â Ginger & Cacaoâ is perfectly located at just short walk to Punta Uva Beach, one of the most striking in Costa Rica. A rare place, still kept as natural as possible, with a minimum negative impact of over-development. Here is where the jungle meets the white sand beach with its emeralds waters, and the almond trees to provide a natural shade. Itâs not crowded and it's safe for swimming, kayaking and snorkeling.
In Punta Uva one feels in complete connection with nature. There is nothing more beautiful than to get on a bicycle and go for an early morning ride to Gandoca- Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. There is so much life and activity in the jungle at this time of the day. Howling monkeys call from the tree tops, butterflies, and birds flying around searching for food.
Punta Uva is a very private area, removed from the traffic and congestion in areas closer to Puerto Viejo. There are a few excellent restaurants, grocery stores, bike & tuk-tuk rentals. And if you choose, you can quickly get to Puerto Viejo, by car or bicycle.
At night, the action happens in Puerto Viejo. It might look a bit shabby, but give it some time and it will grow on you. The somewhat sleepy village turns vibrant at night, full of life and music, with the smell of food coming from all directions. Ocean-front bars blast reggae and calypso. Shops stay open till late hours.
âGinger & Cacaoâ offers an exiting and safe place to stay in the middle of the jungle, and a fantastic opportunity for a memorable experience of the Caribbean Costa Rica.
It was our first time in Coata Rica.
We were a little worried about the wild side of the country.
Staying at Ginger&Coconut was probably the best decision we made.
We were warmly welcome. The house are absolutely perfect, beautiful, clean and safe.
Zvezda, Sandra and Pablo have been most helpful and kind.
Cocles is also nicely positioned for discovering the country.
Next time we go to Costa Rica, we will definitely go back to Ginger&Coconut.
Thank you so much.
Our stay at Ginger and Cacao was nothing short of magical and has easily become one of the most favorite places Iâve ever stayed in Costa Rica â and Iâve spent quite a bit of time here.The ocean view with the cozy deck, extremely abundant wildlife, and the stunning, immaculately clean pool created a feeling of total serenity. The home and property were beautifully maintained, and every detail reflected care, intention, and love. The host and caregivers were truly top-notch â warm, attentive, and thoughtful. They respected our privacy while also being available for anything we needed. Throughout our stay, we felt completely safe and secure, which allowed us to truly unwind and be present in the enjoyment of our travel experience.The aesthetic, layout, and functionality of Ginger and Cacao are exceptional â itâs a work of art, equal parts luxurious and grounding. The location is perfect: just a five-minute walk to the beach, close to town yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful, private, and deeply connected to nature â a little slice of paradise that still feels untouched and authentic.I feel incredibly blessed and grateful to have stayed somewhere so special. Ginger and Cacao is the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. I canât wait to return! Paradise!!
We arrived at night and one of my favorite memories was waking up in the morning to a view of the ocean and a plethora of plant life out my window: toucans flying through the sky and monkey's howling in the trees. This space is so gorgeous and luxurious, the pool is stunning. and communication with the property owner was smooth. I loved the area where we stayed so much, a gorgeous beach down the road and really lovely local restaurant. I liked being out of the hubbub of Puerto Viejo but a quick ride away, and just as close in the other direction to the local town of Manzanillo. It was truly a wonderful stay, highly suggest going to the Jaguar Rescue Center while visiting!
In the middle of beautiful jungle life and very close to many beaches. The garden was amazing and the place was very clean. Lots of restaurants and shopping a short drive away.
We loved our stay!!! The villas and surroundings are beautiful. The owner Zvezda stopped by to introduce herself and welcome us. We sat around the pool every morning and drank coffee and went back to the pool in the evenings. There were less bugs than we expected, which was nice. The jungle sounds are incredible. We slept with the windows open so we could hear everything. We saw so many critters on the property. Howler Monkeys, spider monkeys, toucans, macaws, poison dart frogs, lizards. Agoutis and lots of sloths just down on the beach (in the trees). The caretaker Cesar was so friendly and helpful. We exchanged numbers on WhatsApp and he responded right away if we needed him!!! I would definitely recommend this place.5 stars
My family and I loved the location of the property. We enjoyed the privacy of the villas and the beautiful pool area. We saw monkeys early in the morning and late afternoon while the kids swam in the pool. My son spotted a poison dart frog off the patio. There was some excitement for all ages of my family. The beach was much closer than expected and there were several sodas nearby so we didnât get back in our car until our departure. The caretakers were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
Et dejligt sted med tÊt til byen og naturen. Du bor midt i naturen og oplever dyrene i deres habitat. Vi blev taget godt imod og der er altid en house keeper til stede uden de fylder for meget. Vi havde en dÞr der var i stykker der blev repeteret med det samme. De tÞmte skraldespande midt pÄ ugen og leverede nye hÄndklÊder. God service.
