Bed And Breakfast Cabin In Cool Junglee Retreat

We enjoyed stepping into the jungle for a few days on our trip. The breakfast was excellent but we did not read the fine print that it is only on the first day. Dominic was kind enough to send us with some bananas on our drive. It was really fun and still close to everything if you have a car.

Our stay never happened. It was raining when we arrived. We walked around in the rain only to find out there’s no availability for us, although we received the confirmation email & it was paid for.

The property is a work in progress and not for the faint of heart. But with a sense of adventure and the proper attitude it is well worth it. Dominic was a very responsive host and went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after. He even took time to wait for us and point out a side trail to downtown that we would surely have missed on our own. The accommodations were clean and comfortable and breakfast was beautiful and tasty.

Despite what seemed a very promising destination according to the announcement, unfortunately the actual offer was far from what I expected! It was publicized (with a map location) as an 8-10 minute walk from the beach but the actual address turned out to be a 1h 20 minute walk to the nearest beach! Even to do groceries, it was stated that there was no need for a car but in fact, it was isolated (i.e. 15-20 minute drive out of town on country roads & no other guests present!!) and required either expensive taxis or cheaper moto-taxis, which I was told were difficult to guarantee because of unreliable drivers! My initial exchanges with one of the hosts via VRBO were excellent, and I was told breakfast was included in the accommodation price. Upon arrival, I discovered that that person was in fact living overseas and on day 3, I was told by the host on-site that breakfast was only offered for the first 2 days. After a WhatsApp exchange with the host on-site re: the misleading information about the location (it even mentioned beach access and ocean views!!) & the total lack of autonomy, he proposed 3 other breakfasts over the course of the 15-day visit as compensation. He claimed that VRBO had made the mistake and that he was not responsible for the error in location. I chose to leave and rent elsewhere - there was no offer of reimbursement.

Nice place, nice people.

Rustic simple accomodations in a lush setting. Our rate included a lovely breakfast brought to our little balcony each AM as Billy the goat would occasionally pass nearby. Internet was good, so was the bed. Some neighors liked their music too loud and too late on the weekend but we always travel with earplugs so no problem. An older review mentions the condition of the road not being suitable for four-wheel drive. That makes no sense to me, yes it's a secondary road but our front wheel car had no issues with it, even when wet; must have been a city folk. If I were to change anything about the accommodations I'd add more comfortable seating and better lighting because my wife and I both enjoy reading but in the bigger picture the value received for what we paid was well worth every peso.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property is beautiful and Dominic has some really exciting plans for the near future which will be great! They served us a great local breakfast and gave great advice.

This is a lovely place for the right people, and the hosts are completely wonderful and accommodating! The best part of the trip was the company of all the animals -- dogs, baby sheep, and baby goat. I learned the difference between traveling and vacationing. This is a traveling opportunity to live within the community and meet the local people. I'm a vacationer who prefers a condo or hotel room to this adventurous bungalow. There are many positive qualities to this retreat if you enjoy a more primitive environment. This bungalow is private, and the staff is very polite and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure that we were as comfortable as possible. There was a chef on the premises, who made us a delightful 4 course meal. Breakfast was served promptly at 9:00, and the papaya is the best I've ever had! My discomfort was with the insects. It started the 2nd day when I cleaned the bathroom and found a 5cm (2 inch) tarantula behind the toilet. I do not like bugs, and the ones there are very large. My husband almost stepped on an 18cm (6 inch and 1/2 inch wide) centipede in the bathroom a couple nights later. Whenever I stepped on the floor or went into the bathroom, I was very aware of looking for insects before I put down my feet. This property was not what I wanted or expected, and that's why I did not have fun. However, for the right people, this place can be an amazing adventure!

We enjoyed our stay at Jurassic Park. Dominic was so helpful and the lovely Helena made us a delicious breakfast. The only scary part was the road leading to the bungalow- we seriously worried about damaging the rental car. Other than that, it’s an experience not to be forgotten.

Marcel and I spent 2 nights at Jurassic Park. We were very comfortable and happy there. Very clean. Helena and Dominic helped us connect with fantastic daily activities. They offer a delicious breakfast that was so much more than I expected. This is a place we will love to go back and stay for more days. Thank you for your hospitality!!.

Our stay at Jurassic Park was quite short bit we had a really nice experience. Coming home from Las Terrenas (we have to admit it's a bit far when you don't have a car but you can always take a motoconcho!) we could always relax and chill out in the quiet environment. The pool is great and we enjoyed the Glühwürmchen at night in the jungle like garden. The breakfast was immense!! Thank you a lot
