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!
Really beautiful place a perfect combination on being in the jungle and really close to the beach, walking distance to at least 5 excellent restaurants
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.
Wonderful lodge in the midst of the jungle. Incredibly friendly owners and we got to watch wildlife on the property including agoutis and a sloth. Had a wonderful time.
This place was hands down the best place we stayed on our 2-week trip in costa rica! The rooms, hospitality, ambiance, and wildlife were all outstanding! I would highly recommend this place!
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.
Extraordinary ambiance - you feel like you are in the middle of the jungle. The owners are extremely friendly and accomodating! I highly recommend this property to everyone!
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."
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.

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!
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.
