Chosa Manglar Suites & Cabins

This property is the best value for your travel dollar I have ever seen. Such an open and beautiful, wild area, 10 minutes walk from a rockin public beach, 2 minutes from the airport. Macaws and sloths and monkeys in the hotel trees, a bunch of great common areas. A tremendous international experience among great guests. Knowledgeable and helpful owners, making sure everyone is safe, happy and comfortable. We partied into the wee hours, and the hotel is laid out so that nobody was bothered, instead they joined in and encouraged us. Fishing, swimming, beaches, horses, wildlife and honest, kind, hard working Ticos with good food and cold beer make Puerto Jiménez a really remarkable place. This hostel style hotel is the best place I could recommend to experience it. See the Ossa and the Golfo Dulce from here. Don’t forget to grab a sandwich from the bakery on the main strip, that lady can bake bread.

I’m disappointed in myself for going to Drake bay, and not coming here sooner. The only problem with this place is that it’s not marketed well enough! I hope someday I can invest in this business

In the middle of a jungle setting. Monkeys, birds & close to beaches, restaurants and services.

Room was clean but dark and stuffy however, there was a great private deck out the back to watch nature.

You see monkeys, crabs, birds.. this was really nice

My bad for not paying attention when I booked but.. the price does not include breakfast.. and there is no pool.. beware😎

The gardens

The rooms and the guy in reception who was morose and deceptive.

Shared space and nature around

Small and dark room, no hot water

My wife and I spent 6 nights at this nature oasis, just a 5 minute walk from the town. The rooms were exceptionally clean, and Andrew, the owner, who has developed this project for 18 years, is full of Costa Rican knowledge and a delightful personality. His wife and son were also a huge help with local tours. In the time we stayed on their 4 acres, we identified 49 native bird species, besides seeing troops of capuchin monkeys and several sloths. Andrew has several different types of rooms to stay in. It is close to the little business section of Puerto Jimenez and also the beach area where there are great restaurants. The airport just shorts walk away. We already made reservations to stay there for 3 weeks next year. We also truly enjoyed conversations with many other travelers from Europe and Canada. This is a very unique nature oasis.

Situated between the blue waters of the Golfo Dulche, and the green canopies of the Corcovado National park, lies a little piece of paradise... You wake up in the morning to the sound of monkeys, Scarlet Macaws and a variety of other birds. You get up, make yourself a cup of coffee. You step outside, sit down, and let the warm rays of the Costa Rican sun slowly, but gently bring you back from a good long sleep. You shower, get dressed, and make your way through the lush tropical garden and across a small wooden bridge. And just as you get close to the main building of the property, a big, deep and warm voice greet you " Hello Asger, how are you this morning"?. That is the voice of Andrew, the owner of this magnificent place. Him and his lovely wife, are some of the kindest and most welcoming people you will ever meet. And if staying at a tropical place like this, shouldn't be enough to put a smile on you face, their personalities definitely will. I can't recommend this place enough. Whether you stay for a day or a week, this place is bound to have an everlasting impact on you, and make you want to return.... Pura Vida.

Nothing, everything was just perfect!
