Everything went very smoothly with our stay here. The owners live close by and were very responsive and accommodating to our arrival and departure times so we could coordinate key exchange. We loved that the location was outside of Tamarindo to give us a glamping feel but that you could be in town in a matter of minutes.

Perfect Jungle Escape

Beautiful! Amazing set-up, perfect location and is ideal for our last stay in Costa Rica. The dome was really comfortable, with great kitchen facilities and the plunge pool was an added bonus. We are really grateful for all the suggestions on where to eat and go, they were great!

Great Stay!

This property was such a little gem. Javier and Kelly were so nice and gave us a walkthrough when we arrived as well as asked answered any questions we had quickly. It is a very private little property if you are looking for something unique during your stay in Costa Rica. It can get a little hot during the day in the dome but there is a AC unit to run while you are there that cools it down within an hour or so. Highly recommend!

A Vaycay Experience !

The property is Exactly as advertised on the VRBO website … a Razr for transportation into town is needed … only 2/3kms away but road is narrow to walk on. A fantastic experience Seeing & Meeting the monkeys by day and listening to them all night long … the Frogs !! An unexpected experience !! All in the best way ! … Dome was a little warm when we were there mid May as was the outside temp. Cheers !

Great, unique experience

We really enjoyed our stay at Cocolhu. It's a very cool place and it had everything we needed. We saw some wonderful sunsets from the observation deck, and enjoyed a couple of refreshing dips in the little circular outdoor pool. It was nice to be outside, closer to nature. We saw howler monkeys in the trees across the way, some frogs, birds and a squirrel. Kelly was a great and helpful host and communication was easy. It's about a 10-12 minute drive from the town of Tamarindo, so you really need a car, but there's a secure parking area. I would say, however, that due to the steep angle where the access road meets the main highway, a vehicle with high clearance would be a good choice. We had rented a compact SUV, but it had a bit of trouble navigating the steep grade where the roads meet. Not the hosts' fault, of course, and maybe the local road people have plans to fix that. The dome itself was comfortable and roomy. The AC was new, and it made sleeping possible, though don't expect it to be a cool as a hotel room. Domes like this just get hot during the day. Still, we didn't have any problem sleeping at night, and it's part of the "glamping" experience. It's a very relaxing place. If you're looking to stay somewhere unique and closer to nature, while also being a short distance from the town, I would highly recommend Cocolhu.

Am inviting cute upscale camping treat

Was a beautiful property with every amenity you would want in a hotel....while the tent is hot during the day....you most likely will be out and about during those hot hot times and it cools off extremely fast. Javier responded to any questions I had in a very short time - mostly about Tamarindo and I wanted to give the resident kitty cat a bowl of food. Amazing is an understatement for Javier and Kelly. So nice and we’re just find that I was a little late getting in past 4pm. Look forward to coming back to their glamping Dome the next time it’s just me and my partner. ¡Pura Vida!!

Extraterrestrial dome in the forest canopy

It was a beautiful! I love the architecture. There were chemical air fresheners, which we dont like but we removed them and the smell went away in one night. The dome gets very hot and needs cross ventilation. Our young child couldn't nap here, so we had leave. The cat is cute. Great hosts! Very inspiring!

Skip the hotels and try this unique experience.

We had a nice time staying at this property over New Years. It's a unique property. You're far enough outside of town that it's peaceful and quiet but you will definitely need a car if you're staying here, though it's only a 5 minute drive to town. There's a steep hill up to the property and the road to town can get very dusty. The hosts Kelly & Javier are warm and lovely. We didn't bother them but they were more than willing to be available if we needed anything. I find it easier to list the pros and cons as a list... Pros: - The property comes with the sweetest kitty cat you've ever met in your life. You don't like cats? Well nobody likes you :) Be good to my Patu! -The dome itself is comfortable for sleeping. The bed and sheets were comfortable and the AC worked well at night. -The kitchen is well appointed. The hosts were kind enough to not only leave appliances and and cooking utensils, but they also provided basic spices and cooking oil as well as coffee/tea accoutrements to get you started. -The small bathroom is well appointed. The large rain shower head was refreshing. - The downstairs portion has 2 hammocks, a small couch, a fire pit, and a small plunge pool. I regret not utilizing this area more. I really only came down here to feed and play with the cat. -The view is beautiful and they provided comfortable Adirondack chairs to sit and view it. Cons (Keep in mind these are not necessarily negative things. You should just know so you're not surprised): - When the sun comes up the AC in the dome can't keep up. Don't plan on sleeping in, it gets hot. With that said... - More shade is needed upstairs. Maybe bring that umbrella from downstairs to the upstairs. - Also, better seating is needed inside of the dome. We found the 2 inflatable chairs useless as you just slide right out of them. - Most women use an additional towel for their hair so it would be nice to have more than 2. - The wifi is very slow. But why are you on it anyway? You're on vacation :)> (Unfortunately we had to work on vacation). - You are just outside of town in a wooded area. THERE ARE BUGS. LOTS OF BUGS. And frogs. And howler monkeys. We even saw a deer. I don't consider any of these things cons. I come to Costa Rica for the nature. Even the bugs are kind of neat! I just want you to know what you're getting into. In all we considered it a positive and unique experience and we're glad we chose to stay in Kelly and Javier's dome. Pura Vida, Ashlee & Chad

Unique glamping experience!!

Loved the jungle privacy and comforts of an air conditioned dome. Owners are terrific! They are so thoughtful and sweet. My favorite feature in the place was the outdoor shower and jacuzzi where I could chill out under the jungle canopy. My girlfriend's favorite was the hammock in the shade. It gets warm in direct sun, so it's nice to be able to run the A/C in the dome. We did have an issue when a water pump burst, but the owners responded immediately and managed to find parts to fix it within a few hours (on a holiday weekend, no less!). So, kudos for taking great care of us, and letting us enjoy this beautiful jungle retreat. I can't wait to come back when the mango and avocado trees are producing!
