Congo Bongo EcoVillage Costa Rica

Excellent facility, you will have an own house with separated bedrooms. Space between the houses is large so you feel you are alone in the park. Wake up with jungle sound. Bungalow has its own BBQ and outside shower (over and above two inside bathrooms). Free laundry service and excellent support from the staff. We had an excellent stay over there. Place to go back

We knew the stay would be like glamping so we were prepared for being outdoors and being ok with bugs and no air conditioning. Very kind hosts and they also provided free laundry services which was very convenient and helpful. It was a different and enjoyable experience to sleep outside with the sounds of nature, hear and see the different wildlife, and take an easy walk to the beach which often was very private.

Amazing place! Such a beautiful house! Living for a few days in the middle of the forest, seeing moneys, a sloth and butterflies. And great service from all kind people making our stay unforgettable.

Wonderful, exceptional accommodation in the middle of the jungle. Very lovingly designed and well-equipped houses with an open kitchen. Experiencing the jungle up close was a unique experience. The owners are very nice and helpful and can always be reached via Whatsapp if you have any questions or need help. The whole complex is very well maintained and the beach was a 10 minute walk from our house along a woodland path lined with artwork. We loved it there.

This is an amazing place to stay - literally immersed in the rainforest surrounded by the sound of birds, monkeys and a whole orchestra of cicadas. This eco village was founded as a family business and we were made so welcome. The friendlies of the local people running the village was reflected by the friendly vibe overall of Manzanilla

Amazing ecologically thoughtful coastal paradise! Beautiful plants all around you, including massive trees.|Very comfortable, very private. |Well appointed for all your needs, including cooking! |Showers inside and outside. Perfect for coming back from the beach which is just minutes through the lush tropical forest. |Great for birds and mammals!! Variety of monkeys and sloths!|Beach was great. Manzanillo town is just big enough for groceries and restaurants/bars, and very walkable. |Stargazing was wonderful! Nature Park with reef is nearby, also walkable from Congo Bongo!! |Dan, Marisol, and Maasai are the greatest hosts ever!!!!|We are certain to return soon.

Wonderful stay, room was clean and private. But It's time to change the mattress, but it's not terrible. Walking distance to town and beach. Beach area was clean. Had howler, spider and capuchin monkeys as well as fireflies during the night. Would definitely stay here again. Really enjoyed the howler monkey wakeup calls in the morning.

Congo Bongo is the perfect blend of indoor/outdoor eco living. I loved listening to the dawn chorus of parrots, toucans and howler monkeys. This is a birding paradise! The hosts have created a village of houses separated by trees and shrubs that create habitat for wildlife. The hosts understand how to create a restorative place filled with beauty, art, respect for the land and welcoming for people. This is one of the best places I have ever stayed.
