We stayed in a king-size cabin right by the water and it was very comfortable. The mattress is great. The AC works well.
It has an attached bathroom, which is pretty basic, but it gets the job done. The location and the view and the access to the water to go for a swim is unbeatable.
This is not a luxury lodge, but it is very clean and well maintained.
Tomas the owner is super helpful. We did not stay for breakfast, but they do have breakfast on site. This is a great place to stay if you’re visiting Puerto Jiminez. We will be back for sure.

Alas, this property has seen better days. It’s not horrible, or even unbearable, but bare bones. AC was adequate for sleep but not for siesta. Beach is not inviting. Nearby bars were ok for food. We left a day early.

Strike 1-We were told we had to pay cash on our last night. We were told to pay $500 more than booking price. We were told to go to bank or atm. This wasnt optional. No card would be accepted.
Strike 2- That last night, we woke up to a full blown ant or bug invasion after midnight. Floors, walls, pillows, couches. Everything crawling with bugs. No staff to reach anywhere in sight.No car to leave or anywhere to go. Owner dismissed the ordeal next day. Literally looked away & said nothing at all! I have videos& photos. I can handle a few bugs here & there, not an invasion. It was gross. We didn't have food out etc.
Strike3- After disclosure of bug situation, we were told we needed to pay $75for breakfast for the week. The booking showed breakfast was included. We argued this. They insisted we must pay it in cash immediately. A guy in our group handed him $80. No change was given back. No receipt for it. The guy put it in his pocket& sat down to continue his breakfast dismissing us.
To end this way really was so disappointing. Ill never go back after being treated this way. Idk how its legal to force guests to pay in cash at a legit lodge. Trying to avoid the government fees& stuff is what that looks like.

We left the property after 2 days, we booked for 4 nights. The Owner did agree to refund 1 night.

A little paradise

Accommodation was simple and there was no room service. However the view and gardens were stunning with large shady trees and it’s right on the beach. Swimming good- just need to walk out a bit at low tide. Quiet with good privacy and great restaurant a short stroll down the beach.Birds were amazing, monkeys every day, sloths, crocodiles across the road. Jetty for tours within walking distance. Hosts delightful.

Good location

The location was great for being beachfront. But not all units that say \"Oceanview\" really have one. We only stayed one night and was in a Classic Chalet, Multiple Beds, Ocean View. But it was in the back of the property with no view unless you walk out of the unit.

Beautiful location. Extremely gracious host, we had gotten lost and arrived well past closing check in time but they still opened up the lodge for us. Some minor upgrades to the lodge itself would be good, like having all the outlets work, as well as some outlets in the bathroom, and curtains on the windows in the loft. Other than that everything was comfortable!

The Corcovado Lodge was clean, well appointed and waterfront with a swimable beach and excellent views of Golfo Dulce. The most outstanding surprise was the friendliness and efficiency of the staff under the leadership of owner Thomas. We will definitely be making our new accommodation destination the Corcovado Lodge in Puerto Jimenez.

Corcovado lodge was one of the most amazing place we have ever been to and we travel a lot !
The owner’s hospitality, the small quiet place that had so much privacy and tranquility and the location on this nearly private beach had us feel that we are on our own island even though it’s part of a small beach town.
The lovely sandy beach and all the wildlife around were all bonus. We will definitely come again.
Don’t forget to ask for a boat tour to see dolphins and for some snorkeling.

We enjoyed our stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds were spacious and lovely.
The room was spacious and clean.
Our main concern was the morning noise from the parking lot. We were awakened about 5:00 every day.
The beach, birds and kayaking were great.

Excellent location - 1 min walking distance from swimmable water. That’s the only plus.
No customer service, no cleaning, terrible breakfast for extra $7.00. The rooms are nice but surroundings around the bungalows are dirty and unpleasant.

Beautiful location and decent rooms. Our group of 5 shared one of the group houses. It was clean and reasonably comfortable. Our only unmet need was that there weren't any lights upstairs and there weren't enough tables/chairs to place things for that many people. But the location can't be beat--the grounds are beautiful, full of birds, next to town, near trails, and adjacent to the swimmable gulf beach. The owner was also incredibly helpful. We would have liked if there was a restaurant or bar on-site but there is a solid outdoor restaurant a short walk away.

We had a great time at Corcovado Beach Lodge. The property was beautiful and quiet by the beach but close enough to walk to everything in the town of Puerto Jimenez including the pier where the local fishing tours and whale / dolphin tours leave from. The staff was very friendly and the rooms were clean. We woke up every morning to Scarlett Macaws in the trees outside of our bungalow and also saw Toucans, and an Otter right on the property. There is also a place very close to go see Crocodiles. We had a very nice experience and we would definitely recommend a stay at Corcovado Beach Lodge.

Basic accommodation in individual cabins in a beautiful setting on the beach. Toucans and other birds are regular visitors. Easy walk to restaurants in Puerto Jimenez. Owner is a really nice guy and can take you out on his boat to view dolphins and other marine wildlife. If you can’t live without TV don’t come here.

A CASH! Eeeek!!!

Upon arrival we were told we MUST pay in cash! This was toward end of trip, did not have $186 in cash. Gal at front no English, owner not there. Told to go bank and get it. We read all payment details NO where it says we would be paying in Cash, credit card use to hold, etc. Owner later showed, again told go to bank- would not take credit card. VERY stressful, banks closing soon, no car, etc. Later he said PayPal, okay- luckily we could do that late in day. However, he then said PP payment was short $10, so had to pay him that, We recommended Expedia/Hotels.com take this property off their listings, unless it is made very clear upon booking of this CASH only requirement!
Okay place otherwise okay, clean, slightly overpriced. Beach in front, is not sand, mud swamp, had to walk to beach area.
