Travelled with family

My stay at Hotel Pumilio was nice, it had a small, boutique hotel feel. The property is situated in a jungle like oasis be prepared for iguana sightings, a cool bird or two also. Staff were generally helpful (Adrian and JP were standouts during our 1st visit to CR). My 12 y/o daughter and I stayed in the KAL suite w jacuzzi. The room was spacious, clean and sufficient for our 5 night stay. We had an outdoor seating area where the jacuzzi was but we did not use the area at all because mosquitos. Be sure to take repellent (I used Tea tree oil which worked for us). The stay wasn’t issue free but overall I would recommend if you are looking for a jungle retreat close to Jaco beach (less than 10min uber ride). The hotel does provide transportation to and from SJO which is great but you will pay a premium. Several uber drivers I met during my stay said they provide airport transport for much less so do some research if you can. They have a spa I did not try it out. I had breakfast on one morning and it was good. Oh and the chilled welcome glass of wine was a nice touch too.
