It was an experience I will never forget! We had our own home in the jungle, amongst the jungle wild life, it was unbelievable! The decor was unique and the place was relaxing and beautiful. The sounds of the animals from the jungle were all over and loud, be prepared! The howler monkeys were loud but that is one thing which made the experience so awesome! The property was on the beach, we loved everything about it, I will go back and share this experience with more family members, I am so glad we stayed there 3 nights. It was such an adventure!

This property is a doorway to nature's paradise. Being set in jungle with an open living theme there is nothing to not love about Congo bongo. The cry of howler monkeys at 4am followed by the jungle waking up to the evening cry of the toucan nature is all around. The ambience is complimented by the warmth and friendliness of the people who call this place home.

Holy cow, this place was spectacular! A stunning combination of modern comfort (fully outfitted kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces with fans, grill, WiFi, filtered water) and true natural immersion, with the open-walled format and private location. The pathway to the private beach is beautiful and convenient, and the customer service was kind, quick, and helpful. We didn't have a car, which was totally fine - Manzanillo is an easy 15-minute walk (on the beach or by the road), and Uber helped out when it rained. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer - it was good for two nights, but I'd love to come back for a week, stock up at the grocery store, and truly relax and unwind.

Nos hospedamos 5 personas (2 adultos mayores) en el bungalow River Dream House. Todo fue excelente. El personal muy amable. La experiencia de dormir enmedio de la jungla y de una forma muy segura fue sensacional. Los monos aulladores, en el momento, sí nos sobresaltaron. Sin embargo, ahora estamos recordando esa maravillosa experiencia, riéndonos. Las habitaciones muy limpias y amplias. Las camas muy cómodas. La cocina muy bien equipada. No olvides llevar todos tus alimentos, recuerda que estarás entre la jungla. La caminata de 10 minutos a la playa muy agradable. Si quieres vivir una experiencia en la jungla este es, sin duda, el lugar.

A great jungle stay!

An amazing cabin in the middle of the jungle. All the jungle noises are amazing and you really feel like you’re sleeping amongst it. A lot of wild life around and we saw sloths on the property which was a bonus for us. Direct access to a lovely beach and sea. A perfect stay and would recommend to others.

Best place I have ever stayed

Coco Bongo was one of my favorite places I have EVER stayed in! This place was AMAZING! I loved it so much and was so greatfull for such a welcoming staff. This place was litterly like sleeping in the jungle! You could hear all the jungle noises from your room and you could also hear the monkeys in the morning! It is located a bit far away from other things but nothing more than a bike ride away. The staff was extraordinary and went above and beyond my expectations. As a solo female traveler, this place was absolutely safe. Marisol, one of the workers, also checked up on me to make sure I was ok wich was something I had never experienced at any other place I have stayed. She was absolutely Amazing and very attentive. I will never forget this place. It was absolutely extraordinary and i recomend it to anybody visiting the Manzanillo area.

Absolutely amazing if you want to be in close contact with the jungle. Tucans flying over our head and troops of howler monkeys traveling thru the canopy when we were sitting on the patio, plus much more. 5 minutes walk to the beach. The lady keeping the property was super nice. We stayed in the Big Dream House and one of the bedrooms had parts of the side netting missing and some creature got in during the night and rummaged through my clothes - fun for us but coul be scary for some. Hot water was sketchy at most, wifi good for checking emails but forget uploading pics or anything similar. Overall great experience.

The Congo Bongo was paradise! Loved our house! We saw monkeys, tree frogs, hummingbirds, birds, butterflies and agouti without even leaving the deck. The hammock was a wonderful place to relax and read. Outside shower was awesome. The walk through the forest to the beach was an adventure and the beach was lovely. The howler monkey wake up call was super cool. We also loved the gracious host, all the funky art, and the focus on repurposing and recycling. I would live here!!! Definitely recommend.

Great Jungle Experience

We really enjoyed this place and were glad to have stayed. A couple warnings- it can be noisy when it rains. We had heavy rains the first night, and I got a little overwhelmed by the noise in the bedroom. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Second, ALL food must be securely stored in the kitchen cabinets. Even with the latched doors, whatever came to visit still managed to reach thru and grab things. Second time, we had things in tupperware but latch was not secure. It was able to open the door and the tupperware. Just put everything in the fridge. For viewing and experiencing the jungle, there isn't any better.
