Chosa Manglar Suites & Cabins

Great location on edge of town, 2 mins walk from airport, 10 minutes from Public Pier and surrounded by jungle. Super friendly family that own it. Nice private room. Air con.

Andrew and Jackie were wonderful hosts who spoke impeccable English and helped us with everything we needed to enjoy our visit from restaurants ,tours to Corcovado,transportation. Cannot overemphasize the value that provides to a first time traveler to Puerto Jimenez. Free welcome beers and help with pizza delivery. Even facilitated the shipment of forgotten headphones from our previous stay in Uvita. We stayed in two bedroom which best on property. Sloth,Toucans,Honey badger,Red eye frog ON the property!

Some of the smaller units looked a little rustic.

We stayed at the King's Suite, which included a spacious sleeping area decorated with original art, with an equally spacious bathroom and well-equipped outdoor kitchen. It also included a covered front porch with a small table where we could enjoy the property's extensive jungle flowers and plants, while watching wildlife and having a meal. There was a small rooftop deck, perfect for bird and monkey-watching, enjoying the second cup of coffee or a book. Odd though it may seem, this property on the edge of Puerto Jimenez is in an actual rainforest complete with monkeys, sloths, coati, macaws, toucans and many other exotic birds. Surprisingly, it was only a few hundred feet from the town's airstrip. Following hotel checkout, we were able to walk to the runway carrying all our luggage. The resort also included a beautiful jungle garden, where patrons swapped stories around the nightly bonfire. This was a perfect place for socializing with the staff and other guests, while enjoying refreshments and more wildlife. On recent Saturday nights, a DJ has offered dances. One evening, a fantastic band from Panama played a variety of live music from Central America.

While the room itself and all the bedding was fresh and clean, and the bathroom and kitchen were quite modern, the furnishings in the sleeping area and other parts of the resort appeared dated. To be fair, the bedroom set was of high quality and the pieces matched. It had the feel of classic South or Central American style that you might have seen in old movies. Our building included an uninviting, dimly lit lounge that appeared to serve as a repository for old overstuffed furniture. But again, no one was forced to use it and there were plenty of other areas in the complex to enjoy. Likewise a few other structures on the premises appeared to be either abandoned or, at best in transition.

Being in the jungle and still have all amenities within walking distance.

Noise from the road

This place is really wonderful for a full disconnection and to recharge the batteries. We had the chance to see many animals in the garden and the room was very comfortable and spacious. The personal attention from the owner to our opinions and needs was more than expected. We come again there.
