Then walked to lunch at many restaurants downtown, walked to grocery store, so nice to get out and enjoy the weather!! Took 2 tours, found the fish pond, sat bu fire, talked to other travelers and owner, sat out on our colorful front porch, laidback vacation

Close to runway
Posted 21 Feb 2024 on HotelsGreat stay at this property. Very handy for airport as literally 200 yards away. Airport only for day flights/light planes so noise not an issue.Close to centre and beaches. Hosts activities and suggest you book before arriving as very popular in February. Checked me in early and plenty of parking. Plenty of green in grounds and suspect looks very different in rainy season. Room basic and everything worked including a/c. Plenty of space outside the you can room I booked. Easy place to socialise with fellow guests although there seemed to be a lot of people working on their laptops!

Nice but has air conditioning issues.
Posted 13 Feb 2023 on HotelsThe grounds were lovely and the people were nice but the air conditioner went off in the middle of the night both nights we were there. We would wake up, hot and it was hard to sleep. It is very hot in Costa Rica in February. Both mornings we had to hunt down someone to turn it back on. They said it was the breaker switch but both times the rest of the electricity was on. It was uncomfortable and very annoying.

Karen, we are sorry to read about the air conditioning issues. Unfortunately, we are unable to control power outages in the village, but we will endeavor to find a solution, so the AC starts back up when we do lose power. We'll have to speak with a technician, which can be difficult at the end of the road, but we will start work on this as soon as possible. Thanks for letting us know about the issue.

I stayed in cabin #9 with no WiFi. Every time I need internet, I should go to reception area. To eat, I should go to town. Did not see as much wildlife on property as I expected, based on reviews.

Hello Alixsander. You are correct, cabin 9 does not have WIFi. It is not advertised with WIFi. It is a WIFI free zone. No WIFI. Once again you are correct, there is no restaurant. We advertise no restaurant. But you can cook at communal kitchen. Animal sightings are usually dependent on patience. The more patience you have the more animals are seen. Thanks for visiting.

I've been here twice in the last year. If you like nature, you will not find a better spot to stay. Family run and super friendly. Can't wait to go back !!

I don’t have words in order to describe it. Do not believe pictures, check yourself first before booking.

It's always a shock to wake up to a review like this! We don't have any idea how to understand it. But that is normal with anonymous reviews as we can't review the guests stay. Like all properties, we use reviews to better our service, but if they are not specific, it is difficult for us to respond in a positive manner. However, you should believe the photos or pictures because they are ALL taken on the property and we're definitely not sure how you can check them before booking as the reviewer suggests. All we can imagine is that something went wrong with the guest's visit and instead of advising us on site, so we could have a chance to resolve the issue, the guest decided to write this kind of review that helps no one. Or this is possibly a case of mistaken hotel identity which is a common mistake of guests after returning home after visiting a number of hotels during their Costa Rican adventure. Either way, it is not indicative of Chosa Manglar Nature Retreat and we apologize to future guests for misleading comments made by the reviewer.
