Good jungle setting and pleasant place

Overall Villa Lapas Jungle Resort was a good place to stay. We had 2 rooms with breakfast, but did not pay for the all inclusive stay because we are vegetarian and don’t drink alcohol. Positives: 1. Front reception staff, restaurant, and housekeeping are all very nice. 2. The setting is beautiful and well designed facilities. 3. The playground was great for our grandson. This was a huge plus. 4. When termites invaded our room the staff helped clean it and gave us a different room nearby. 5. Breakfast was really good! We loved having local food available every morning. 6. Parking is free and available, usually near the rooms. Negatives. 1. Hot water was inconsistent in both rooms we used. 2. Everything costs extra. We were quoted 29 USD per person to eat lunch or supper. 3. The bridges trail is locked unless you pay a 30 USD fee to have a guided tour. This was a huge disappointment to us. We hike a lot as a family and selected Villa Lapas because of the chance to do some hiking together on the property. It didn’t seem right to charge hotel guests 30 USD per person to go on a hike on hotel property. 4. I’m a birdwatcher but found bird guides outside much more reasonable than the quote the hotel mentioned for me to use the one who comes to the property. Overall a good stay was good and we enjoyed our trip. We used Viator to book tours in the area, each tour was excellent.

It’s a nice natural setting, but the property is old and run down, needs upgrade. The road to the hotel is bumpy and dusty. No good beaches around. The receptionist lady was busy talking to a colleague for too long when we checked in and we had remind her that we were waiting for her service.

This place was wonderful! This place had a restaurant, a bridge of some historic background, a river, etc. This place was a 10 out of 10 near Jaco, Costa Rica. The staff was amazing and friendly. Near a lot of things to see and discover if you are a tourist! One of the best stays in Costa Rica for the price!

The property is very nice and well worth the price. However, all-inclusive should encompass any drink the customer wants, not ones off a certain menu. Also, most all-inclusives are 24-7. I didn’t mind quiet time from 10-6. However, some guests were rude and didn’t care about the rules. In general, a very nice place to stay but need more variety of food.

This hotel is such a gem! Great value for the price. We stayed with our two young children (6 and 8 years old). It is conveniently located with plenty of parking. Absolutely loved the grounds and walking to breakfast each morning and taking a dip in the pool every afternoon. Would love to stay here again.
