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! ##### Richard Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Karen Feb 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### 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. ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Aliaksandr Jan 26, 2022 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities 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. ##### Aliaksandr Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Jan 8, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I've been here twice in the last year. If you like nature, you will not find a better spot to stay. Family run and super friendly. Can't wait to go back !! ##### James Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Feb 26, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I don’t have words in order to describe it. Do not believe pictures, check yourself first before booking. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### J Jan 4, 2021 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### J Stayed 1 night in Dec 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Constanze Mar 15, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfekt für Naturliebhaber!! Mangroven hinter dem Appartment, Kapuzineraffen, Eichhörnchen, Aras und unzählige Vögel, ein zahmer Leguan, Jesus-Eidechsen und als krönenden Abschluss ein Krokodil, das an der Terrasse vorbeischwamm. Sehr nette Gastgeber nicht zu vergessen! ##### Constanze Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 28, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities ................................................... ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 19, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved the setting.

The people were very good to me and helped where they could. Would happily go back. ##### Timothy Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Edward Apr 24, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Edward ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 10, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful and Relaxing I stayed three nights and look forward to returning. The grounds are lovely and brimming with nature's wonder. The kitchen facilities looked very good. Nice comfortable lobby. Good laundry service across the street. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 5, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service #### 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. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia Jan 2, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. :) ##### Patricia ### 4/10 Poor #### helene May 9, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### idéal pour une étape mais pas plus Puerto jimenez est un village sans grand interet. L'hôtel est intéressant si vous recherchez uniquement un pied à terre sans aucune prestation pour accéder au parc corcovado. ##### helene ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura & Barry, Dallas, TX Apr 13, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### 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! ##### Laura & Barry ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Villa Caletas](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Caletas.h908078.Hotel-Information) > > [Bosque del Cabo Rain Forest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Jimenez-Hotels-Bosque-Del-Cabo-Rain-Forest-Lodge.h11886299.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Lapas Jungle Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Villa-Lapas-Jungle-Village.h1330482.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Jaco Beach All-Inclusive Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Best-Western-Jaco-Beach-All-Inclusive-Resort.h54703.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Break Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Beach-Break-Resort.h2243571.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Hotel-Tamarindo-Diria-Beach-Resort.h1108151.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Jaco](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Socialtel-Jaco.h18103596.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin](https://www.expedia.ca/Curubande-Hotels-Hotel-Hacienda-Guachipelin.h1122531.Hotel-Information) > > [Océano Boutique Hotel & Bistró](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Oceano-Boutique-Hotel-Gallery.h8832353.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Kura Boutique Hotel Member of the Cayuga Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Kura-Boutique-Hotel.h5637504.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Trapp Family Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Trapp-Family-Lodge.h4799289.Hotel-Information) > > [Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Dominical-Hotels-Oxygen-Jungle-Villas.h6042557.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Azura Beach Resort - All Inclusive - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Azura-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h20586535.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Belmar](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Belmar.h37178213.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Tamarindo](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Wyndham-Tamarindo.h10356916.Hotel-Information) > > [Jardín del Edén Boutique Hotel - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Jardin-Del-Eden-Boutique-Hotel-Adults-Only.h2818928.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [The Coast Beachfront Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-The-Coast-Beachfront-Hotel.h18530265.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Guanacaste Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Guanacaste-Resort-And-Spa.h2190860.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Bodhi-Tree-Yoga-Resort.h10650362.Hotel-Information) > > [Crocs Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Jaco-Hotels-Crocs-Resort-Casino.h8741357.Hotel-Information)
