle! With a constant musical accompaniment of cicadas, birds of all types and howler monkeys. Paula’s recommendations for dinner and activities were top notch. Free access to laundry equipment was a lifesaver.
