The staff was incredibly friendly but we didn’t even stay on the property although it was paid. The conditions were not clean and the safety of the area was of great concern.

Wonderful setting in a forest with birds and wildlife. Our primary disappointment was the lack of any food service on the property.

Suited our needs

We can’t comment a lot because we arrived late and left early for Corcovado. My Mom had an uneasy feeling about the place. The check in was easy and there was someone available to open the gate early when we left at 5am.

Great stay at Chosa Manglar

Chosa el Manglar was the perfect spot for our brief visit to Puerto Jimenez. It is a short walk from the airport, has beautiful grounds, and is centrally located. The owners took great care of us, helping us out with some local logistics.

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.
