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

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!

Our stay at La Kukula lodge was perfect – it was clean, close by Puerto Viejo and had all the amenities we needed. I would 10/10 stay there again.

We loved the rooms. We were inside but we could feel everything outside. The room is screened very well, yet we were able to hear the pouring rain and the Howler monkeys. It is really jungle living.
The property is very clean and well-maintained. Clean towels and sheets regularly. The kitchen staff is friendly and accommodating. Sonia is fantastic and helpful! A very comfortable stay in the jungle. A beautiful beach is a short walk down a jungle path...quiet beach, secluded.

What a beautiful 4 days we enjoyed at La Kukula Lodge. Upon our arrival, the owner went out of his way to find a sleeping sloth for us to enjoy. The rooms were very clean, with clean towels every day. We were 3 in our room and not crowded.
The service couldn't have been better. We even asked for a particular item on the menu that they had run out of the day before and the owner went shopping to ensure they had the right ingredients for us. The food was terrific, especially the included breakfasts. The chef came out several times to ensure everything was satisfactory.
I would definitely recommend this lodge.

Le lieu en pleine jungle est superbe et totalement dépaysant, loin des bruits de la route des plages. Nous entendions seulement les singes hurleurs au matin, et croisions de sympathiques petits animaux en allant nous coucher. Notre chambre avec king size bed était très agréable et nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’architecture avec des matériaux exclusivement écologiques. De bonnes idées à retenir. L’accueil amical et attentionné de nos hôtes ainsi que les cocktails et la cuisine simple et copieuse de Jeremy nous ont conquis. Nous recommandons cette adresse en couple, en groupe ou en famille.

Definitely a place to go and relax, with no TV, and wifi pretty poor. But not the place to come if that's what you want to do. Enjoyed feeling part of "the jungle."

Really nice place, good location, awesome nice staff

Excellent location for wildlife- sloths, howler and capuchin monkeys, iguanas, and many types of birds but to name a few were seen right outside our bungalow. Still, it was only a short walk to the beach and an assortment of other restaurants.
3.0
Marvellous lodge nestled in beautiful tropical gardens. The lodge and rooms are tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Our hosts were on hand to answer any questions and they served a wonderful breakfast too!
3.0
Very good 4 nights stay. The jungle surrounding is fanatics and you see lots of animals from your front porch. It really is just few minute walk to the beach also. Owners are helpful and the breakfast was tasty.
The only downside was there was no facility to make yourself something hot to drink and when asked for coffee I was told there’s none anymore.

Pepo and Sonya were great! A very laid back atmosphere

Great service, right across from a beautiful beach. Delicious, filling breakfast. Excellent location if you are looking for a more relaxing location away from town. Easy 5 minute taxi to town though!
The cabins are open so you can hear monkeys and rain! Only downside is that means you are also open to mosquitos and ants.

We stayed in La Kukula Lodge for 12 nights. It was an amazing place to stay. You wake up every morning to the sound of howler monkeys, and a beautiful breakfast (very good eggs) with local products, and particularly good coffee. The accommodation suits its jungle surroundings and is very carefully situated. The staff are very friendly, Sonja and her husband (and 2 very cute children) are very accommodating and easy to be around. They did lots for us organising trips and talking about the wildlife. The lodge is in playa Chiquita (just outside peurto viejo) which is beautiful and quiet and has the most amazing wild beach. Hire bikes and ride up and down the streets like a local - try all the restaurants - we want to go back now. I’m missing my hammock. Thanks again Kaklua Lodge. we hope to return some day.

Great experience! Puerto Viejo is an amazing place!

It was in the jungle so I don't expect posh, but it was clean and the surroundings were gorgeous. My toilet wouldn't flush a couple times but was fixed right away and 2 mornings I woke up to no water which was again fixed right away. The people running it and working there were super nice and helpful. No a/c if that's something you need. It was cool enough in the evening that it didn't affect my sleep which is all I care about. If you end up next to loud people you will hear everything which at 2am kinda sucked but otherwise didn't bother me.

Being surrounded by nature was an incredible experience and the fact that the hotel is a little isolated from the main street and bigger cites made our stay relaxing yet full of sightseeing and tour possibilites.

We arrived about 9 pm and were greeted by Devan who checked us in and then prepared our dinner. The Rendon and fried red snapper was delicious. Breakfast was included and the fruit bowl with mango, papaya, pineapple and watermelon was beautifully presented and delicious. Breakfast entrees included an omelet, open faced avocado, tomato and bacon sandwich, pancakes or eggs cooked to order. The owners were friendly and helpful in recommending restaurants, sites to visit as well as showing us the best way to return to San Jose. I loved the experience of staying in an eco jungle hotel with no air conditioning, and hearing the sounds of the jungle (birds and monkeys) and the rain that fell heavily at times. I highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed in la kukula for a couple of days and we enjoyed a lot this hotel. The rooms are wood made structures, very charming. Everything was perfectly clean and the showers are particularly nice.
Staff was helpful and friendly (the owners and the staff alike).
And last but not least... The breakfast was fantastic. They change everyday the breakfast menu and it always includes home made bread and marmalades. Totally recommendable
5.0
This is a great place if you are looking to escape the noise and crowds of Puerto Viejo and prefer something more remote. It is a short hike to the beach, but worth the peace and quiet!
