Teva Jungle Hotel

I stayed here for 3 nights in a shared bunk bed room. Luckily I was by myself all but 1 night. The rooms weren’t the most comfy and there is not air conditioner. I think you get what you pay for though. The location and property itself is beautiful!!! There’s all kinds of wildlife around! So beware, bugs may end up in your room.

✅ - Good location, between Manuel Antonio and Quepos. Buses pass every 15 minutes in both directions at a stop right in front, so getting around is very easy; - Food from the restaurant is INCREDIBLE, well worth trying; - I stayed in a female room with 4 beds and there were towels, which isn't always the case in hostels; - There are sockets near all the beds; - Showers and toilets were always clean and the shower has hot water; - The facilities are beautiful, you see wildlife all the time. I only stayed two days and saw beautiful birds, iguanas and macaws; - Well-equipped kitchen. The flame on the stove is a little weak, though; - Very attentive staff; - The pool area is great, both for relaxing and for those who want to work or train outdoors. ❌ - My mattress was very soft and I'm used to harder mattresses, but for two days it was fine! I think it would only be a problem if you stayed for more than a week; - The fan in the room is weak.

This place is extremely clean, friendly and accommodating. The restaurant met all our dietary needs and the drinks were great. On our last day, we had brunch with the bottomless sangria - delicious! The pool was perfect on a hot sunny morning, and the washrooms in the common areas were always clean and functional. Staff gladly moved our room further from the bar for a quieter stay, and provided an extra pillow on request. Emily at reception, the various bar staff, and staff Allan were particularly kind and helpful. The rooms could use more hooks or something to hang clothes on, and cups in the bathroom. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Drove by the hostel, and it is even prettier in person than in the photos! Unfortunately, due to oversight entirely on my part, I couldn't make my reservation and no showed. Madelyn reached out via WhatsApp and expressed concern for my well being, and when I asked about the possibility of a refund she reacted quickly and emphatically. I was overwhelmed by how kind of a gesture this was! I hope I get the chance to stay at Teva in the future. Big thank you to Madelyn and the rest of the staff for making me feel valued.

For anyone looking for an amazing accommodations in Manuel Antonio I can highly recommend Teva Hostel!! I just spent the last 9 nights of November here, as I had taken my son to my favourite travel destination (Manuel Antonio, CR) for his 8th birthday! This was the fifth time I had been to the area in the last 14 years...And my second stay at Teva, the reason i keep coming back to Manuel and area are the people! The people have been genuinely gracious, friendly and extremely competent. The staff at Teva treat me like family, I have stayed a total of 30days at this hostel, so i fell like "I should know".... And I do. You will experience the same appreciation for the staff and grounds of the hostel, it's beautiful jungle surroundings, a perfect pool and a dynamite restaurant brings this place into more a resort feel rather a hostel as promoted. Added binus your constantly able to meet others from all over the world when staying at Teva, my experience anyway! ||The restaurant serves up amazing Israeli/Moroccan influenced cuisine with plenty of delicious options for all your dining needs... You' will find your bar tender's ability to mix all your favourite drinks "on point"! Dont miss the daily 2 for 1 happy hour...||The front of house staff (management) have always made themselves available for my needs. To the point of even purchasing a cake and organizing a birthday song and celebration for my 8 year old on our most recent stay. I was truly touched by the efforts all the way around. ||You will also notice the maintenance and gardeners constantly keeping the property in it's best standing. The grounds are immaculate with many local flowers and plants to enjoy! Thanks Allan and Freddy for all your hard work ...||This place is my second home! And if you dont believe me, try it for your self... You wont regret it one bit! Love it, miss it, and cant wait to go back!||Not to mention all the amazing animals that are constantly showing up on the property. We saw a sloth, five massive iguanas, six parrots at one time, two toucans, a party of howler monkeys, many bird species... Honestly no need to even do the National Park... Its so cool... ||Aaron the Canadian

The amenities, such as the restaurant and bar, were fantastic with excellent service. The food was delicious, and the bar had a great selection of drinks, making for an enjoyable experience. However, the rooms were quite disappointing. They were very dark and lacked proper ventilation, making the stay a bit uncomfortable. If the rooms had better lighting and airflow, it would significantly improve the overall experience. Regarding the hike, it was incredibly challenging, despite its short length, be prepared for a tough trek. Overall, it's a nice place, but with some adjustments to the rooms and a bit of a warning about the hike's difficulty, it could be even better.

Great location, 7 minute drive to an amazing beach with legendary sunsets and a 10 minute drive to the national park! The service here is AMAZING! Great staff at reception, great cleaning and friendly restaurant staff! The food and coffee at the restaurant is very good! We booked the private room with AC and it worked great. The room we felt was a bit small for the price and could use maybe a few more hooks to hang things or a better place to put your luggage! However the price is worth it when you can see 20 monkeys just hanging around the trees next to the pool. It was incredible!!

Old lady hippie traveling alone couldn’t have chosen a better spot. Super friendly staff, and even though they have dorm style rooms for groups of traveling young people, they enforce quiet time at 10 pm. Was picked up there for a tour of Manuel Antonio park and had a great time. Oh, and the food in the hotel restaurant was excellent. Saw a sloth right outside my room first morning. It’s small, no tv, which is fine with me, and clean and comfortable and quiet and surrounded by gorgeous jungle and connected to lots of walking trails. Hi, Alan and Oscar!
