From the time we got there we knew we had the right place, the view was one of a kind, the hosts were amazing, and the beach was walking distance, private and beautiful. 100 percent recommend Tree Tops, we will be back!

Another 5 star review for Treetops! If you are reading this...stop researching places to stay and just book it ASAP before your dates are gone. We stayed for two nights in the main building and spent a lot of peaceful time on the sundeck drinking coffee and looking out at the ocean, and of course taking videos of all the great wildlife you can see being nestled into the trees. You won't regret Karen's 5 course gourmet meal with all-local Costa Rican ingredients (I will be dreaming about the red snapper curry main course for a while)! and the breakfasts are equally as lovely with plenty of food to fuel your day of adventure. DO NOT miss the mango margaritas!

Jack offered to book us a horseback riding tour of the beach and jungle from a local guide, and that was such a fun experience. Jack also connected us with a lovely fisherman who took us out on his boat to view the hundreds of sea turtles making their way to Ostional beach. We also encountered a huge pod of dolphins during the trip and they swam alongside our boat for quite a bit which made the day even more special. We were able to walk to town (~5 minute walk, or more like ~15 if you are walking in the dark looking at all the cool bugs and wildlife along the road on your way) and enjoy a wonderful steak dinner at El Jardin. 

Basically whatever Jack and Karen recommended we do...We did it with zero regrets! Such a beautiful stay with wonderful people. Thanks, Jack and Karen! We hope to return some day. 

A wonderfully peaceful escape in a seaside/jungletop gem!

This was a wonderful experience.  The two owners were a pleasure to meet and talk with.  We opted to do the 5 course dinner and no regrets one of if  it the best meal experience I have ever had.  Not one thing about the food needed to be added or taken away as it was prepared and tasted perfection.  The beach is nice white sand and we had fun snorkeling.  Plenty of trees for shade.  I real tropical paradise.  I hope to return on our next trip.  Thanks Jack and Karen for a wonderful experience!!

A real piece of paradise found

Truly a special place.  The food was amazing. Karen has unbelievable talent in creating one of the best dinners I had ever had.  The flavour and taste will not disappoint.  Jack was an amazing host and very attentive to our needs.  I will definitely go back. Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️

Best dinner ever

Stayed 2 nights. A wonderful experience. Karen & Jack have built their own eco-home and share it with guests. We stayed in the main building which has the upstairs veranda in the tree tops overlooking the ocean on one side and jungle on the other. Beautiful views and so peaceful. Wonderful to just sit and look. It is rustic and built 30 years ago, our bedroom had a screen rather than windows so you can hear the ocean and nature. No tv (a blessing!) fridge, air-con but you don’t want or need it. Internet connection was great. Breakfasts wonderful and we experienced our own private chef dining experience -5 courses of local fresh food with explanations of each course. We loved it. The special thing is talking with Karen and Jack and hearing their stories and how tree tops came about, we felt lucky to have experienced how they have turned their dream into reality - an inspirational couple.

A stay in nature - between the ocean and the jungle

Absolutely spectacular location with amazing vista. Elevated location right on the beach.  The deck is literally above and within the tree tops.

Jack and Karen, your hosts, are exceptionally pleasant, helpful, and knowledgeable.  It was a joy just to spend time with each of them.

In addition, Karen is a truly gifted chef. She prepared some of best food I have ever had anywhere. Do not miss the opportunity to have Karen prepare dinner for you.

Treetops is a one of a kind location. Highly recommend!

Absolutely unique

Despite many trips to the San Juanillo area we had never eaten at Treetops. We enjoyed a morning on the beautiful beach in front of the restaurant and then had a three course lunch at the restaurant. My four kids - 7, 9, 12, and 14 all found something they loved on the menu. The salad and fish were exquisite. Jack and Karen are wonderful conversationalists. The view is outstanding. We enjoyed a wonderful afternoon and will certainly return. Don’t miss it!

Lunch in Paradise

Our visit to Treetop was over the top delicious and the views during the sunset were amazing.  Karen had prepared such a delicious dinner.  We loved how she mixed in different flavors that were home grown.  You can tell how Karen loves cooking and entertaining.  I recommend coming and experiencing a five course dinner with Treetops!  Each course was exceptional!  Thank you!

Delicious treetop dinner

Sadly our experience at Tree Tops was very bad. We do not recommend it. Karen is very pleasant and well meaning. Jack is not a nice person and very rude. I will not elaborate further  but please save yourself much trouble and grief. Find another lodging. Regrets.

Do not stay at Tree Tops

I only spent one night at Tree Tops and it was wonderful. By accident I ended up there and am very happy I did. Karen and Jack are very kind hosts. And Karen’s cooking is wonderful. Breakfast was delicious and could feed an army. 
The view is spectacular, there are no other words for. Perfect spot for a sunset, and if you follow the little trail you are down on the beach yourself.
I consider myself quite lucky to have ended there by accident (miracle 😊). All my love to Karen an Jack, the cats and dogs, and especially little Lucky 💗.