We loved our stay here for 2 weeks! The property is incredibly well maintained, and the hosts and property managers are fabulous. The pool cabana is a highlight and the closest beach is almost private. Because you are in the jungle, you need to be okay with all the creatures that come with it. That being said, the kids loved spotting all the wildlife!
Our stay at the property went well. We really used the property for sleeping purposes as well as breakfast prepping and did not enjoy the pool. The surrounding area is beautiful. Beaches and all were just heaven. A wonderful variation to the Guanacaste experience.
only issue I would caution folks wanting to book is to have sleep masks as light does shine through 24/7, because at night there are motion sensor lighting. This is not a complain at all. I actually appreciate that being in a mountainous setting with such lush flora and fauna has lighting.
Had an incredible stay. Place was amazing. Close to beaches and night life. Lots of wildlife in the area and at the casitas. Look forward to staying here again.
What a beautiful property! Communication with the owner was fantastic. We rented the three casitas on the property and all were perfect for our group. The grounds and pool were immaculate. The wildlife was abundant with sloths, parrots, toucans, capuchin monkeys, howlers and more. Cesar and Maribel were there for all of our needs and made us feel safe. Would highly recommend for sure!
The house on the property we stayed at is called the Ginger Cacao. The view of the jungle and ocean from the balcony is exquisite.
In the mornings you can hear and see many different birds and hear the howler monkeys in the trees nearby. We sat in the balcony listening and bird watching every day.
The pool area and cabana are shared with the other two houses but only one house had visitors who were lovely people. The pool area is gorgeous and the grounds around the entire compound are well kept.
The listing for the house we rented was confusing because we thought we were getting 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. If you count the living room as a bedroom, then I guess that is true, although the bench couch would need to be considered a bed. Thankfully my friend did not mind sleeping there and we loved the location, views, and property.
There is a convenient store and some small restaurants in walking distance and plenty close by if you are driving or take the local taxi. There is also a nice grocery store in close driving distance.
The Punta UVA beach is very close to the south and is gorgeous.
The property manager was very responsive and the care-takers lovely and helpful people.
We would visit again and stay at the ginger cacao in a heartbeat!
Our family (two kids ages 15 and 12) stayed a week here. It truly is an amazing property. Both houses were very clean and had everything we needed for a week. The owner is very easy to contact and will answer any questions you might have. She went out of her way to ensure we had a great time. Everything from setting up the shuttle to/from the airport to dinner recommendations to local attractions to visit. She is awesome!
The on-site hosts (Cesar) was also very helpful. From bringing in our bags to setting up taxis. He was awesome. We spent almost every afternoon at the pool. It is a great place to relax and take in nature. In a week we saw macaws, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, sloths and iguanas all on the property. The pool is not an Olympic size pool but perfect for a small family to relax in. Or take a nap in the awesome lounge beds.
The property is a bit from Puerto Viejo. Maybe a 8-10 min taxi ride or 20-30 min bike ride. Bike rentals are just at the bottom of the hill ($6 a day). Almost everyone rides bikes to get around. There are a few great restaurants within walking distance as well. Beach is about a 5 min walk. The climb up the road to the property is no joke! But at least and end of it you can head right to the pool to cool off!
This truly is an amazing property. I would highly recommend staying here if you decide to vacation in the Puerto Viejo area. You wonât be disappointed!
If you are looking at the photo of this property, and wondering: "can this place actually be this nice?", the answer is YES. We had an absolute fantastic stay!
This property has been cultivated to emphasize the color and beauty of the country. Waking up and seeing ocean views framed in with jungle and vibrant floral colors was an incredible part of the overall experience staying at these villas. One villa has the ocean view with the other views of the jungle. The property is in a perfect, private and gated location that only required a short walk down to the beach, restaurants and was also a short taxi or bike ride to nearby towns.
Upon arrival we were were warmly welcomed and shown around the two villas where we would be staying, the propertyâs pool and cabana area and communicated all the things we would need to know about our stay. The villas were clean, stylish and comfortable with the necessities provided to ensure our stay was amazing. Amazing experience overall!
