Our stay at Dream Contentment Hotel was truly unforgettable. David, our host, was incredibly kind and welcoming - he went out of his way to show us sloths, monkeys, and other incredible local wildlife, making our experience feel magical from the very start. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, fresh, delicious, and a perfect start to each day. One of the biggest highlights was the direct access to the beach. Whether you’re looking to relax or catch some waves, it’s an ideal spot for surfing and enjoying the ocean. The whole vibe of the place is peaceful and beautiful, and Carmen’s hospitality made it feel like home. We left feeling so relaxed and happy. We can’t wait to come back !

The room was very large and clean with great views. The beds were very comfortable. The property was well-maintained and the surroundings were beautiful. It was very quiet and serene. The pool was lovely and very clean. The beach was nearby. It is not good for swimming as the waves are too rough but it's nice to go in and get some salt water and jump the waves. There are many birds in the area. The macaws flew over the property quite often. Carlos was very kind and helpful. There is a little bar where you can get a glass of wine or a bottle of beer but that is the extent of it. The owner has put a lot of his heart and soul into this property and it shows. There are displays where you can learn about his background and there are little model ski gondolas which go up and down and track and are fun to watch. There is beautiful lighting in the gardens at night. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

Our stay at this hotel was nothing short of incredible. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the wildlife was truly special — we even had a sloth named Lola living in the tree next to our balcony! Toucans and other birds dropped by throughout the day. The infinity pool is another highlight, offering a peaceful retreat where we could relax and watch the stunning sunsets each evening. What truly made our experience exceptional, however, was George. From the moment we arrived, he welcomed us with warmth and made us feel at home. Throughout our stay, he was always available to provide local insights, offer recommendations, and ensure we had everything we needed. George was a constant source of knowledge and assistance on just about anything we asked about. He is truly the heartbeat of this hotel, and his hospitality made all the difference. We can’t thank him enough for making our stay even more memorable. This place is the perfect getaway for anyone looking to experience the beauty and tranquility of nature while enjoying top-notch amenities and exceptional service. Highly recommended!

    If you like to have a quiet vacation where you feel one with nature, this place is for you. It’s different from other cities we visited yet offers some of activities other places offer and it’s cheaper here. Food was delicious and cheap. Definitely visiting again.

    Beautiful place, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere.

    Beautiful place, friendly people, relaxed atmosphere. The epitome of Pura Vida. There are three licensed restaurants worth visiting, Akachete, La Esquinita and Supper Club. All are open for dinner, La Esquinita also breakfast and lunch and Akachete for lunch. There is Matapalo main centre with police, church, school and shops, also more eateries for lunches and snacks. And Playa Matapalo 15 minutes down the road, with one hotel (Coco Beach) and many B&B's, Airbnb and lodges close to the highly rated beach. Matapalo beach apartments (Jungle House) has a pool as well. Walks along the beach can go on the ever and the sunsets are magnificent. You can walk to Dominical along the beach, there are 4 rivers to cross which is very easy at low tide and it takes about 3 or 4 hours. The flora and fauna views are incredible and it's best in the early morning. You can catch the bus or take a taxi back to Matapalo. Also, take a walk to the small waterfall in the hills, it's about 30 minutes from La Esquinita restaurant. And horse riding on the beach in the afternoon.

    Great location for exploring the area from Manuel Antonio down to Uvita and up into the mountains. There were a number of small restaurants to eat at even though we only ate at one. The beach was nice and quiet with lots of shade trees.

    It’s a great place if you want a quiet peaceful experience, away from crowds and along with the nature. There are plenty physical activities on the beach—walking, biking, horse riding.Strong current and big waves are making it difficult and safe to swim, but you can wade in or drive to safer beaches. This beach provides you with a privacy and lots of room to explore. There is a little restaurant La Kashette a couple minutes from the beach and a small store.

    The ‘included breakfast’ didn’t exist. The washing machine didn’t exist. When we queried this after an hour of negotiation between the host via a third party over the phone we were offered the use of the twin tub. We chose not to as by then we were steaming and desperate to explore. There was no hot tub (we weren’t planning to use it but it was on the details). It took us an hour to find the place because although we asked several locals they had never heard if it. Turned out it was called Jungle House not Matapalo beach apartments.

    This is a nice hotel away from the crowds in an area that is still not touristic. Only 200 meters away from a fantastic almost completely empty beautiful beach. The rooms are large and everything works the way it should, good shower, airco, fridge, etc. Literally next door there is a simple looking but really good restaurant with great fresh food! two other restaurants close by which we did not visit. also a supermarket close by.
