Le chalet est plein de lumière; son style et son design reflètent vraiment les idées du propriétaire pour le confort de la plage. Ce chalet est parfait pour des vacances de lune de miel.
La belle piscine, entourée de jungle et de jardins, comprend un pavillon avec des chaises longues pivotantes et un espace de loisirs avec chaises et parasols.
La piscine est l'endroit idéal pour voir de grandes familles de capucins et de singes hurleurs qui descendent les cimes des arbres et pour observer les incroyables toucans sur les arbres fruitiers à proximité.
La propriété est intéressante à explorer. Il se compose d'une authentique jungle tropicale avec des jardins de bromélies ajoutés autour de chaque maison et des plantes avec beaucoup de couleurs et de parfums. Les nombreux cacaoyers et plants de gingembre ont inspiré le nom «Ginger & Cacao».
La propriété est entretenue par des gardiens. Pour votre service et votre commodité, ils résident dans un chalet séparé sur la propriété près de la porte.
«Ginger & Cacao» est parfaitement situé à quelques pas de la plage de Punta Uva, l'une des plus impressionnantes de la région. Un endroit rare toujours aussi naturel que possible, avec un impact négatif minimum de sur-développement. C'est là que la jungle rencontre la plage de sable blanc avec ses eaux émeraudes et les amandiers fournissent une ombre naturelle. Ce n'est pas bondé et c'est très sûr pour la natation, le kayak et la plongée en apnée.
À Punta Uva, on ressent le lien complet avec la nature. Il n'y a rien de plus beau que de monter à vélo et d'aller faire un tour tôt le matin à Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. À cette heure de la journée, il y a tellement de vie et d'activité dans la jungle. Des singes hurlants crient du haut des arbres, des papillons et des oiseaux volent à la recherche de nourriture.
Punta Uva est une zone très privée, à l'écart de la circulation et de la congestion dans les zones plus proches de Puerto Viejo. Il y a peu d'excellents restaurants et les meilleurs fournis dans l'épicerie de la région. En seulement 10 minutes en voiture, si vous le souhaitez, vous pouvez rapidement vous rendre à Puerto Viejo.
La nuit, l'action se passe ici, à Puerto Viejo. Cela peut sembler un peu défraîchi, mais donnez-lui un peu de temps et cela se développera sur vous. Le village quelque peu endormi devient vibrant, plein de vie et de musique, avec l'odeur de la nourriture venant de toutes les directions. Les barres face à l'océan font exploser le reggae et le calypso. Les magasins restent ouverts jusqu'à des heures tardives.
Nous sommes ouverts pour l'année commerciale.
Chez «Ginger & Cacao», nous offrons non seulement un endroit élégant où séjourner au milieu de la jungle, mais plus important encore, nous offrons une expérience fantastique et mémorable au Costa Rica caribéen. Nous pouvons planifier des visites pour vous et vous guider vers des lieux hors des cartes touristiques. Nous voulons que vous profitiez de vos vacances tout en restant avec nous et repartiez avec de beaux souvenirs. Nous comprenons l'hospitalité, nous prendrons soin de vous.

We arrived at night and one of my favorite memories was waking up in the morning to a view of the ocean and a plethora of plant life out my window: toucans flying through the sky and monkey's howling in the trees. This space is so gorgeous and luxurious, the pool is stunning. and communication with the property owner was smooth. I loved the area where we stayed so much, a gorgeous beach down the road and really lovely local restaurant. I liked being out of the hubbub of Puerto Viejo but a quick ride away, and just as close in the other direction to the local town of Manzanillo. It was truly a wonderful stay, highly suggest going to the Jaguar Rescue Center while visiting!

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 Ginger and Cacao was nothing short of magical and has easily become one of the most favorite places I’ve ever stayed in Costa Rica — and I’ve spent quite a bit of time here.The ocean view with the cozy deck, extremely abundant wildlife, and the stunning, immaculately clean pool created a feeling of total serenity. The home and property were beautifully maintained, and every detail reflected care, intention, and love. The host and caregivers were truly top-notch — warm, attentive, and thoughtful. They respected our privacy while also being available for anything we needed. Throughout our stay, we felt completely safe and secure, which allowed us to truly unwind and be present in the enjoyment of our travel experience.The aesthetic, layout, and functionality of Ginger and Cacao are exceptional — it’s a work of art, equal parts luxurious and grounding. The location is perfect: just a five-minute walk to the beach, close to town yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful, private, and deeply connected to nature — a little slice of paradise that still feels untouched and authentic.I feel incredibly blessed and grateful to have stayed somewhere so special. Ginger and Cacao is the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave. I can’t wait to return! Paradise!!

Amazing stay
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.

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!

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.

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!!!!

Dear Kristie. Thank you for taking the time to review our property. I’m happy that you liked it and had a good stay. In reply to couple of your comments and suggestions. It’s not needed to advise future guests to bring their own pillows. We have plenty of different sizes and firmness. All you had to do was to ask the caretakers to replace them, and contact me on this as well. In regards to the news of arriving with a 4x4. It’s very well explained at the property description at the listing that 4x4 is highly recommended. As it was disclosed that we didn’t have ACs and that the houses were property ventilated for our very humid weather with ceiling fans in each space of the houses which we keep working non-stop 24/7. And yes, our ocean views are fantastic! Thank you again. Take care and be well!

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

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!

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.

Loved the jungle!
This is a beautiful place, we stayed in both homes. Nice view from Cacao, and jungle view from Ginger. Being right in the jungle is a great experience and the grounds are immaculately kept. The caretakers are very personable and take good care of you. The walk to the beach is a long way down a very steep gravelly road, and long way up! For a young family or elderly people it would be a challenge. The floors in Ginger squeak very loudly when walked on in bare feet which woke up the other people in the house at night. There are no laundry facilities on the property, you can get your laundry done by the caretakers if you pay for it. There are no cleaning supplies in the homes so for a longer stay you need to pay for cleaning. The neighbors have dogs that get riled up at night and bark for long periods of time, the owner does try to deal with it but is not always successful.

