If you want a close look at the Costa Rican Wildlife, this lodge is second to none! The lodge is hidden in a mini tropical jungle, 5 min drive from the stunning and highly recommended Punta Uva beach. We had a 2 bedroom lodge to ourself, with pool. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Our teenage boys loved looking for large golden silk spiders ( non poisonous), monkeys, sloth, frogs, goutis, another many other animals. Be prepared for the unique and very special experience of wildlife morning awakening.

We had the two-bedroom bungalow with private pool which was dreamy and absolutely perfect for a family (myself and two young teens). There was plenty of space, a nice bathroom with shower overlooking the jungle , lovely terrace to lounge on and two comfy bedrooms with the pool nestled on its own private terrace surrounded by jungle. The owners are delightful and passionate about wildlife and the resident sloth entertained us by climbing a tree right in front of us from ground level at breakfast! Breakfast is fab and we also had a delicious evening meal there but there are also some other charming options in the village (try the pizzeria - it’s great and a**ospheric!). The beach was by far the best we saw in the area. It’s the perfect Caribbean beach, a very short walk away and safe to swim as protected by a reef (tho it’s not deep! But that makes it less nerve racking for parents watching kids as currents are dangerous around here otherwise ). Loved it and didn’t want to leave!

La Kukula is located to the east of Puerto Viejo, in an area that isn't as crowded and is very well preserved. The entire place is surrounded by rainforest and you won't forget that as you walk to your room or go to sleep. Surprisingly, I didn't have any problems with bugs in my room (there's also a bug net) so I didn't have the sleepless mosquito-ridden nights I've had in the area before. On the other hand, the surrounding forest can get very loud, so that might bother you if you're a light sleeper. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and really add to the great experience over there. My only negative points are the cost and the breakfast. The place is a bit pricey, and the breakfast was really underwhelming for what I paid. There are good breakfast places in the area, so maybe in the future I'll skip that altogether.

Only stayed one night and wished it would have been longer. Owners did all they could to make it a great experience. Food(dinner and included breakfast) was great. Connected us with a trusted driver that got us through an unknown period with ease. Spanish speaking was necessary for that though

Excellent experience. Staff extremely friendly and go out of their way to accommodate your every request. Helpful with tours of area and their knowledge of the wild life very interesting. Even took us on a short walk when we arrived to see a”Slouth”. Small menu but a variety and vey tasty. We advised ahead of time and Pepo procured it. The Chef had everything hot and ready. Great hot shower and comfortable rooms. Definitely would visit again.

When we arrived we were greeted with the fact that we had booked through ******* and somehow that wasn’t good. We were given the middle room of three in a unit even though we were staying longer than anyone else as it turned out. There was absolutely no privacy as the rooms are not sound proof. If you want to hear your neighbor taking a crap this is the place for you! On the plus side the couple running the kitchen for breakfast were great. Waking up to the howler monkeys was also pretty good. Pacific coast of Costa Rica is much better.

La Kukula Lodge is an amazing Costa Rican jungle experience.
The accommodations are unbelievable matched only by the surroundings.
You really are in the middle of a jungle.
From seeing agoutis for the first time to waking up to the sound of howler monkeys, you never knew what you were going to get.
The owners make you feel very welcome and at home.
The staff are all very friendly and English is widely spoken.
They serve a complimentary breakfast which was delicious!
A truly amazing stay in Costa Rica!

What an amazing place to stay! We stayed in a bungalow with private swimmingpools. We could hear the birds and nature very well, so nice! The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was delicious. And we were welcomed by the sloths. Our best stay in Costa Rica!
