Mundo Milo Eco Lodge

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!

I am beyond grateful for my stay in Mundo Milo. No words is enough to describe my humble experience. I came here with the intention of spending one night, away from home, to say the least- I am still here on day 3. From the minute I walked in Lieke (the owner) greeted my with. a smile & explained a few things about the suite I am stying in. Everything is so thoughtfully created to have this extraordinary experience to connect with nature & simplicity of life. While it may seem so simple, I couldn't help to notice the intentions and efforts behind every little thing that was placed to give guests the out pouring love that she carries in her heart. Michiel & Lieke are extremely thoughtful people, I am grateful to witness their true care and the hospitality of serving others. I have created a retreat name "Lalambari" to serve my purpose and I feel the Universe has guided me to experience this stay and to learn how Lieke & Michiel are doing what they love to do, and sharing their joy with others. This place is not only beautiful & welcoming, it is also full of nature & you will see all the beautiful singing birds around, the pool is stunning, food is out of this world. I am truly grateful for this incredible experience. Thank You Lieke & Michiel for doing what you do, a big thanks to all your staff as well. I intend to be back with my family and friends to share this experience again.

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.

My partner and I booked the lodge in the second week of November 2023 for 3 nights but ended up staying only one night. We were negatively surprised after the good reviews and a 9.6 score of the condition of the Mexican bungalow as it had a very strong moldy odor. The owner was accommodating in letting us change to the other Mexican bungalow but it also smelled moldy. My educated guess is that all bungalows are going to be moldy from the impression of the place. Guys, mold is really bad for your health..respiratory problems, respiratory infections, allergies or asthma. Mold can cause a plethora of digestive issues like stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting• Nasal and sinus congestion. Eye irritation, such as itchy, red, watery eyes. Wheezing and difficulty breathing. Cough. Throat irritation. Skin irritation, such as a rash. Headache. Also the toilet gave an unhygienic impression. Air conditioning blows directly over one bed. Food was ok. I don’t recommend a stay at this lodge.

This lodge is a gem! We absolutely loved everything here. Our house was spacious, so was the bathroom and the terrace was lovely to sit outside in the evening. Our house was very private and quiet. The pool was perfect for a swim. As there are no other restaurants nearby we had dinner twice here. The food was really good - just don`t forget to make a reservation as there are not so many tables and people come here for dinner who do not stay here. Breakfast was included in the room price. The beach is just down the road, you can either walk down which takes about 5 minutes or go with the car and park right on the beach. The beach is amazing! The owners are very friendly and helpful. We would definately stay here again.

AN OASIS of peace and quiet, amidst a mini forest just minutes away from the most BREATHTAKING SUNSETS! We got to see Howler Monkeys just feet away from us in our outdoor dining area. Our room was stunning and the pool and ping pong tables provided some activities for us when we stayed at the lodge. The food was delicious and the vegan, gluten free desserts were like explosions of joy in our mouths. Lieke & Michael (plus staff) are CARING, genuine and kind hosts who offer a memorable experience. They go above and beyond. They are extremely supportive to offer suggestions, answers questions and engage in fun and friendly conversations. IF you IN-JOY quiet places and spaces… I definitely recommend this eco lodge for your next trip to Costa Rica. PURA VIDA XO 😘 I have SO MANY amazing photos but the website is not permitting me to upload them.
