Welcome to the jungle!
This place is truly part of the jungle - we saw tons of bird and had monkeys, coatis and even a huge spider inside of the treehouse. We felt one with nature, while still living in a very clean and comfortable space. There were no mosquitos at night which was a pleasant surprise! When we arrived Joel greeted us with a smile and even helped us make a dinner reservation down the road at Encanta La Vida since we didn't bring much food with us. In hindsight, having less food in the cabin and eating at local restaurants might have been a blessing because more food = more wildlife trying to take your food lol A few drawbacks of this place: the photos are not updated so what you don't see is a large home that sits on the property to the front right of the treehouse. It takes away from the view and the private, secluded feeling a bit. The pump for the waterfall/pool area did not work, leaving a stagnant pool of water sitting in the back of the treehouse. There was animal feces in the pool on multiple days, which my husband cleaned out because Joel had left town and the replacement caretaker did not speak English (we did not have cell reception or wifi to use Google translate). The outdoor kitchen area looked pretty shabby and run down, not at all as it does in the photos. Bit of an eyesore. Aside from those few minor drawbacks, our stay here was a very positive experience! We enjoyed feeling one with nature and would absolutely stay here again.

The tree house was clean, luxurious and beautiful. The grounds are amazing. One criticism is the infinity pool never worked. The caretaker quickly took care of any concerns we had. Another concern is we reached out to the property manager for guidance on what to buy and bring to the treehouse such as food, etc and we never heard back. We didn’t realize we would have a full size refrigerator so we did not buy enough groceries. Because of the difficulty with the roads and actually getting to the treehouse, this would have been helpful because heading back into town was not an easy thing to do. Having said all that, our experience was one we will never forget. Joel, the caretaker, was so kind and helpful. He was always on site which was reassuring. The closeness to the jungle/forest was exhilarating and calming. The beauty of the place is indescribable. The ocean was closer than we expected and the sound of the sea, the monkeys howling and the birds as well as everything else we heard was like an orchestra. It was amazing and we would go again. We were pleasantly surprised not to have to worry about flying insects, however, this may not be the case all year round. Be prepared to have birds fly through and an occasional visit from monkeys, all of this just made the experience that much more remarkable. Joel and his family went out of their way to explain the different wildlife and abundance of fruit and beauty of the area.

Gorgeous place to stay, 4x4 needed!
Casa Contiki is an amazingly beautiful, relaxing, and unique place to stay! The property has a couple of rental houses on it, one of which was under construction while we were there and one of which was also rented out. The shared yard/garden/outdoor kitchen area (shared between Contiki and their larger group building) were GORGEOUS and well kept, and full of interesting wildlife. The manager Joel was very helpful and was available if we needed anything during our stay. The Contiki hut itself is open-air, with a helpful mosquito net over the bed, an outdoor shower, tub, and lounge pool area, and a nicely equipped kitchen. The cabinets and fridge need to be secured because the monkeys will do their best to break in and get your snacks! We saw a variety of monkeys, frogs, lizards, and a large Iguana who lives in the tree by the hut. You absolutely need a 4x4 to get out to the property, from PJ the road turns to gravel and serious potholes for about 30 minutes, then you turn off onto what, in the U.S.A., we would call a 4x4 track through several secluded properties and resorts near the beach. These roads are pretty standard for backcountry CR, but if you aren't a regular offroad driver they may seem very challenging. A high clearance 4x4 would be best, we did okay with a rental Renault but would have preferred higher clearance. Take your time getting there and bring all of your groceries for your stay - you won't want to have to run back into town.

Absoluetly wonderful
The property is amazing! A well manicured jingle oasis. The house is breath takingly beautiful and was very clean and set up very well. Joel, the caretaker, is a gem, and was extremely pleasant and attentative, helping us with local intel and providing us with everything we needed. Rolando, the gardener is a very sweet man and loved sharing the fruits, literally, of the land with us, and Jorje, the handyman, was very helpful. Overall amazing experience!

might not be for everyone...
This place may not be for everyone. We were visited by: flying ants one night attracted by the lights, a scorpion in one the clothes drawer, coatis on several occasions, in the absolute dead of night we had a full-blown monkey fight 2 feet from the bed when they couldn't get the fridge open, bats visit the bathing pools, a spider the size of my hand was creeping around on the rocking chair and another one like it was behind the toilet. The night noises of Nature are loud but not as loud as at 4AM - you won't be sleeping in. The Matapolo Beach Road is a rough ride. And this may be the best place I've ever stayed in my life. It is situated at the end of the road, with a stunning view, the insects really aren't that big a deal - I never saw a mosquito in a week, several amazing beaches close by within walking distance, Joel is an unbeatable host, Puerto Jiminez is an easy drive and has everything you need, and Big Nature is in your face. I only wish we had booked it for longer.

4 nights in PARADISE!
The property was AMAZING!!!! Pleasantly secluded area with an authentic "jungle drive" to get there. Joel and Orlando who managed the property for the owners, were extremely helpful and accommodating. There was a new structure being built on site but they asked us when they could begin work in the mornings and shut off any power tools at our request. They made the experience really awesome and Joel even took us on a night time walking tour in the jungle where we learned about the trees, local cultures appreciation for the environment and saw a baby armadillo. The surf and backwash beach were amazing. Mcaw's, pezote's, monkey's (all 3 types) were all abundant in the yard and in the trees above. PURAVIDA!

2nd time back and won't be our last
I am sitting in one of the two hammocks here at Casa Contiki while typing this review. Carlos has done a fantastic job keeping up the property as well as the property owners for adding some lovely upgrades. Not a single day went by last year that my boyfriend and I didn't mention how badly we missed Casa Contiki and couldn't wait to return. If you are on the fence about coming to this property, do yourself a favor a book it. We didn't realize that we had been homesick all of our lives for this place and we will definitely be returning again.

Great place, very unique experience, a memory you won't forget.
This place was great. Very serene. Right on the beach. Absolutely not quiet due to the abundant wildlife!! Macaws everywhere, Coati came by daily, and were not shy. Howlers and other monkeys were always in the trees, tons of critters in the tide pools. Caretaker Carlos was a super nice guy and very helpful - but also gave us plenty of space. Felt perfectly safe, everything was very clean. This place is for the more adventurous travelers - internet was there, but very slow at times. Better bring what you need, as town is an hour away. There are 2 bars / restaurants within about 3 KM - but anticipate cooking most of your meals in the outdoor kitchen. The kitchen was well provisioned for utensils and a few spices. We had a great few days, hope to do it again in the future. Thanks for sharing this special spot with us, will never forget the trip.
