The White Cottage, the third house at the property, is build under huge trees and next to the pool. The ocean views from its large verandas are terrific. The cottage is full of light; its style & design truly reflect the owner’s ideas for beach comfort. This cottage is perfect for honeymoon vacations.

The beautiful pool area, surrounded by jungle and gardens, includes a pavilion with swinging daybeds and a leisure area with chaises and umbrellas.

The pool area is the perfect spot to see large families of capuchin and howling monkeys raiding the treetops and to observe the amazing toucans on nearby trees.

The property is interesting to explore. It consists of authentic tropical jungle with landscaped bromelia gardens around each house, and plants with lots of colors and fragrance. The numerous cacao trees and ginger plants inspired the name, “Ginger & Cacao”.

The property is maintained by caretakers. For your service and convenience, they reside in a separate cottage on the property grounds by the gate.

‘ Ginger & Cacao” is perfectly located at just short walk to Punta Uva Beach, one of the most striking in Costa Rica. A rare place, still kept as natural as possible, with a minimum negative impact of over-development. Here is where the jungle meets the white sand beach with its emeralds waters and the almond trees to provide a natural shade. It’s not crowded and it's safe for swimming, kayaking and snorkeling.

In Punta Uva one feels in complete connection with nature. There is nothing more beautiful than to get on a bicycle and go for an early morning ride to Gandoca- Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. There is so much life and activity in the jungle at this time of the day. Howling monkeys call from the tree tops, butterflies and birds fly around searching for food.

Punta Uva is a very private area, removed from the traffic and congestion in areas closer to Puerto Viejo. There are few excellent restaurants and grocery stores. If you choose, you can quickly get to Puerto Viejo.

At night, the action happens in Puerto Viejo. It might look a bit shabby, but give it some time and it will grow on you. The somewhat sleepy village turns vibrant at night, full of life and music, with the smell of food coming from all directions. Ocean-front bars blast reggae and calypso. Shops stay open till late hours.

“Ginger & Cacao” offers an exiting and safe place to stay in the middle of the jungle, and a fantastic opportunity for a memorable experience of the Caribbean Costa Rica.

Hope to see you soon!

Puerto Viejo Tropical Paradise
What a beautiful property! Communication with the owner was fantastic. We rented the three casitas on the property and all were perfect for our group. The grounds and pool were immaculate. The wildlife was abundant with sloths, parrots, toucans, capuchin monkeys, howlers and more. Cesar and Maribel were there for all of our needs and made us feel safe. Would highly recommend for sure!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!!!!

Punta Uva Escape
We rented both houses for a family of 4. More space then we needed but we enjoyed having multiple rooms/beds. The view from the top house was amazing and we spent several hours on the porch watching wildlife and the tropical rain come down. The pool was a welcome refresher after exploring the area all day on bikes then walking back to the property up the big hill. It was a workout but felt great:) The owner and caretakers were great. They were we friendly and responsive. They even arranged for a taxi to come us up. We had a great time! Thank you:)
