It depends on your specific needs. Please contact us before booking so we can discuss the property layout and ensure it will be a comfortable fit for you.

We offer concierge assistance and provide a detailed digital guidebook. Optional add-on services include mid-stay cleaning, massage therapy, and private yoga sessions.

Location & Getting Around

Where are the villas located, and do we need a 4x4 vehicle?

Luxury in the Jungle is located at Finca Verde, near Platanillo in the Southern Pacific region (about 20 minutes inland from Dominical). A 4×4 vehicle is not required to reach the property.

Platanillo has convenience stores and a pharmacy for essentials. Dominical (20 minutes away) offers larger supermarkets, health food stores, beaches, and restaurants. Guests receive a digital guidebook with our top local recommendations.

Main roads are paved and well-maintained, though mountain roads can be very curvy. Drive attentively, especially on dirt roads where you may encounter potholes, pedestrians, or wildlife.

Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, and contactless payments (like Google Wallet) work in many places. However, it is highly recommended to carry clean US $20 bills or Costa Rican colones for tips, tolls, and small vendors.

Spanish is the official language, but English is widely spoken at hotels, restaurants, and tour companies. You can manage comfortably with English, though a few basic Spanish phrases are always appreciated.
