I can't t say enough about the professionalism and hospitality of the woman who runs this place. She did everything to help me get around and figure out things. And her breakfasts are superb. The place itself is also really nice. The bungalow was immaculate (no mean feat in the jungle). The beach is just a brief walk away. Do yourself a favor.

I gave 3* because I don’t think there is value for money here. Also the property is situated over 25mins walk from the centre of Cahuita and the National Park, along a stony and dusty road. It is safe at night, if dark in places. The bungalow is beautifully fitted out and very comfortable with good shower, plenty of hot water and good ceiling fan. No a/c but I didn’t miss it. Excellent mosquito net which you must use as I got bitten the night I didn’t use it despite netting on windows. The odd grasshopper, cricket and baby gecko in the bathroom didn’t bother me. The grounds are lovely. Breakfast (a plate of fruit and a hot dish) was beautifully served and adequate though you had to ask for more as more was not offered. Parsimony? Frugality? I don’t know which. At this price there should have been a buffet breakfast, even if only 3-4 people (as only 3 bungalows). Julie was welcoming and helpful but there are lots of rules: indoors no smoking, no sun lotion, no insect spray, keep the wooden surfaces dry. All make sense but there is a certain uptightness, constraint and restraint. I enjoyed myself but next time I would stay more centrally and in a hotel which gives better value.

Hello David!
I am sorry that you did not fully enjoy your stay at Coral Hill Bungalows. Also, sorry you felt there were too many rules and regulations. :-( Concerning the no smoking indoors, that is a law that is countrywide in Costa Rica (Ley 9028). As far as keeping wood surfaces dry (bathroom vanity) and no spraying of insect spray, etc., our bungalows are constructed from a special wood that can no longer be forested and we take pride in keeping our bungalows and their wood surfaces as pristine as possible.
I do sincerely hope you are enjoying the rest of your holiday in this beautiful and diverse country.
All the best,

Julie (owner)

We loved our week at Coral Hill Bungalows. Julie is a fantastic host: easy to communicate with, helpful suggestions, friendly, attention to detail. Our bungalow was clean, well maintained, and pretty. Breakfast was substantial and tasty. I loved all the flowering plants on the grounds. Also, Cahuita is a good location for exploring the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica.

Had a lovely stay at coral Hill, the garden is beautiful and Julie was a great host! She helped me out booking transfer to the AirPort and is very knowlegdable. The breakfast was very tasty and different than usual in Costa Rica. The bungalows are something special, the bathroom was the best we had on our trip! Loved the garden with all the animals, several sloths and monkeys in the garden! Because the beach closest isn’t really equiped for swimming we kind of missed a swimming pool...
Thank you Julie for all the great care!

We stayed for 17 nights. Julie was a great host with lovely breakfasts to set you up for the day. The bungalows are very spacious and immaculately cleaned every day with clean towels daily. Beach towels also available.

It rained a lot and the umbrellas come in very handy.

Wonderful wildlife on your doorstep including sloths, monkeys, snakes, frogs, iguana.

Perfect location for exploring Cahuita. We had a car and went to all the local beaches including Puerto Viejo and Playa Negra.

Cahuita National park well worth a visit. We walked whole thing there and back and see lots of wildlife Including howler monkies, raccoons, squirrels, agoutis and of course sloths.

Favourite restaurants El Rincon del Amor, El Purgatorio, Sobre Las Olas. Reggae bar good for drinks as is Cocos Bar.

Finally, last word goes to the resident dog, Hunter. Being a dogwalker it made my day having a play and fuss with this lovely dog everyday.

Highly recommend this wonderful accommodation.
