Alma Pacifica

From Quepos head up into Manuel Antonio. After approximately 2.3km—jut BEFORE the tiny bridge and big hill—turn left into Valle Pura Vida (look for Jungle Creek Villas sign and Rio Mono signs). Go 200m and cross another small bridge, then turn Right and go another 100m until you see the yellow façade of Jungle Creek on the left. Please be sure not to obstruct the street when parking.

Each apartment has a flatscreen TV which can be used with your personal streaming services via the internet.  (There is no local cable package.)

There are mini-split AC units in each of the bedrooms, and also the living area. Please do not set below 20 degrees Celsius (68 Fahrenheit), as this may cause the units to freeze up. Electricity is expensive in Costa Rica AND we want to protect the environment, so please turn off the AC units when you’re not using them, or leaving the property for longer than 1 hour. 

There are a washer and dryer for use for the guests, as well as detergent. The laundry area is located down the steps in front of the entrance, at the end of the walkway.  Please do not put shoes or sandy clothing in the washer, as it is easily damaged. Please reuse towels when possible. Also, please use only the beach towels for the beach and pool area. Lost or damaged towels will incur a fee of $20/each.  

Parking is tight at Jungle Creek, so please be sure not to block the main road.  If the parking spaces in front of the garage are taken you are welcome to park on the right side of the road just past Jungle Creek.

The Pool and rancho are shared spaces for our guests, so please be sure to be respectful to others' right to use them.  The pool is cleaned Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays in the mornings. Please do not use glassware in the pool.

There is also a BBQ grill which you can use. The gas tank is below the grill and must be turned on prior to use--and turned off after use.  We also have a spare in case it runs out.

Jungle Creek is very secure and located in a secure area of Manuel Antonio, however please be sure to ensure the safety of your valuables and others also.

• Never give out the gate or door codes
• Lock your apartment and main gate when you leave
• Use the provided safes--the key is on a ring in the apartment near the safes
• Never leave your valuables in your car or at the beach unattended

Housekeeping is included before and after your stay. For stays of a week or longer a mid-week cleaning is also included. We encourage you to leave a tip for the housekeeper at the end of your stay--you may use the provided envelope. Thank you!

Our septic system is easily damaged, so please through all toilet paper and sanitary products in the trash bin.  

If the tank on the gas stove runs out, please let a staff member know and we'll change it out. If it's outside of normal business hours you can change out the tank using this instruction video: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uWHCOzDdDNI

The closest beach is technically Playa Vaca, which you can only reach through hiking.  The fastest beach to get to is the main public beach, Playa Espadilla. Turn left on the main road and drive 8 minutes to the end. Park where you want—not where the shady guy in the orange vest tells you to park.

Yes—the public water is drinkable in Costa Rica. 

The Costa Rican electrical and water systems are very dated. Occasionally, there are lapses in electricity, water or internet—though these are generally short-lived. If any of these services goes out for longer than 30 minutes, please inform your property manager immediately to be sure. Please also try to note if any neighbors have electricity, or if it is a neighborhood power outage.

Your concierge! She is always available to assist, and knows the best tour operators, transportation companies, guides, chefs and spa therapists in town. Please reserve well ahead of time to ensure availability. For some tours & services there is a deposit required, and no cancellations after 5pm the night before. Please ask your concierge for details.

In terms of food—no, though your concierge can help set up delivered groceries before your arrival or during your stay. In terms of cooking implements—yes. There are full cooking utensils, pots & pans, a coffee-maker, blender, microwave, toaster, stove, oven, and refrigerator.. There is also salt, pepper, vegetable oil, and paper towels.

The usual check-out time is 10:00am, and the usual check-in time is 3:00pm. If there are no other guests leaving / arriving on the day of your arrival / departure, we can be flexible with the time—however, this can only be confirmed 1 day prior to arrival.

Not if you are from North America—the plugs and electricity in Costa Rica are the same as in the U.S.—110 volt. 

There is a basic ‘mini supermarket’ halfway between Casa Sophia and the main road, called the Super Joseth. For more variety we recommend going to Quepos, to the Mini Price store, or just outside of Quepos to BM.
