Oxygen Jungle Villas

The place is lovely, with a gorgeous garden, pool and a beautiful view. However, this view comes with a price in transport. That is the only reason that I am not giving the place a full five stars which they would amply deserve for service, food and general beauty of the place. The road from town to the hotel is short (less than two miles) but partly through a road that needs a 4x4 vehicle. This service is provided by the hotel at 22 dollars, one way to town, and another 22 dollars on the way back. All sea activities require you to go to town, so suddenly you have added 44 dollars to your day in Oxygen. ANd really, 22 dollars for about two miles? Not only that; they charged all taxes and service (tip) on top of it. Their argument is that that is the market value in town; yet, they should not join in the tourist predation. They could offer the service cheaper and put it in the room price.

Absolutely perfect vacation. The villas were beautiful and private with wildlife right outside. Food and service were impeccable. Massage services were best we've ever had. It was rainy in November but we didn't even mind. Plenty of activities. Cannot think of a single area to improve.

Oxygen provided an amazing experience for our honeymoon. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food and drink was very good, and they catered very well for us as vegetarians throughout our 4-day trip. We loved the intimate, boutique feel of the hotel. Our room was beautiful with amazing views of the ocean.

This was the highlight of my end of the summer vacation and probably one of my best destinations in over 45+ countries travel. The property is beautiful, secluded, and yet connected to everything you would possibly want to do in Puntarenas, if you do want to leave the hotel. Oxygen has its own forest with biodiverse species that will keep you mesmerized. They offer an early birdwatching tour and a night tour, which I joined with Ozzy and Daniel. Shoutout to the guides who impressed us with their enthusiasm and knowledge of spiders, frogs and larvae. I was able to spot monkeys, hummingbirds, guacamayos, a sloth and a baby snake. The infinity pool is a delightful and relaxing space. The view is exceptional and hypnotic. Food is excellent - highly recommend the Tico cocktail, Cosecha del mar (risotto), Prestiños and Ceviche. Go for the Tico breakfast in the morning. Everyone is super friendly and knows you by name, which makes your stay extra special. The journey from San José is over three hours and yet you barely notice it- the panoramic road is a treat in itself. I recommend booking Oxygen's airport pick up. Special thanks to Raquel, Mauricio, Luis, Aaron, Boorman, Geisel, Carlos and Ricardo. I enjoyed every moment of my stay at Oxygen and plan to visit its sister property in Corcovado. Pura vida!!

We chose Oxygen for our wedding and it was an excellent decision. The wedding was organized very well, the food was excellent, many of our guests highlighted the good quality of the food, the drinks, the variety. The place itself was excellent for the event and lodging. The hotel put all its staff at our service for the wedding, as well as transportation and different facilities. At the place we were able to see wildlife, such as sloths, birds, coatis and monkeys. The rooms are excellent and the service and breakfast were exceptional. The staff was always very attentive and ready to solve any need. Our wedding was a success.
