Jardín de Los Monos

Hi guys, There are several rooms offered. No 6 is the best. A very private, spacious, deluxe suite. A bath. See pic The ocean is on walking distance. The waves are rough. Be carefull. Lettika bakes bread. Costarican bread is not edible. So she decided to bake her own bread. A treat. Dutch pancakes are a treat as well. if you are looking for tucans or macaws, ask Teddy. a very nice guy regards schliek

This B&B is gorgeous. Super clean and you are catered to and taken care of daily. The caretaker Dama always made beautiful figurines with towels daily and kept all very clean. Teddy is an amazing right hand who went above and beyond with us and was patient and kind. We learned so much about wild animals while there. He shared a video with us he took at night taken of a Kinkajou right at the property. There were monkeys all over the trees and they made a show that was so much fun. The sloths are so adorable and we saw a family of them sleeping. Their gardens are like paradise/jungle with abundant flowers and vegetation all very beautiful and organized. Such a pleasure to open our eyes in the morning to see this beauty all around us. The owners are very kind and welcoming. They thrive to make you happy and tended too. The breakfast a delight that has to be tried to describe. The homemade bread and homemade marmalade are delicious and exquisite. The Dutch pancakes as well. All natural and healthy. Smoothies were yummy too. I strongly recommend this B&B if you are in the area or even close by… The Matapalo Beach has that black volcanic and which make your feet feel like velvet. Beautiful breathtaking sunsets. Man we really want to come back to Costa Rica and stay at Jardin De Los Monos. You should too.

Lettika and her staff were warm and welcoming. Our accommodations were very nice, clean and modern. Breakfast was excellent! We would definitely stay with them again.

Animals, beach, sunsets, pool, quiet, great breakfast - the best!

Before I begin, this review is from the point of view of two females in their 30’s not traveling with kids: This bed and breakfast was simply amazing. The area was safe and quiet, with a beautiful beach walking distance and a market and restaurant 5 minutes away. There were lots of wildlife around including sloths, monkeys, macaws, squirrels, hummingbirds, and lots more. Lettika was an amazing host, she made us feel truly welcomed, any questions we had or anything that was needed was a simple message away or she was usually on site. The breakfast was delicious and fulfilling and they truly made you feel at home. The room was spacious, clean at all times, the AC worked really well and there was hot water. The pillows and beds were comfortable. The patio had a hammock and plenty of space to relax after all our adventures (wearing bug spray is a must outside!) we rented a car and it was the wisest decision we made as we had freedom to roam around and public transportation is a long walk from the bed and breakfast. If we had a choice to come back, we would pick this bed and breakfast with no questions asked.

Since it was me who organized our trip in Costa Rica, I was particularly excited about this place. It surpassed all expectations! The spacious rooms with large beds and great shower, the beautiful pool and luxious garden, the delicious breakfast with an option of either the bread (secret recipe), the dutch pancake or the granola, and the hammocks for an extra relaxing time. But Jardín de Los Monos is so much more! After a 3 minute walk you're at the beach. No one in sight, the forest goes right up to the sand and the sea, although worthy of much respect, welcomes you with warm water. Both in the property and the surroundings there's sloths, monkeys, squirrels, frogs, iguanas and many birds. There are restaurants nearby, some walking distance and also a supermarket less than 1km away. We had spent 10 days doing tours and activities so we just enjoyed the surroundings but there's a lot to do, in 30mn or less you can be visiting a natural park or going on ziplines. There's also surf lessons and kayaks available just around the corner. But I leave the best for last: our hosts! Lettika and Gijs built this place with love and full of details. It's everywhere: from decorative details to how breakfast is served but mostly on how they make you feel welcomed. We loved staying at Jardín de Los Monos and we'll treasure it in our memory.

Can I give at least 11 points? :). Everything was great. Lattika and her husband runs this place perfectly. Every little details are taken care of. Beautiful little gem close to the beach. Clean rooms. Very comfortable beds. Amazing homemade breakfast. Nice pool. But my favorite thing was the animals, specially the early morning monkey invasion. Thank you Lettika for the amazing hospitality!

Amazing spot and super friendly management. Amazing communication and just over all great experience

We ended our two weeks in Costa Rica with five nights at this incredible boutique B&B! Our spacious double room had a large bathroom and walk-in shower with many lovely touches. The comfortable hammock and seating on the patio were perfect spots to admire the pool and observe birds, butterflies and monkeys in the garden! The pool was the perfect temperature to enjoy at any time of day. Breakfast was delicious with options each morning of fruit or smoothie, eggs, toast or Dutch pancake - we loved everything! This location was perfect for exploring the parks in the area plus enjoying the gorgeous Playa Matapalo! Lettika is a wonderful host who offered suggestions about activities and dining plus pointed out any sloths slumbering in the neighborhood! We would highly recommend this fabulous B&B and hope to return some day.
