"This is a wonderful place to go at one of our favorite beaches in the country! The family villa was perfect for my family, and the proximity to a great pool and the beach can't be beat. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good - not spectacular but solid, and filling to fuel for the day. I would hesitate to pay full price for the accommodations as they do charge a lot, but if you get a bit of a discount this is a great option!"

"Fantastic Host and staff. I was able to stay in two different locations here. The beach access was awesome if you’re looking for something away from the public beaches. Those can be crowded on the weekends. Across the street are an Italian and Argentinian restaurant, both very good. You can rent a bike or motorcycle as well at a shop about a 100m down the road. For me it was the perfect location that wasn’t in the crowded towns but not too remote."

Top Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge Hotel Reviews

Almonds and Corals Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay at Almonds & Corals! The staff are caring & lovely!!! This location is at the beach, and has boardwalk throughout & down to the beach. There are stations near the beach to rinse, which is great, and there are padded loungers or tables & chairs, both with umbrellas. The rooms were very clean & comfortable. They do have steps though. Some have AC… ours did which we appreciated very much! But when it is cooler some of the windows can open to air it out & enjoy the nature. The cabins without AC seemed to be screened to allow for more air flow. We saw a LOT of wildlife at the resort, and they do have a walking trail, but we did not partake, as you can see quite a LOT from the boardwalk. I would say though that the location is too far for walking in the dark back & forth from dinner if you do not dine on site at Mocha Beach. But they have plenty of parking. We rented a car & were glad we had that to get back & forth. Manzanillo town is a little over a mile walk (down the beach was easier), Punta Uva was about the same from the beach, but more like 2.25 miles down the road. There are 2 very nice groceries in Cocles. Our only hang ups were these: 1- the in-room coffee service is limited, and they charge for more pods, 2- there was only 1 washcloth given to us at any given time, which was really awkward & lost in translation, 3- You can hear everything & everyone, pack ear plugs jic."

Bungalows Punta Uva

8/10 Good

"Deberían tener más limpieza en la piscina cuando la gente come alrededor. Queda mucha comida y basura"

Pangea Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place in Manzanillo close to the beach"

Beachfront Bungalows Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I had a wonderful time at Beachfront Bungalows! It's a beautiful, well-maintained property, the room was exactly what we needed, the food was delicious and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a very peaceful and wonderful place to spend a week, surrounded by nad close in proximity to Manzanillo, Coccles and Puerto Viejo. We would definitely visit Bungalows again!"

KAÑIK APART HOTEL

10/10 Excellent

"This is wonderful location. It is away from the busy areas with a 5 minute walk to the beach. The property was beautiful and the hosts were amazing."

Faith Glamping Dome Costa Rica

8/10 Good

"The glamping domes are not for those looking for a hotel with all of the amenities. It is glamping. The domes are smack dab in the middle of a forest surrounded by lots of nature. The ocean is steps away with a very private beach. The water was pretty rough in June, but still beautiful. Breakfast was delicious. The showers at the domes are cold water only; however, there is a separate hot water shower on the grounds. The zipper and small opening to some of the domes can be difficult to move in and out of (some have larger doors). Overall, it was okay."

Exōtico Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely space… lovely staff … great restaurant … a wonderful stay complete with tree frogs!"

Casa Yamann

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful, quiet stay with nearby restaurants and a convenience store close by! Nice pool too "

Casa Coral Azul

10/10 Excellent

"The house was in great condition, kitchen had plenty of plates, cups, pots and pans, utensils, rice cooker, everything. Pool was clean and refreshing. Lots of room for the family for a few days."
