Cocles Vacations from $1,325

Sublime. We saw sloths and toucans walking from reception to our air conditioned room. The property is IN the jungle on the beach. The food is excellent and varied, with portions almost too big. All of the staff is helpful and friendly. It's not Sandals so don't expect infinity pools, mini golf, open bars and a disco. Expect green macaws and monkeys on your amble to the virtually empty beach. You'll see an old wooden hull from a long ago shipwreck and pelicans skimming the small waves. There are mild rip currents on most beaches but they are easy to spot and 50 metres from the walkway finds a very gentle stretch. A short walk takes you to a little village of Manzanillo at the end of the road. Very local, very chill vibe. Great calm waters for swimming or just floating blissfully. There's a convenience store and a few restaurants, as well as snorkeling tours and a wildlife refuge. A little further in the other direction takes you to a slightly larger and equally chill town of Punta Uva. A mix of families, happy dogs, and scattered tourists, as well as some good places to grab a bite. For things like ATM, pharmacy, or restaurants, bars, gift shops and cafes it's about 12km on a bike or in an Uber. Highly recommend getting some phenomenal jerk chicken from Jason at Mcloud's Munchies - a little spot on the beach. I've been to 20 counties and stayed in "fancier" hotels. But this week has been the single best vacation experience I've had. Hands down.

The property was amazing and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. From the complimentary breakfast to the beautiful pool, and reserved poolside chairs we loved it. They informed us of some community amenities and held our bags until the check in. We were allowed to check in a bit early also. Clean and well organized smaller hotel. We will return!

Excelente habitación, personal amable. El desayuno incluido era bueno. Acceso a la playa privado. Muy buena experiencia, de regresar a limón, sería en mi caso al mismo hotel. 100% recomendado

My wife and I had a wonderful time at Beachfront Bungalows! It's a beautiful, well-maintained property, the room was exactly what we needed, the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a very peaceful and wonderful place to spend a week, surrounded by nad close in proximity to Manzanillo, Coccles and Puerto Viejo. We would definitely visit Bungalows again!
