Its style & design truly reflect the owner’s ideas for beach comfort. This cottage is perfect for honeymoon vacations.

The beautiful pool area, surrounded by jungle and gardens, includes a pavilion with swinging daybeds, and a leisure area with chaises and umbrellas.

The pool area is the perfect spot to see large families of capuchin and howling monkeys raiding the treetops, and to observe the amazing toucans on nearby trees.

The property is interesting to explore. It consists of authentic tropical jungle with landscaped bromelia gardens around each house, and plants with lots of colors and fragrance. The numerous cacao trees and ginger plants inspired the name, “Ginger & Cacao”.

The property is maintained by caretakers. For your service and convenience, they reside in a separate cottage on the property grounds by the gate.

‘ Ginger & Cacao” 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. It’s 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.

“Ginger & Cacao” 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.

Hope to see you soon!

Absolutely Amazing

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

Private yet so close to the beach!

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 didn’t get back in our car until our departure. The caretakers were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Fantastisk dejligt sted. Der er ro og smukt.

Et dejligt sted med tæt 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 dør der var i stykker der blev repeteret med det samme. De tømte skraldespande midt på ugen og leverede nye håndklæder. God service.

A beautiful jungle getaway!

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.

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 Ginger Cacao

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!

Amazing property

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 won’t be disappointed!

Location and Paradise Perfection

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 property’s 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!

We spent a week in this lovely spot. The caretakers keep the place immaculate. You will see bugs - you are in the jungle - but the fans and all the screens keep them to a minimum. We saw monkeys, huge iguanas, a sloth, macaws, and smaller parrots all from the deck. The pool area is amazing. Zvezda quickly responded to questions and made booking and staying a breeze.

Family vacaton

First time in costa rica. Found the property by chance on Travelocity. We were a family of 4 using the 2 houses Cacao and Ginger, which were exactly as in the pictures. The caretakers Klaudia & Adonis live onsite & are always ready to help with whatever you might need. There is a great bakery in town just 5 minutes away. Make sure you do the white water rafting, an incredible adventure. The pool was very refreshing. Sitting on the porch in the evening you could hear all sorts of wild life. We saw the biggest iguana on the property, I've ever seen, a huge yellow guy in a tree. Absolutely amazing. Howler monkey right outside the window as well. If you are looking for a jungle/beach pleace to stay, stop looking this is your place.

Jungle and ocean views, muy Bonita!

The location is fantastic and is walkable to the beach and some restaurants. It is a difficult walk up the hill to the villa, but who doesn’t need cardio! 4 wheel drive truck recommended. Also bring your own pillows as the ones at the villa are not very comfortable. There is no air conditioning. It does get hot but the views are worth the sometimes discomfort. Adonis and Claudia are fantastic! Can’t wait to go back again!! Thanks Zvezda!!!!

Punta Uva Escape

We rented both houses for a family of 4. More space then we needed but we enjoyed having multiple rooms/beds. The view from the top house was amazing and we spent several hours on the porch watching wildlife and the tropical rain come down. The pool was a welcome refresher after exploring the area all day on bikes then walking back to the property up the big hill. It was a workout but felt great:) The owner and caretakers were great. They were we friendly and responsive. They even arranged for a taxi to come us up. We had a great time! Thank you:)

Paradise on the edge of the jungle

Our family of 7 including 2 teens rented the entire property for 6 nights over the holidays. Everything was exactly as pictured in the photos. It is truly a paradise on the edge of the jungle. Zvezda was incredibly helpful and always responded promptly to any questions before and during our stay. We encountered several travel difficulties and she was able to help us locate a last minute transfer from the airport to the villas. The caretakers, Adonis and Claudia, were great. They were always there to let us in and out and help with taxis and provide clean towels. And although they could only speak Spanish and we can only speak English, Zvezda didn't mind serving as our interpreter and promptly communicated our needs with them. The location is wonderful. The villas are truly at the edge of the jungle and we were surrounded by nature and wildlife. During our stay on the property we saw toucans, lizards, a large iguana, a sloth and a group of small howler monkeys on the road to the beach. We also enjoyed a hike at Cahuita National Park where we saw many more monkeys, including the white faced cappuchin. The beach is at the bottom of the hill and was beautiful. It is a bit of a trek back up the hill, so might not be ideal for those with mobility issues. There is a great restaurant near the beach, Selvins, that is perfect for an easy lunch or dinner, with a nice variety on the menu. The food was good and well priced. We made a few trips into Puerto Viejo in the golf-cart-like taxis and enjoyed the souvenir shopping, brunch at Bread and Chocolate and some of the nightlife on New Year's Eve. Our favorite day of the trip was whitewater rafting on the Pacuare River with the Expladores company. Because there were several of us, they picked us up right at the bottom of the hill. The ride in the vans/bus was comfortable and the food they served for breakfast and lunch was quite good. Overall, our stay at Cabinas Ginger & Cacao was fantastic. Visitors do need to know that they will see bugs and lizards in the villas, but they never bothered us - and even our 15 year old who hates bugs never complained. Because of our travel issues we missed out on 2 days at the villas. I think if we were able to be there for the full 6 nights/7 days we had planned, it would have been the perfect amount of time to enjoy all there is to see and do. Our family highly recommends this rental and would jump at the chance to go back.

Wonderful vacation property!

Gorgeous property, just as pictures show. Highly recommend - Zvezda went above and beyond to have us arrive safely and get what we needed since we arrived after a week of heavy rain, which caused some plan changes. Claudia and Adonis were very nice and helpful! We had a great time! We were awoken by howler monkeys some days, soft rainforest noises others, got to see a troop of capuchin monkeys playing in the trees by the pool, saw iguanas, macaws, toucans, parrots and many other birds in the jungle surrounding the property. Even caught a sloth crossing the road! A wonderful vacation, do not hesitate to book this property!
