Congo Bongo EcoVillage

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.

We had a fantastic experience at Congo Bongo EcoVillage. We stayed in the Sweet Dream villa, which had an open air dinning room, and private rooms for us and our kids. The kitchen was self contained and behind a locked door to ensure the wildlife couldn't break in. The service was excellent, and the laundry service was particularly good. The jungle canopy around us was great, and waking up to howler monkeys some mornings was a special treat. Other mornings we had spider monkeys clambering through the tree tops. The birds and wildlife were special and it was just a short walk to the beach. Great quiet location, close to good restaurants, beaches, jungle and other facilities. Strongly recommend.

We love Congo Bongo. This was our second time staying there and it was amazing. We love the quiet and privacy. They made sure we had everything we needed and we're quick to help out if we did require something. Love the short walk to the beach and the beach is beautiful and quiet. Short walk to Manzanillo for dinner down the beach with lots of different restaurant options or a short drive to Punta Uva or Puerto Viejo. Bonus that they will do your laundry. Thanks for another great stay.

We travlelled for our anniversary trip, part of the trip we started at this resort and it blew our mind. The Long Dream House was spectacular and staffs were very nice. Masai and Oner was always in our reach with any help. The whole resort was very nicely decorated and what amazed us most is the use of resources. The walk from our Long Dream House was not 8 minutes what they told me, it was over 20 minutes, but honestly they made the whole 20 minutes walk so enjoyable with fantastic decoration. Reusung toys for kids was a great option. And the most of all we went there from NYC, living in a real forest was like a life time experience. Highly recommend!

Amazing three night stay in The Big Dream House. Masai was a very attentive host. The daily laundry service (free) was a nice touch. Saw and heard lots of wildlife from our place. One day we saw a sloth about 15 feet from the ground on the 500m walk to the beach. Very humid so bring your best mosquito repellent. We found that the fans in the bedroom were enough to keep us cool enough. Close enough to walk to Manzanillo, although you can walk the entire length of the beaches all the way to Puerto Viejo more or less. Be sure to visit the national park and find your own beach.
