Summary: Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Sitting in the jungle at night in the open air, surrounded by birds and monkeys. An awesome trail to a very chill beautiful beach, not as crowded as in puerto viejo. Great service including laundry. Nothing!

Cheryl May 13, 2025 03:36:00 AM

Summary: We love the outside sitting area, having coffee with the monkeys was a highlight! The rooms have everything you need including the kitchen! The staff was amazing, attentive to every need. Full size frig was perfect for our fruit and beverages. Love the blender and used the panini press for avocado toast. It was perfect. The walk to the beach is easy. Definitely felt secluded even though there are other units! We will be back! Definitely worth the drive! Small beach chairs we could carry to the beach! We used the noodles!

Krystal Feb 27, 2024 01:26:13 AM

Summary: The River Dream House is in a beautiful setting right in the middle of the rainforest, with easy access to the beach and town. The staff were all so welcoming and answered any questions we had regarding the area. We would definitely stay again!

Summary: Staff are wonderful, wildlife amazing. I have been coming to Costa Rica for over 18 years and will only stay at the Congo Bongo. If you love nature and wildlife, its the most amazing place to stay.

Summary: Beautiful location. We loved everything about it, except there is no hot water for showers that wasn’t mentioned and the place needs a new refrigerator as it hardly kept drinks cold nor ice frozen. As far as cleanliness, ambience, decorating, the entire ecovillage is amazing. Other than the air co ditioned rooms you are living outside which we loved! We only stayed in the air conditioned room one night because it was so comfortable sleeping in the bed with the mosquito netting. And there were no mosquitoes at all, anywhere!!

Summary: Great place to stay on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Congo Bongo is a special way to experience the rainforest, see wildlife, and relax. Loved hearing and seeing the howler monkeys making their presence known while sitting in the open air accommodations.

Amanda Jul 3, 2023 11:39:39 PM

Summary: You are IN the jungle. Loved the seclusion, path to the beach, daily laundry service (!!!), comfy beds, views, sounds, outdoor shower, recycled art, fans helped keep the mosquitoes at bay, ac was a lovely bonus… I could go on and on. Somehow it’s even better than the pictures. 10/10

Summary: This was our second time staying at the River Dream House and we enjoyed it just as much, if not more, the second time. I think it helped us to relax a bit knowing what to expect, this definitely isn't a resort atmosphere with pools and swim-up bars, which is exactly what we love about spending a portion of our trip here. We love that the River Dream House has the gorgeous open living area upstairs, and has the 2 bedrooms with AC for more comfortable nights. The property and walk to the beach are gorgeous, and we love walking to Manzanillo for food. Manzanillo is the end of the road in the Caribe Sur region and we love the vibes of the area. We plan to always include a stay at the Congo Bongo River Dream House when we visit Costa Rica. Thanks for adding so much to our experience visiting Costa Rica! We initially wanted to try a different house at the Congo Bongo, but we are wimps and strongly prefer having AC in at least 2 rooms so we can sleep and dry out a bit. Not really something to improve per se, but if there were other options with multiple rooms with AC we would welcome trying another house, though we really love the River Dream House.

Summary: So glad we stayed here. The house is beautiful, the location is perfect. Walking through the jungle to come out to a deserted beach each morning was amazing. Everyone was very nice and helpful from doing our laundry to arranging a last minute jungle hike. About a 15 minute walk into the small town of Manzanillo. Congo Bongo is by far the best place to stay!

Boris Apr 18, 2022 05:26:00 AM

Summary: Warm welcome from Marisol. House very clean. Perfect location in the jungle. Monkeys, Aras and Sloths directly at our house. Wonderful way to the beach. Nothing
