This property is a doorway to nature's paradise. Being set in jungle with an open living theme there is nothing to not love about Congo bongo. The cry of howler monkeys at 4am followed by the jungle waking up to the evening cry of the toucan nature is all around. The ambience is complimented by the warmth and friendliness of the people who call this place home.

This is a true eco lodge in the middle of the costa rican jungle. A lot of pride went into creating this space. Masai and Daan take excellent care of you and the facility and surroundings are spectacular. A very unique experience!

A great jungle stay!

Posted 31 Jan 2022 on Hotels
An amazing cabin in the middle of the jungle. All the jungle noises are amazing and you really feel like you’re sleeping amongst it. A lot of wild life around and we saw sloths on the property which was a bonus for us. Direct access to a lovely beach and sea. A perfect stay and would recommend to others.

Best place I have ever stayed

Posted 13 Apr 2021 on Hotels
Coco Bongo was one of my favorite places I have EVER stayed in! This place was AMAZING! I loved it so much and was so greatfull for such a welcoming staff. This place was litterly like sleeping in the jungle! You could hear all the jungle noises from your room and you could also hear the monkeys in the morning! It is located a bit far away from other things but nothing more than a bike ride away. The staff was extraordinary and went above and beyond my expectations. As a solo female traveler, this place was absolutely safe. Marisol, one of the workers, also checked up on me to make sure I was ok wich was something I had never experienced at any other place I have stayed. She was absolutely Amazing and very attentive. I will never forget this place. It was absolutely extraordinary and i recomend it to anybody visiting the Manzanillo area.

Absolutely amazing if you want to be in close contact with the jungle. Tucans flying over our head and troops of howler monkeys traveling thru the canopy when we were sitting on the patio, plus much more. 5 minutes walk to the beach. The lady keeping the property was super nice. We stayed in the Big Dream House and one of the bedrooms had parts of the side netting missing and some creature got in during the night and rummaged through my clothes - fun for us but coul be scary for some. Hot water was sketchy at most, wifi good for checking emails but forget uploading pics or anything similar. Overall great experience.
