Mundo Milo Eco Lodge

We moved to this lodge after a night at another extremely disappointing location. Wonderful hosts, fabulous food, and very comfortable lodging. Many pleasant conversations with other travelers from all over the world. Highly recommend this lodge. Quiet area with a beautiful beach. Don't miss it when visiting Costa Rica.

I cannot speak more highly of the service I received from the owners here. I had actually been booked at a different hotel in the area, but after a very negative experience, I came to Mundo Milo to see if they had availability for me. They were incredibly kind and compassionate to me and my experience and went out of their way to make sure I felt comfortable and enjoyed my couple days in Playa Junquillal. The cabina was spacious and private, and there is a big restaurant/bar area. Without their kindness my few days here would have been ruined, thank you Leike and Michael!

A wonderfully small (seven-unit) eco-lodge run by a very friendly and accommodating pair (Micheal and Lieke). They helped with efforts to arrange ground transport to the lodge and a fishing charter, provided helpful tips on local hiking trails, provided critical updates which allowed my wife and I to connect with a last-minute baby turtle release event, and even assisted by loaning me a personal copy of their Costa Rican bird book! The pool was beautiful, spotlessly clean, never crowded, and very refreshing. Unlike the water in many other pools, the chlorine content was well-balanced and not overwhelming. Staff were charming and responsive. Plastic was almost completely absent from the lodge (bring your own shampoo). Interestingly, the pathways were swept clean daily, NOT with a loud leaf blower, but rather manually via simple rake. We stayed in the Persian #1 unit, which included a covered patio (doubling as a bird watching blind). The included breakfast was substantial. While always incorporating a yogurt and a bowl of seasonal mixed fruit, one also could add a plate-sized pancake, eggs, and seasoned rice with black beans. For lunch, we often ordered a salad - which arrived with a garnish of finely spiral-cut carrots and beets, along with cucumbers (I enjoyed the grilled chicken addition). A carafe of H2O, with limes and mint was a nice option. Diners were fantastic! The beef tenderloin steak was nicely prepared (at $22 USD, it was the most expensive offering on the menu). Tuesday is sushi night and is a big draw (although the main menu is also available). It is obvious that the chef crafts each dish with loving care.
