"Don’t hesitate, just book this house now and get ready for an incredible Costa Rican adventure. As soon as we booked, we received info and help for organizing our transport and ideas for things we could do during our stay. Throughout our visit Simone was available the entire time to help with any questions and to plan out every single day of our visit. Can’t say enough great things about Simone! Having Ruben as our boat driver and guide for the entire visit was the highlight of our trip. No boring tours in large groups of tourists! Ruben took us kayaking, fishing every day, boating through the mangroves to see monkeys, even on a night hike. We absolutely loved exploring the area with him. And after a day of adventures you can sit at the house watching monkeys or toucans right from the beautiful large decks, relaxing in a hammock or rocking chair while Dolly cooks you a delicious dinner. We also did the horseback riding and snorkeling at Cano island, both also memorable activities. We travelled with our 3 children and it was a family vacation we will never forget. Yes, the walk up the hill to the house is steep, but so worth it to be up in the trees surrounded by nothing but nature and beautiful views. Then when you are ready to explore Ruben is waiting at the bottom of the hill at your private dock to take you wherever you want to go! "

"What can I say…. Finca Manglar was awesome! A remote oasis away from the crowds, that takes you into a completely relaxed environment. While there is internet access you won’t want to use it much. Step outside into the natural wonders that surround you! Our hosts (Luis/Ruth/Raquel) were such wonderful people who make you feel like part of their family. Our biggest regret was not staying longer. The place was well equipped in the kitchen, beds comfortable and plenty of space to lounge. There is no AC but the nights were comfortable and the screens kept bugs from being any issue. (Plenty of fans to use as well)The drinking water was excellent, so no need for bottled water. You can bring your own food, but I would highly recommend having Raquel/Ruth prepare your meals. (We brought beverages, some snacks and made some PB&Js for our excursion days) Everyone loved the food and what a great way to experience typical Costa Rican fare.Do not miss out on excursions with Luis. He is an exceptional person, guide and so much fun to interact with. El Capitan Major! He knows the waterways well to navigate the river/mangroves and is also very knowledgeable of where to spot the wildlife. So many things to soak in and enjoy at Finca Manglar, definitely a one of a kind experience. "

"Wow! This is an amazing place! We loved it! It is very nice and cozy. The “mercadito” is near and we found many places to eat delicious meals! Also, it is very quiet and there is a pool surrounded by nature. "

"This property is amazing! We had eight adults and we were all impressed. The outdoor area is set perfectly for large groups. The views are breathtaking, and the birds that visited were incredible. We had toucans in the yard, and macaws and others fly by. The location is perfect. There aren nice restaurants and groceries very close by. I didn't want to leave. I wish we had booked this for another week. "

"This hotel is charming and lovely with 5 star rooms and dining. The bar had amazing drinks and it would be a very expensive hotel if it wasn’t directly on the highway. The views of the ocean are breathtaking but it’s literally on top of the highway so you hear and smell trucks and ambulances."

"Will come back again "

"One of the most peaceful and beautiful homes we have had the pleasure of staying at. The home is beautifully decorated and has everything you need at your fingertips. The location submerges you in the beauty of Costa Rica being nestled among tropical plants and wildlife. Highly recommend! Both Andrea and Dawn were wonderful from booking to checkout.. maticulusy"
