Food - Lots of Fish, but I don’t say that as a complaint. Food was well prepared and tasty, with good portions. Farm Tour - I thought I wouldn’t care at all about this since I’ve seen cocoa trees and learned about chocolate making before… it ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. Mr. Kelly, the farm manager, shared so much interesting information, showed us plants we weren’t familiar with and had us eat a much of plants/leaves I wouldn’t have thought to try.

1. Everyone at La Loma couldn’t do enough. Sophia the manager on site was just amazing with all her guest. She would go around asking if anyone needs anything or what activities she could arrange for them. This personal touch is unique and wonderful. she was always smiling and always willing to help.

there is absolutely nothing I can say really. If I just say, then it would be the check-in. it would be nice to check-in at 14:00 rather than 16:00.

In our 4 nights we stayed in 3 different bungalows. The first night (unfortunately, just the one) we stayed at the rainforest king bungalow. It was absolutely beautiful, breathtaking views of the sea, the concept of an open, quality bungalow in a lush jungle is truly unique. Beautiful design. The place is tucked away in the jungle, which is exactly what you’d be looking for in a true jungle lodge. It takes a boat ride and good little hike uphill to reach but I like that. It’s the remoteness you crave for and it guarantees the untouched nature feeling in the surroundings. The staff is very friendly. Particular thank you to Virgilio, Albertina. The food is great, the breakfast copious and always with local goods, including some chocolate nibs to add to the delicious granola and wonderful fruit bowl. They packed some fantastic lunch picnics for us to have at the beach, these were our favorite, very good, filling and always eco-wrapped. Would definitely recommend staying in this specific bungalow.

I was mislead by the pictures on their web and thought all the bungalows were as gorgeous as on their front picture (thinking the difference is more or less sea view/size) and that is what we were expecting and paying more than 400$ a night for. In the rainforest king bungalow, where we stayed for the first night, it was truly an experience for the senses and likely worth the cost. Unfortunately the other two bungalows had absolutely NOTHING to do (also that price range) with this idyllic illustration. I personally wouldn’t have paid more than 150$/night to stay there food included, let alone +400$!!! They are just nice hardwood terraces with a net tent dumped in the middle covering beds and night stands (whilst the new bungalow is an architectural work of art lost in the jungle). The family room nets urgently need changing (and upgrading) with all the holes and dirt on them. The bathrooms, specially their painted metal-roof quick fix walls scream for help. This place sells design and an open minded luxury on their web, not a youth hostel feel! We’d have never paid for what we got in the 3 nights after the new bungalow experience. Either make all bungalows like the new one or dramatically drop the prices to fit what you sell on the other bungalows! Even your staff agrees they are not in the slightest the same quality. About the volunteers as part of your staff, honestly it isn't the best of ideas (for your customer). You can feel most are not professional at all, nor does it seem like they are very eager to work. Professional staff in boutique places is key and these guys are not the way. Lastly: considering La Loma is on a tropical island and offering close to no activities in situ (hiking bridge broken), it's a true shame the rides to the beach are not included and cost 20$ return+ 5$per person entry fee each day. I realize all clients here can afford this, but it leaves a bad taste in your mouth to have to pay extra every step...

Beautiful facility. Very serene vibes. Meals were delicious and provided an unreal view.

Activities during the day were all paid activities except the chocolate farm tour. These tours were typically priced higher than those in town.

Food was incredible. Staff was incredibly attentive, helpful, and polite.

The food was incredible. Chef Victoria did an incredible job taking the food from the jungle and turning it into a fabulous meal. We also loved that they delivered chocolate tea first thing in the morning to enjoy in our hotel room. The property was gorgeous and incredibly well built. Additionally, the wild life was incredible. We saw at least a dozen capucin monkeys from our hotel room. We were overcharged but Jose gave us a refund. Thanks to the staff for an incredible honeymoon.

It's a bit far from town, so it takes an extra fifteen minutes to explore that side of the bocas. la loma organizes boats so it's very easy but you need to commit to your timeline before leaving.

Great stay at the Jungle Lodge! Definitely recommend this place. Chef was amazing, the staff coordinated some great tours (dont miss the cave and farm!) and they have an amazing cat named Minchi!

The reception/restaurant is stunning and the views of the bay are incredible. I loved that they greeted us with a delicious drink when we arrived by boat. The food was really good, presented proudly by the chef and included mostly local ingredients right from the property, including amazing chocolate desserts and even a chocolate martini! The room/cabin was beautiful and private and I was shocked that a bed high up in the jungle could be that comfortable. I was a little worried about it being open air without a/c but there were fans and breezes and it was nice. From our room we saw monkeys crossing in the trees when we woke up and saw tons of parrots and a sloth while there. We took a tour of the property farm with Mr. Kelly who has been there forever and we saw how they harvest and make their chocolate . We saw dolphins in the bay on the boat ride over to a beach place - Palmar - where we spent the afternoon, a great vibe on a beautiful beach.

There are some trails you can take on the property which I walked which could have been better marked-added to the adventure for me.

The food was absolutely delicious, with all of the ingredients coming from the on-site farm. The chefs make some of the tastiest dishes I've ever had and come and explain what they've made, it's a very nice touch. In the morning you get a surprise package before breakfast, which is usually some chocolate infused tea to share with your partner and some homemade banana bread. It's an amazing way to start the day. The views were also awesome from the main area and the people were friendly/welcoming. The farm tour we had was one of the best experiences I've ever had. I learned an incredible amount and the farmer, William Kelly, is such an interesting and warm guy. I'd highly recommend staying here as it's such an experience! :)

There's nothing I disliked, this place is simply amazing! :)

This is a really cool place in the middle of the jungle, and a very unique experience with the room being completely open to the entire jungle! We had rain when we slept and it was cool. The staff were really kind and especially Annie which helped us so much during our stay in anything we needed. The food was really good and all the ingredients are grown at the farm which we had a really nice tour in.

A bit pricey for what you get. The place is isolated and there is nothing else around (except the tours the place offers which are cool but extra cost). Also there is no WiFi in the room, only in the main area, so get ready for some bonding.

The staff was beyond remarkable. Victoria, the cheff had immaculate creations each day using local produce. On my last day there, I requested some pineapple for desert. She took this request and ran with it! She made mackerel cakes with pineapple salsa, then she made a pineapple cake with chocolate pudding and pineapple chunks. All of this was handmade. The chocolate came directly from the trees and she processed it herself and made it into a chocolate pudding. I was only expecting a small bowl of pineapple fruit. But she listened to my needs and not only met but exceeded them. Annie, the hotel manager is like your friend. She is always willing to help she was always available, and gave excellent recommendations. Sati and her partner were very accommodating and friendly and also treated you as if you were an old friend. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to relax and take in the jungle lifestyle.

Amazing location and views from the place, unbelievable food quality and services, the tour offered in the chocolate was a must.

A bit pricy, and the lunch was a bit too light.

The most amazing place which I got to stay at during my world travel!! The staff is incredible and super knowledgeable about the local fauna and flora. The Zapatilla tour there was a dream! The sizing with only four cabins makes the place even more special! I really hope to return to this paradise one day.

Everything, from room (you're in the jungle!) to meals to activities, everything was perfect.

Price was high but well deserved. Sometimes there was no hot water for shower, but it doesn't matter when you count the pros.
