Beach Hotels in Puerto Jiménez

Everything. Jen and Stuart are superb hosts and have a wonderful property equally suitable if looking for a yoga/retreat type break or a relaxing trip surrounded by nature/wildlife and the beach. Meals are taken in a buffet style with lunch and dinner optional, all delivering great healthy quality and flavour.

Look this is as rustic as it gets. Don't expect glamour - it's a basic apartment right on the seas edge. Its a cold water tap shower with basic cooking facilities but that adds to its authenticity. No ac but fans in bedrooms. The hosts are genuine & want you to fall in love with the area as much as they do. We loved it. The whale watching trip with the neighbours was just brilliant as was the trip into the national park - car & walk organised by tour operator 5 minutes from property Great stay & yes we feel in love with it x

I liked the position, very easy to reach from the bus station and right in the center of the town near the town sign, also in front of the beach where you can walk around and sightsee

Super. Julia and Thomas are excellent hosts and they accomodated us with very early breakfast ! Lovely place.

The lodge is surrounded by nature in a clearing directly on the Golfo Dulce. There are only 6 bungalows, so the number of guests remains small and this provides a very relaxed atmosphere. The bungalows each have 2 bedrooms, both with their own bathrooms, one of which has an outdoor shower. In one of the rooms there is an (empty) fridge, a coffee machine and a tea maker. There is no television (why would there be in this environment). There is no air conditioning, only a ceiling fan, which is quiet and efficient. All terraces offer beautiful views over the gulf. The two bedrooms are only separated by a thin wall, so you can hear everything that happens in the other room. They are therefore more suitable for families or if you know each other (very) well and can put up with that. We were travelling as two couples and didn't realise this. We felt it was a great courtesy that we were offered accommodation in separate bungalows for at least 3 of the 4 nights we had booked, as the booking situation allowed for this. We also felt that we were well looked after in every other respect. Everyone was very friendly and our every wish was fulfilled. There were lots of animals to watch and the best thing was the macaws that had their lunch in a tree on the beach every evening. We had a partner massage in an enchanted spa in the forest by a stream, which was unique. You get used to the lack of air conditioning surprisingly well, especially as it cools down to 20°C at night and the bungalows are open all round (protected by fly screens). Contrary to expectations, there were hardly any mosquitoes. The food was very good and varied enough for a 4-day stay. There was only a small salad as an alternative to soup as a starter, in this respect there could be a little more choice. Everything is very attractively designed. Thanks to the Kunken team for a great stay at this special place! We will definitely be back.

The food was fresh, local, and delicious. The resort is beautifully landscaped and has a magical quality with all the old-growth trees, art, and cool design. It is a very relaxing place but also offers activities with the free use of boogie boards and surfboards. The staff was very polite and helpful. Everything was wonderful for our family vacation. I love this place and hope to return again. We also spent one night at the Hilton Botanika resort and everyone preferred Iguana Lodge for its authenticity and beauty.

Swimming pool was great! Breakfast which was included was delicious. There is a great view of the boats in the Harbor. It's also a close walk to the ferry to get to Porto Jimenez. Hot shower as well.