Dear Tracy,
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review!
Due to the issues you had making the reservation, you arrived at the property already very unhappy with us. Although not our fault, we were expecting a 1-star review...
I'm happy you liked our villas and surrounding nature. And thank you for your kind comment about our caretakers. They tried hard to be helpful to you, will definitely let them know.
I'm surprised the walk to the beach felt long to you. It's 135 m to the main road and about 10-15 walk to the entrance of Punta Uva beach. The road, just before the first curve, has an incline of 15%, from there are 75 m to the entrance of the property. However, we are next in the Municipality plan, to have it paved with asphalt.
No one from our 29 parties we hosted in Ginger since we opened at the end of 2015, has mentioned before about the squeaking floors. I haven't noticed it either. But will have it checked and if so, will see what I can do about it. Thank you for your feed back!
Not sure what laundry and cleaning service charges you are mentioning as we didn't charge you for any.
In the property Description page we do specify the laundry is at the caretakers' cottage.
The villas Ginger and Cacao, which I purchased the with the property and remodeled, do not have the space for a laundry room. And it is in our policy that we charge for laundry services, just like any other rental place or hotels.
There is indeed variety of cleaning products in the cabinets bellow the sinks, brooms and mops around the front doors. I showed all while checking you in.
In addition, our caretakers which reside at the property, do provide anything our guests need for cleaning or offer help. As you remember, we did offer cleaning service and did not charge you.
As we didn't charge you, regardless our policy, for permanently staining two sets of brand new white towels or for breaking the blender in villa Cacao. We didn't write you a negative review for not respecting our policies or for soaking dirty laundry in the kitchen sink in villa Cacao so we had to spend hours after you checked out to scrub and sanitize all for our next guests. We did what we had to do and left it there.
Regarding the occasional dog barking. We did work it out with our neighbor. Now we have the sound of the howlers in the morning only:)
Once again, thank you for your feed back!
Take care and be well!
Best,
Zvezda

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!

Dear Anni, thank you for taking the time to review our property. I’m so happy that you had a good stay with us! As a matter of fact, and as described in details at the listing, both villas Ginger & Cacao are on the market as a package. Between the two, there are 3BR with queen beds and one sitting-sleeping area normally used when the villas are booked for 7 or 8. Your friend could’ve easily stayed and slept in the Ginger villa and hang around with you in villa Cacao. César the caretaker told me he showed you both villas and you chose to stay in Cacao. However, where he slept, these are individual beds made for sleeping with their own full bath. I’m glad that didn’t affect your stay and you enjoyed your time. You were wonderful guests and we’d host you again with pleasure. In the meantime, take care and be well!

Great place but was expecting a little more
The place is really nice and Punta Uva is definitely my favorite beach in Costa Rica. Loved the porch area outside, especially Villa Cacao. The pool area also has a fantastic covered area with hammocks to read and enjoy the outdoors.
We rented the two condos with 8 people. We used the two twin beds in Villa Cacao, but there were not sheets for the couches. We were just given two blankets and two pillows. There is also a wide gap above the two rooms, so you can hear everything the other person is saying. This gap is probably for air ventilation, but it definitely made it a little less private for anyone sharing that villa. There are no curtains on any windows, so the mornings get very bright very quickly. That is both a plus and a minus.
The other thing was the pool. It looks gigantic in the picture, but it is actually quite small and was pretty dirty when we were there. We spent most of our time at the beach, but I don't think we would have all fit in that pool.
The location is fantastic. It is right in between Punta Uva and Puerto Viejo. Definitely bring bug spray, but that's advice for wherever you stay on the Caribbean. We didn't really see the caretakers, but they were very nice every time we had interactions with them.

Dear Janet,
Thank you for your review and your feed back.
I'm happy you liked the property and the rented villas.
I'm sorry that you didn't have quite the privacy you expected in your villa. Yes, the open space under the ceiling was designed indeed for a better ventilation.
The two twin beds were made with fitted and flat sheets. All you had to do is to remove the bed covers to see it. However, the caretaker should've shown you that and not just show you the pillows and blankets.Thank you for making the point, it will help us to improve our service. I've already spoke with her .
Our pool is always clean. The PH is checked and controlled on a daily bases, the pool is vacuumed on a daily bases and the pool pump filters the water 6h continuously on a daily bases. What you call dirty is actually leaves falling quite often from the surrounding trees. We are in the jungle, it's part of our environment, especially when it rains or gets windy. However, already pointed out to the pool maintenance guy to keep on eye on the pool and collect the fallen leaves as much as possible.
The pool is not small, it's 8m x 3.50m, actually quite spacious considering the terrain and the location. It wasn't designed for 8 active young people to be in the pool at the same time:) It
was designed for a relaxing dip and a wonderful alternative to the beach while surrounded with beautiful gardens and great views.
I'm taking all your comments very seriously and will do my best to improve on all fronts. Please give us another opportunity and visit us again.
Best to all!

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!

A must in Costa Rica
It was our first time in Coata Rica.
We were a little worried about the wild side of the country.
Staying at Ginger&Coconut was probably the best decision we made.
We were warmly welcome. The house are absolutely perfect, beautiful, clean and safe.
Zvezda, Sandra and Pablo have been most helpful and kind.
Cocles is also nicely positioned for discovering the country.
Next time we go to Costa Rica, we will definitely go back to Ginger&Coconut.
Thank you so much.
