Howler Monkey Hotel

A little jewel in a quiet location. Cabuya is really quite a place, I don't think you would find yourself here for any length of time by.mistake so if you find yourself at this hotel then you should soon realise why. Incredible wildlife and truly stunning views and sunrises. Jim the owner was helpful and interesting to chat with. We stayed at three different locations around Costa Rica and I miss them all but if I could choose one to return to then Howler Monkey Hotel would be it.

the tranquility

very inmotivated host. In comparison, much better, nicer, cleaner accommandation is availible for a third of the price.

You either like this place or you don't. We liked it a lot. Don't expect a place that is 100% perfect but if you like to be in the jungle with large trees around you, if you like the sound of the Howler Monkeys in the morning, if you like a beautiful sunrise at the beach (rocky) or want to see the moon rising above the sea in the evening then this is the place for you. It is quiet. Enjoy the swimming pool and prepare your own food in your kitchen. The rooms are clean and Jim is a nice person who'll help when you ask him.

Amazing Location, directly at the beach with lots of green plants and trees. The cabins and the pool are well taken care of and the whole property feels like a green oasis. We saw lots of lizards and other animals.

The swimming pool was nice and cool.

The place was badly run down. The hotel was not in my opinion value for money due to its condition and what was offered.⁸9

It's a deeply peaceful place, with nice gardens around a wonderful pool. The lurched had everything we needed to prepare meals . The owner, Jim was helpful with directions and a blender to make fruit smoothies. It's quiet and the howler monkeys come through the yard twice a day the other travelers were also friendly and fun to converse with I enjoyed kayaking 3 times on a very mellow bay, and even visited the little Cabuya Cemetery.

The beach directly in front of hotel is quite rocky and shallow even at high tide, so one needs to walk or drive down the beach to swim easily.

The bed was comfortable, the owner of the place is really nice and there is a perfect area set up for watching the sunrise or the stars by the beach.

I don’t have a car so it would be nice if they sold coffee or some snacks

The place is deeply relaxing., being only 50 M from the ocean. Though the water is quite shallow, only swimmable at high tide. The pool is very nice, with some shade all the time. There is a troop of howler monkeys that passes over in the trees a couple of times a day. . I enjoyed using the kayak to go to a small island nearby. The owner, Jim, was helpful about restaurants and other places to visit. The grounds are shady and pleasant, with friendly dogs to enjoy. It's close to a couple of waterfalls. The beds were also comfortable, with plenty of ventilation in the room. Kitchen facilities are basic, but serve for preparing most meals. It's a great value and I will come back whenever I can.

Shallow water and rocky beach, so you need shoes.

such a hidden spot with jungle feeling right next to the pacific. Nice dogs

Right on the beach

The bathroom was downstairs which isn’t convenient for toilet trips or showering.
