Junge Bay is challenging to drive to. The roads are narrow, bumpy, and people prone to motion sickness and back problems should prepare for the 1 hour and 40 minute ride or narrow, up and down side to side bumpy ride. the landscape is beautiful but opt for a SUV instead of van for back problems and take time to get there, also take antimotion sickness medication before and drink or eat ginger to ease motion sickness. Once you arrive at Jungle Bay the Resort is a beautiful place filled with wonderful accomodating people. The owners put their heart and soul into building this resort and is actively involved and all the staff are warm, pleasant, and accomodating. I injured my back and although had wished I had known about road conditions at the time of arranging the resort with staff member. I was not told prior to arrival to prepare but once I made suggestions, complaints staff was understanding and accomodated me for the rest of the trip and gave me ginger, antinausea medications, delivered meals to my room when I was sore to move out of the home, gave me SUV to go home with and drove extra slow on way to airport back. My back injury was aggravated by the long bumpy ride to point was sore for two days. It is definetely a place where you need to be physically healthy and prepared to not only deal with the road conditions and the excursions that you have to travel to, plus climbing up stone, rock/dirt pathways. Need to be especially careful at night, very easy to slip with rocks under the leaves and twist the ankle even if walk slow since very dark and if at any moment walk to fast can happen easily. If one physically healthy then will love this action, adventure, natural environment. Plus if in a couple where one wants to be active and the other relax can still relax and enjoy just being in the resort. The resort offers spa services daily, can lounge by the pool, walk to rocky beach or mineral river easily. I choose relaxation, and the beautiful homes, spa services, the people once I arrived made my trip pleasant to recover. The Resort itself, beautiful tree top homes overlooking the rainforest, can hear the crashing waves and see all birds and lizards at all times. The food is very healthy and taste so good. The food, the people, the natural rustic environment alone was worth the trip. if physically healthy many excursions you do not want to miss and will enjoy natural preserved environment.
