Thank you for your kindly comments and rating! All our guests are always more than welcome in our Boutique hotel. We work hard to give the importance that our guests deserve, especially knowing that they are sharing with us their vacation time.
Our location path which is a major plus as it is tucked away just far enough to be in wilderness but only a skip of a beat away from anything you could ever need in in the area. We love nature and landscaping lovers, nice to hear you enjoyed.
Best regards from all the staff that is very grateful that you appreciated our service that they enjoy giving our guests.
Looking forward to have you back leaping into happiness at Pumilio!

Beautiful hotel with very friendly staff
Pros:Staff. Pool. Food.
Cons:Would love to have wine by the glass available rather than by the bottle. Also availability of basic toiletries (toothbrush)
Location:Short drive to Jaco. Great if you want to be a little out of the way and not in the middle of a loud town. However can't walk to get food or anything.
Beautiful hotel with picturesque pool, extremely accommodating staff. They were always making sure we were happy, booked a great excursion for us, and went above and beyond.

Thank you for you feedback your opinion truly helps us make our guest’s experience even better and helps others that are looking for a hotel to spend their vacation. We work hard to give the importance that our guests deserve, especially knowing that they are sharing with us their vacation time, absolutely spoil to explore Costa Rica.
Sorry that the only wine by the glass we have is the welcoming glass, the hotel es too small to have a bartender serving.
Pumilio is strategically located at the edge of the jungle, perfect to explore Costa Rica like being pamper at home surrounded by nature, see the toucans, macaws and lots of birds flying naturally and the lizards walking around. Close enough to lots of activities, restaurants and things Jaco or Herradura Beaches offer.
It`s better when our guest book the tours and activities with us instead of making ahead by themselves, depending in our guests plans, likes and preferences we know which tour operator will be the best option, we take care of the schedule and can double check for the best service to our guests, we love to be part of your plans, so you can relax and explore Costa Rica like been pamper at home and for those booking tours with us we offer the free taxi to downtown.
This little spot is perfect to enjoy the pool embraced by the forest with ocean weather, like to hear you enjoyed too, especially at night lit up with torches.
Best regards from all the staff that is very grateful that you appreciated our service that they enjoy giving our guests.
Looking forward to have you back leaping into happiness at Pumilio!

Family friendly hotel with top rate staff
Pros:We liked the polite staff and excellent breakfast. Also, having 3 beds in our room made accommodations very pleasant for our family.
Cons:The location a couple miles from Jaco and the beach, but it was quiet and relaxing.
Location:We booked a fun kayak/snorkeling adventure through Kayak Jaco. Our son went to a surf shop in Jaco and arranged for a 2 hour private surf lesson.
We just returned from a week vacation to Costa Rica and stayed the first 3 nights at the Pumilio Mountain & Ocean Hotel. We wished we had stayed there several more days. The staff was friendly and helpful. The managers Krishne and Milton were always available to answer questions and suggest activities that we may like. We had a complementary full breakfast every morning that usually included made to order omelets. The pool was also excellent! We saw iguanas lounging in the sun and also a Toucan in the nearby trees.

We work hard to give the importance that our guests deserve, especially knowing that they are sharing with us their vacation time. It was a pleasure to meet your lovely family and been part of your plans helping with the Kayak/Snorkeling Tour!
Pumilio is strategically located to explore Costa Rica like being pamper at home surrounded by nature, see the toucans, macaws and lots of birds flying naturally and the lizards walking around. Close enough to lots of activities, restaurants and things Jaco or Herradura Beaches offer, hope to have you more days on your next trip to Costa Rica.
Thanks for mention Krishne and Milton service, they really appreciated and we are very proud of our staff too.
For breakfast, we decided not to have schedule, guests that are going to tours frequently needs it before 7 a.m. and other want to sleep until late, we change daily because people love long stays. We added “tamales” typical dish for Christmas in Costa Rica, now we serve them at breakfast every day so our guest can try them. At Pumilio every day is a Holiday!

BEST SERVICE AND VALUE!
Pros:The service, property grounds.
Cons:nothing. keep doing what you are doing. you nailed it Milton.
Location:Beach/downtown Jaco about 2-3 miles...$6-8 cab ride.
We arrived to Pumilio before checkin, however, the property manager, Milton, greeted us upon arrival with a glass of wine and took the time to show us around the beautiful hotel grounds. When entering our room, I was pleasantly surprised as they had a complimentary snack basket waiting for us. The room was gorgeous! Every room has a full size kitchen on the balcony as well. The hotel staff was more than happy to arrange taxis for us into town and our next destination. Very accommodating. The complimentary breakfast was fabulous too. I have no complaints AT ALL. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for your kindly comments. All of our guests are always more than welcome in our Boutique hotel. We work hard to give the importance that our guests deserve, specially knowing that they are sharing with us their vacation time. The rooms were planned to be spacious and bright with the kitchen outside so the room doesnât smell like food and you can use in contact with nature, we try to have all the basics to make it easier to use them.
Since we are 4 Km away from either Jaco or Herradura offering the free transportation to Jaco or Herradura makes our location is strategically located to explore Costa Rica like being at home surrounded by nature.
For breakfast we decided not to have an schedule, guests that are going to tours frequently needs it before 7 a.m. and other want to sleep until late, we change daily because people love long stays. Recently we made a lot of changes with our breakfast and it is much better.
If you ever forget, or lose your happy all you have to do is come back to Pumilio. We know how to find the happy in you. Hope to have you back soon. Best regards from all the team, specially Milton that was very happy you remember his name!

Little piece of paradise
I stayed 3 perfect nights at this hotel in Aug. 2009. The properity is beautiful with well maintained grounds lots of flowering plants and a wonderful pool. The rooms are spacious and attractive however we spent most of our time outside and we loved that the kitchen area was pool side ! The staff is outstanding and while eveyone is friendly and nice, the manager goes out of her way to make sure you have a pleasant stay. She gave us advice about taxi service, banking, eating out, the best beaches and local activities. If you want to plan a day trip, she has excellent local knowledge and resources. She even asked her Mother about a beach we were interested in visiting ! I consider myself well traveled and I have never encountered anyone as engaging and helpful as she is. This hotel is located a short taxi ride to the dark sand beaches of Jaco and Hurradura. We liked being away from the noise and traffic of the beach, yet we could be there in minutes. I honestly can not wait to go back.
