laid back vacation
Convenient - checked tide tables and walked to gulf to swim in the mornings. Then walked to lunch at many restaurants downtown, walked to grocery store, so nice to get out and enjoy the weather!! Took 2 tours, found the fish pond, sat bu fire, talked to other travelers and owner, sat out on our colorful front porch, laidback vacation

Close to runway
Great stay at this property. Very handy for airport as literally 200 yards away. Airport only for day flights/light planes so noise not an issue.Close to centre and beaches. Hosts activities and suggest you book before arriving as very popular in February. Checked me in early and plenty of parking. Plenty of green in grounds and suspect looks very different in rainy season. Room basic and everything worked including a/c. Plenty of space outside the you can room I booked. Easy place to socialise with fellow guests although there seemed to be a lot of people working on their laptops!

Nice but has air conditioning issues.
The grounds were lovely and the people were nice but the air conditioner went off in the middle of the night both nights we were there. We would wake up, hot and it was hard to sleep. It is very hot in Costa Rica in February. Both mornings we had to hunt down someone to turn it back on. They said it was the breaker switch but both times the rest of the electricity was on. It was uncomfortable and very annoying.

I stayed in cabin #9 with no WiFi. Every time I need internet, I should go to reception area. To eat, I should go to town. Did not see as much wildlife on property as I expected, based on reviews.

The staff and owners are so friendly and welcoming! I’d say the atmosphere was the best part! Leaving a no so great review for a few reasons: The apartment was advertised to sleep 6, but there were no bed linens for the futons. There was plumbing issues. Not hot water (which isn’t a huge deal but if you’re paying 175$ a night it would be nice). And last, the coffee maker was molded out and generally all the dishes were not completely clean. To be clear, I think it is a great place, I was just very disappointed in what I got for the money.

Beautiful hostel adjacent to Corcovado
Beautiful hostel on the edge of Corcovado National Park in Puerto Jimenez. I loved hanging out in the covered courtyard. I was greeted on my arrival with several pairs of scarlet macaws in the trees. I loved hanging out in the beautiful covered courtyard area.

Price...? Depends on your face... or on the staff
First night we paid 80$ US to the young mens at the reception on December 3, 2016. The hotel was empty. We came back the night after and booked on the net and we paid 39,99$ US!! Do I trust the staff? No hot water, and the door lock didn't worked the first night. Rooms are really clean with air conditioning. The place is magic, beautiful, many animals and birds. Highly recommended you to book on the web.

Toucans in the garden & a lizard in the room!
My favorite place in Costa Rica! Rustic and so charming. Fantastic for lazy birdwatching and nature study right on site: and close to the beautiful Dulce Gulf and Corcovado National Park, as well. The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. There is no place on Earth quite like this. I can hardly wait to go back. :)

Wonderful place for nature watching
Had a great experience at the hotel and in the town. This place is paradise for those who love nature, but prefer a few more conveniences than camping. The common kitchen and salon were the perfect place to prepare and enjoy a meal and visit with fellow guests. The town is in easy walking distance and offers shops, groceries and restaurants. The weather was a bit hot for my liking, but the guest rooms have air conditioning. They also have a 'real hot water' shower - as opposed to the 'suicide' showers so many places in Costa Rica have. If you want to stay in the lap of luxury, this is not the place for you. But if you want to relax and enjoy nature and get to know some lovely people, I recommend you check out La Chosa del Manglar. We will stay here if we visit Peurto Jimmenez again!

Booked for one night but decided to stay two. Awesome to have a kitchen available to the guests and loved the early morning chorus of birds. You will see lots of wildlife here.
