Villa Lapas Jungle Village

This has got to be one of the worst places I have ever stayed. I was with a photography group so had no choice over the accommodation. I would have left straight away if I was with my husband. I was originally assigned room 143 and it was so grotty I complained to the group leader. The bed base was sat on visible serrated plasterboard, filthy and the furniture just fit for a bonfire. This was apparently one of the non -refurbished rooms. After complaining I then got 147 which was apparently refurbished. It was very marginally better but no electric sockets - just one behind the bed and when you moved the bed to plug in to the socket a huge screw came out of the wall. It was still filthy! There were huge gaps all around the door and I blocked off the bottom as best I could with towels but a multitude of creatures could have got in! I was very nervous. However, I didn't expect to be sharing the room with a bat that unknown to me, when it had finished defecating on my bedsheets whilst I was sleeping, took refuge in my rucksack to sleep which was open but off the floor on the other bed. I had no idea and put my hand in the next morning and was bitten by an angry bat. Since then I have had three days of extreme stress and anxiety because of the rabies risk. Was swiftly taken to a private hospital by my tour guide at my expense but they and 6 other hospitals in San Jose didn't have any rabies boosters!! Now flying back to the UK i have to visit a Tropical Disease clinic in London asap missing my connecting flight home to make sure I am rabies free... Quite frankly I am terrified. I know I didn't bring the bat in as I am meticulous about closing my rucksack as I am insect phobic. It must have already been in the room. If you value your health don't stay here!!!

Danilo was great he was very nice. Some of the waiters and waitress has an amazing service and always friendly and looking for the needs of the guests. Thank the place has amazing green areas, and pool was great as well. Food could improve. But it was good as well

Friendly young staff

Rooms run down, blood stain in blanket, door to bathroom stuck no small towels provided, etc

The location and grounds were beautiful. The rooms could use updating and my room smelled like bug spray. That was the only negative. I would still consider coming back because the rest was fantastic.

Located in the middle of the jungle, it is surraunded by amazing nature. Macaw parrots were nesting on the tree next to the pool, and iguanas were everywhere. The food and coctails served were also nice!
