Owners Simone and Vladamir have created an outstanding experience for visitors to Drake Bay. We stayed for three nights and were treated to delicious gourmet meals, exceptional tour recommendations and arrangements made for us, and a relaxing and beautiful place to stay. I would highly recommend this out of the way place for a true taste of Costa Rica. More

A great place to stay. Nice rooms and the view over the jungle are a good start. But this is topped be the most welcoming owners and their delicious dishes. More

Jumanji is a quaint combination of bungalows and rooms with a wonderful, cool, waterfall fed pool and probably the best food in Drake Bay. Owners Simone and Vladamir’s combined experience working in fine dining are apparent with the gorgeous and delicious dishes they serve. My guess is it is the best food in Drake Bay! I never ate anywhere else,... More

Jumanji is an excellent place to stay! In the middle of the jungle, but with all the comfort of modern civilization. Simone and Vladimir, the owners, are the great and the food is the best we had in Costa Rica. Thanks Simone and Vladimir for your hospitality. I hope we see each other again soon enough! More

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at Jumanji bungalows over the holidays, thanks to Simone and Vladimir's generous hospitality, advice, and delicious fresh cuisine. We were looking to be surrounded by the jungle and found just that. Jumanji is a new family venture in Drake Bay and building itself everyday. We stayed in a simple and clean decorated... More

Close to Drake Bay, a 10 to 15 minute drive or a 45 minute walk, this lodge in the jungle provides the best of both worlds. You have the feeling of being close to nature with all the sounds and sights of the jungle, yet you are only minutes away for the beach and the numerous activities you can partake... More

After visiting their website and reading all the reviews, we were looking forward to the Jumanji experience. It became a huge deception. On their website, they state to have 2 bungalows in the jungle. In fact, they only have 1. We've had a lot of e-mail contact and not once did they mention that one bungalow was destroyed due to...

Upon arrival, a personal emotional confrontation took place with these guests, which had nothing to do with Jumanji Bungalows. This was very painfull for all parties involved. Despite the fact that we offered them a full refund and another location - which they refused - and treating them with as much love as possible, they kept on complaining and expressing... More

We had been searching for a nice place to stay in Corcovardo for a while untill we found Jumanji. We didn't had any regret of our choice for this nice place! Before you come to Drake Bay, you have to realise that every accommodation in this area is expensiver than other parts of Costa Rica. For example, we had excellent... More

For anyone who really enjoys being in nature and know's how to deal with "Pura Vida" will love this place. The trip to the hotel if you travel via Sierpe is already an adventure. You can tour trough the mangrove, see crocodiles and experience the ocean from a small boat. It's nice to know that the hotel owners will pick... More
