Room and facility details from the supplier's own record, guest scores from its review summary.
Because the levels are tiered, no two rooms look at each other — each has its own stretch of forest and its own piece of Pacific. Inside, the design leans warm and dark: velvet, terracotta, driftwood, and lighting that comes on like fireflies once the sun drops behind the trees.
Pools above the trees
Two pools anchor the property — a mosaic infinity pool set against the ocean view, and the main pool ringed by rainforest, with a swim-up bar and hanging chairs at its edge. Wildlife is part of the arrangement: monkeys, iguanas, toucans and hummingbirds all pass through the branches over the water.

Good to know
Our tips
The trail down to Wild Beach
The path is steep in sections and takes about fifteen minutes on foot — wear closed-toe shoes, or ask reception the evening before for a golf cart down instead. Either way, check with reception first: they track the swell daily and will tell you plainly if it's a swimming day.
The Day Lunch Basket
A freshly prepared lunch basket, packed to go, so a day at Wild Beach doesn't mean a trip back up the hill until you're ready for one.
Sunset at Wild Beach
The cove faces west, so the Pacific sunset is unobstructed from the sand. Ask reception for the exact time and arrive thirty minutes early, then take the trail — or the golf cart — back up for dinner at Árbol Restaurant.
Dry season or green season
December through April brings calmer seas and steadier swimming days at Wild Beach. May through November trades some of that calm for stronger swell, bigger skies and a heavier jungle on the walk down — ask reception which you'll get before you plan a beach day.
