The Hotel

Laid-back, cozy and surrounded by nature. Hidden gem in a private paradise to relax and reset.

Our Roots

A boutique family-owned hotel in Playa Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, steps away from the beach, Funky Monkey Lodge has been welcoming travelers since 2001.

We started as one of the very first surf lodges in the area, with a few simple bungalows for surfers and adventurous backpackers. As Santa Teresa and tourism evolved, so did we!

Today, our eco-friendly beach lodge offers a variety of accommodations, ideal for couples, families, digital nomads, and groups.

Located between the tropical rainforest and the unspoiled beaches of the Nicoya Peninsula, Funky Monkey Lodge blends nature, comfort and community.

Whether you come to surf, practice yoga, or simply relax, our friendly staff and personalized attention create the perfect setting for a memorable stay.
