We didn't plan to stay here but saw the sign on the beach so we climbed up the mountain  to have a look and hey what a place!  Sure you need to climb up for 20 minutes as this is really off the beaten track but the set up is a true delight. The rooms are basic with a table and benches, fresh water is provided in each room and you need to share the bathroom. We were lucky to stay in the family cabin which has a first floor area to chill out in.The double bed has a mosquito net, there are no windows so you are in direct contact with the jungle which i loved. The owner is a Dutch chef  so his food is very tasty, also for vegetarians. He is a very happy easy going guy(who wouldn't be in this enviroment!) and loves his music and singing! There are a couple of great views nearby of the gulf and a fair amount of wildlife, we were lucky to see a family of wild boar  nearby as the night was coming in. Regrettably we had to leave the next day but i would go back without a doubt and for longer!!

Fantastic fantastic and fantastic!!!

I have nothing but wonderful things to say after my 3 day stay at the Ka'Kau Jungle Cabinas. It was an enchanting and memorable experience, and one that I would highly recommend to anyone who appreciates and admires nature. The owner has created a beautiful place for people to view the jungle and its flora and fauna. You can tell a lot of thought has been put into positioning the cabinas for maximum effect and each cabina offers a slightly different but equally spectacular view of your surroundings. One of my more memorable experiences was watching families of 2 different types of monkeys from my balcony! The other truly impressive aspect of Ka'Kau was how amazing the food was. I opted to eat dinner there and it was always delicious, well seasoned, and money well spent. In general I thought the pricing for everything (the lodging w/ breakfast and the dinner) was a bargain and I left feeling like I got more than what I paid for. I appreciated that the pricing made this wonderful experience accessible to everyone. Overall I would highly the Ka'Kau Cabinas for anyone who is looking for a tranquil place to unplug and get up close and personal with the untamed jungle. The owner has created an atmosphere where its very easy to relax and unwind. When I left I felt super tranquil and that I had just experienced something that was completely unique and I was actually sad to go. In my mind those are all the signs of a good vacation! (PS I am an avid bird watcher and there are some interesting species here such as Riverside Wren, Scarlet Macaw, and Chestnut Backed Antbird)

Spectacular Jungle Experience

Not your run-of-the-mill joint. Lots of sweat equity -- and it shows. Capuchin monkeys swinging branch to branch at breakfast? What’s not to love? But as fabulous as that was, I'll probably remember my long conversations/discussions/agreeings-to-disagree with the domesticated animal (that is, the human running the place) more than my mere glimpses of the ones in the wild.

素晴らしい! Already referred a few people here...

This place is absolutely amazing! Yes you have to love being in the jungle but if you do, it's great! We were glad we booked some nights here since we didn't have time or money to go to Corcovado. And we think it's just as good! The cabins look very good and all have different views or decks to watch the wildlife. We were welcomed by Bart, one of the owners, and he made us feel like home. Bart took us on a morning jungle hike as well and served us delicious breakfast after. So we had a great time and I recommend staying a couple of nights, because if you're there for the wildlife you will definitely see a lot!!  
For us, there was nothing we really didn't like. Just be prepared you have to walk up the hill, it's in the middle of the jungle, it's somewhat primitive and it can rain really hard, which all was no problem for us and part of the experience. 
One tip to get there: let the bus or taxidriver drop you of at the busstop for playa cacao and take the boat. There's one 88 year old guy with a small boat who will do this for 1000 colones per person. Or there's a restaurant at Playa Cacao who will do this for free if you eat and/or drink at their restaurant after (great food). Others are a little bit more expensive. Just wait until they show up or ask one of the locals who know or who can call one of them.  



This is a jungle experience

We stayed here for 4 days and had an amazing time & jungle experience! Since it was 'Semana Santa', everything else was full booked, except Ka'Kau. We booked only one night and planned to go further the day after. 
We were only one hour at the cabina's and immediately changed our booking to a stay of 4 nights!! 
This place is ENCREDIBLE! You're litterally in the middle of the jungle,parrots & toekans fly over, howler monkeys wake you up....
This is only the beginning, the food Dennis served us was more than incredible! We're travelling for 4 months now and still we tink about the great food he served us!
Don't doubt to stay in this place!! Do read the "how to get here"-instructions!!

To the German reviewer: if you book a place that's called 'Jungle cabinas' and which is located in a part of a rainforest and it actually is RAINYseason, It's kind of obvious it might rain and things get wet, paths get muddy... Next time stay @ home!

I am NOT a friend of the owners, I do NOT get paid to write this! I just really loved this place and it's been one of the best experiences in Central-America I had...
