Jungle Vista Boutique Hotel
Apartment-style suites with kitchens and two jungle pools on the Manuel Antonio hillside
Jungle Vista Boutique Hotel, on a rainforest hillside in Manuel Antonio
Jungle Vista is a small hotel of apartment-style suites built into a rainforest hillside in Manuel Antonio, 100 m west of Hotel La Mariposa. Monkeys and toucans come down to the pools, and every suite has its own balcony. It suits couples, young families and anyone staying long enough to want a kitchen and a few quiet evenings in.
Why we choose it
- A kitchen when you want one. The Titi Suites have a kitchenette and the Tucan Suites a full kitchen with a full-size fridge, which makes a week in Manuel Antonio with children much easier on everyone.
- Pools the wildlife visits. Two split-level pools in different shades of blue, with wooden decks and loungers, sit right in the trees, so the monkeys and toucans are part of the afternoon.
- Dinner on a deck over the jungle. The Sloth Snack Bar is a covered deck above the forest, serving wraps, burgers, ceviche and tropical cocktails from 8am to 9pm.
Rooms and views
There are three kinds of suite. The Iguana Suites, 32 m2, are for couples: a king bed, a balcony over the pools and the jungle, air conditioning, a smart TV and a small kitchen corner with coffee maker, microwave, oven and mini fridge.
The Titi Suites, 43 m2, look into the rainforest from the balcony and take two adults and two children, with a king bed, twin daybeds and a pull-out couch in the living area. The Tucan Suites, 54 m2, are set up like an apartment, with a separate sleeping area and a living room. The hotel pitches them at families, longer stays and people working remotely.
On the property
The Sloth Snack Bar is open to the public as well as guests, with a full bar of local beers, wines and cocktails. Reception books tours, restaurants and transport for you, there is room service and a parking lot, and the hotel says its common spaces are good spots for remote work.
There is no spa here. Los Altos Resort, the sister hotel nearby, has the Orquidea Spa if you want a massage, and we can book it for you.
Location and getting there
The hotel is on the Manuel Antonio hill, 100 m west of Hotel La Mariposa, with the national park and the beaches down the road. The hotel arranges waterfall trips and ocean outings, and we build the rest of your days around them with a private transfer to the door.
