This staff was super helpful and accommodating. Our bungalow ended up being at the bottom of a steep hill which would have been a struggle for my mom. At 9 pm the owning and GM got staff to clean another bungalow and moved us that was closer to the car and a more mild hill. They bent over backwards to make sure our stay was great

This is a beautiful property overlooking the valley, and the bungalow had such a nice setup for a family wirh 2 kids. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, but notably the setup is to contact them through WhatsApp, with availability from morning to evening - so it’s not immediate or 24 hour support like a hotel. The pool is tiny but very sweet. The restaurant is beautiful and really a necessary amenity, bc the town is down a winding dirt road and then another 10 minutes after that. We had a couple restaurant mishaps (no eggs at breakfast, no coffee at breakfast, the meal took an hour to arrive), and the meals weren’t great, but we were grateful to sit in a nice place with a gorgeous view. Everyone is very accommodating, and we could have had dinner delivered to the bungalow too. Overall, this place is up and coming, as they build more bungalows, a real pool, some spa services, and get a reception desk going. It was real value for the money in the mean time, and I enjoyed the space, staff, and proprietor, but it’s not yet the resort experience that you may find elsewhere.

Space was beautiful and staff were very friendly. However, location was not good. We had trouble getting taxis and ubers ans tours that included transportation did not include this hotel on their route. The number provided for any guest needs was never answered either by phone or message once we arrived. The shower water temperature changed often while showering, making for an uncomfortable shower.

We only used microwave, refrigerator and coffeemaker. Its a small kitchenette not a full kitchen which is located below the staircase. Villa has lots of sun lights but no curtains. Owner is very friendly, staffs are nice. But to reach there you need a suv and good driving skill. Not easy to spot at night for firsttime visitors. Not close to any attraction or town. It has a tiny pull or hottub next to the restaurant. Overall good place if you like a quite

Our family of five stayed at Junglo Resort and Spa over the holidays and had a wonderful overall experience. While we encountered a brief challenge due to a regional power outage (completely outside the resort’s control), the manager—who is also the owner—was on site, extremely attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure the guests were taken care of!
The resort itself is new, beautifully designed, and offers stunning views. Our accommodations were very clean, and the staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and eager to help in any way they could.
We also had the opportunity to speak with the owner about his vision for the future development and expansion of the resort. It’s clear he has the right ambition and passion, and we truly wish him continued success.
We would absolutely stay here again on our next visit to La Fortuna and highly recommend Junglo Resort and Spa to others looking for a relaxing and well-managed getaway.

The rooms themself were very nice almost a bungalow type tiny house with a balcony on top. The houses are very updated and new however there were some issues with the lock and we were often waiting for help to open our bungalow. One night the AC unit broke and we lost power however the service staff did a good job in handling the situation. The breakfast in the restaurant near is not very special, not worth the price however satisfactory for convenience purposes. View from the bungalows is amazing. We stayed 4 nights and they didn’t come in and clean at all so keep in mind that. Owner was very nice and accommodating to all the power issues and overall issues with our stay.

This is a gem of a resort to stay in La Fortuna; we highly recommend it to anyone visiting La Fortuna. We loved the uniquely designed 2 level bungalow, plenty of space, with 2 balconies in the middle of a forest and gardens. We were received by Manager Bill with a welcome drink. After a long drive from Liberia and navigating a difficult gravel road for the last 5 kilometers, it was very refreshing. We actually had two separate bookings for different bungalows for two nights, but Bill was very friendly and kind enough to rearrange our reservations and gave us one home, so we didn't have to switch. The staff spoke very good English and were very helpful. The restaurant on-site had a good selection of food with some vegetarian options. In spite of the peak season, the price was low for this place - may be due to it's accessibility but Bill did say the local goverment is working on a plan to complete the gravel road - after which this will likely become a preferred place for visitors.

Brand new property with only a few reviews that were all good. Glad we went with it. It was great. It is away from the hustle and bustle of La Fortuna and it is absolutely beautiful. It is a little bit off the beaten path and up a slightly challenging road to get to, but it is worth it. You need a rental car to get here. Preferably an SUV.

We stayed for a week at Junglo. Gorgeous property but it isn't really a resort or spa. The property is stunning and the views are spectacular. The design of the rooms is modern and are more spacious than an average hotel room. The kitchenette is a really nice feature. Once you get there it is beautiful but be warned that the road to get there is in very bad condition and driving up and down every day was stressful, especially at night!! Google maps gets confused and we got lost the first night.
The staff are very friendly and kind. When I asked for things they got addressed but there wasn't much done in terms of being proactive. The rooms don't get serviced unless you ask and the correspondence on the Junglo Whatsapp was inconsistent. It was annoying to have to track someone down to ask for garbage to get emptied and to get more toilet paper.
The restaurant is nice and the food is tasty, including the cocktails. The servers and bartenders were always very friendly and went above and beyond. The menu is limited though.
There are no pools on site but 3 of the rooms have a jacuzzi. We complained because pools were advertised as a public amenity and as a feature of our room. We got a room upgrade but unfortunately the jacuzzi overflowed on one of the nights. I called and texted but no one came to help us deal with the overflow or the leaking that got into our room.
Overall, lovely place but there seems to be a lot of work to do to improve the guest experience!

Los bungalows parecen nuevos.
El baño tuvo todo el tiempo olor a cloaca y la ducha era de mNo imposible de usar.
Un poco incomodo dormir arriba y el unico baño abajo.
La escalera mal ubicada, todos nos la dimos en la cabeza.
Sin desayuno incluido .. y todo caro para comer ahi.
