Chosa Manglar Nature Retreat

+ It was nice to be able to return to Chosa Manglar. This place not only gives you a sense of home but also a sense of nature; being welcomed by a large iguana or mono congos does something to a person. But there is much more to admire from your room! These rooms are clean, have a private bathroom with excellent shower and airco. Door and windows have protections against mosquitoes. Moreover, coffee and water are ready for you. Problems are always solved quickly, ranging from air conditioning, toilet, door lock or other inconveniences. The location is ideal, out of the busy center and yet within walking distance of everything and close to the airstrip! - It would be good to pay more attention to the cleanliness of the kitchen. Some materials may be renewed once in a while and clean dishwashers and towels are also welcome.

Thanks for your comments Eric. They are much appreciated. As we have a communal kitchen it is difficult to stay on top of everything all of the time but we will try harder. Hope to see you and your group again next year. Pura Vida, Andrew

Great location. Friendly staff. Wildlife around. Highly recommended.

Our stay here at Chosa Manglar was absolutely lovely. Due to unforseen plan change (I forgot my drivers license at home) we bused from San Jose to Puerto Jimenez, arriving much later than originally planned with our vehicle. Upon arrival, we were greeted, asked if we wished them to order us in some food before everything closed. It is very quiet and the Cabinas are very private. The common kitchen and Salon communal area were spotlessly clean, as were the Rooms/Cabinas. The kitchen was very organized for storage of individuals food. Everyone is very helpful, from night security to front desk. If you have no Spanish, English is spoken. I will be staying there when I make my annual trek to see our dentist.

Sandra it's always good to read that our guests feel welcomed when they arrive. Thanks for the kind words. We look forward to your next visit. Pura Vida, Andrew and Jackie

This hotel was great. It was located exactly in the middle between the bus terminal and the beach (approx 10min walk from each). The hotel is all surrounded by nature, so you can see trees, flowers, butterflies and even a family of spider monkeys that came very close. The rooms are very clean, with private shower and bathrooms, and they have air conditioning. The people at the front desk were really helpfull and nice. We booked a trekking tour with the hotel that went on the border of the Corcovado for half the price of what agencies around proposed. The tour was really great, with guides showing us a lot of animals (monkeys, crocodiles, aras, toucans,etc) and giving explanations for medicinal and edible plants. We also got to drink A LOT of excellent coconut water. I greatly recommend this hotel, it was the best in our whole trip in Costa Rica!
