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.

We paid for all inclusive and the drinks and food was very limited and not good. Water bottles for our room are not included i asked the bar if i could get some he said no i could drink the water from the sink in our restroom or i can purchase some from the bar, our shower water was cold even after i mentioned it to the front desk several times, the bar is only open from 10am to 10pm, no room service, no snacks, dinner ends at 9pm and there is no food available after that, they did offer a continent breakfast the first morning of our stay when i asked why they didnt have one they told me because the didnt book many of their rooms so there werent a lot of people there. Worst hotel experience we've had.

We paid a premium for the treehouse room. Looks great from the outside and it is a huge empty room, with a really comfy high bed which was great but the standard size air con unit couldn’t deal with the size of the room and it remained stuffy and hot inside. This in mind, a fridge would also have been great to keep food and drink fresh. With the size of the room it would have been great to have some shelves or ledges to put luggage on rather than stoop down to the floor to access your bag - obviously this is only if you do not want to unpack everything as their was a drawer. The treehouse was also at the far end of the complex, so far from reception, restaurant and pool it required a drive - which is fine, but there was very little parking spaces available. One could always walk as it is not that far but you would get eaten alive by the mozzies on the way there and back. For the price, you would expect a full compliment of toiletries rather than just a single 2in1shower gel and a small soap packet. The towels were changed every day which will have to mark down the eco friendliness too. We stayed three nights and the promised breakfast buffet was only available on the last day - I guess because there was a coach party arrive and the other days there was not enough guests to warrant the buffet. The provided portions on the non buffet days were slightly inadequate. Other than that, it is a beautiful, tucked away, quiet little complex.

The bugs are very bad. Its hard enjoy the food because the flies and ants are already eating before you. It wasn't many options for food. I wasn't informed of them having chicken tenders and fries until my 5th day of stay (remind you I had my 5 year old with me)
