Cottages in Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Gandoca-Manzanillo

'Incredible experience! Personable and authentic staff; sleep in the jungle and get to view everything (sloths, monkeys, etc) others pay guides to see; footsteps from a stunning beach, this is a truly an all in one Costa Rica experience. But as the website notes, this is for those that want a more raw experience, so don’t expect the hottest showers or finest linens. But you are very well taken care of and staff are very responsive. They’ll provide the inside scoop on trusted contacts for...

'Bij aankomst kregen we een upgrade en een welkomstdrankje, heel leuk! Alles was positief, F&B was soms wel langzaam of dingen gingen fout maar ze zijn heel vriendelijk. Enige puntjes zijn dat het geen adult only is, we waren wel degelijk kinderen en die schreeuwden in sommige gevallen ook heel hard en heel lang dwars door de live muziek heen. Ook de wifi is niet heel sterk maar daarvoor ben je natuurlijk niet op vakantie.'

'The place was more run down than expected and felt closer to a motel than a hotel stay.

'Muy hermoso, las playas muy cerca, excelente servicio al cliente, Talves si me gustaría más variedad en los desayunos, pero por lo demás si vamos a regresar definitivamente '

I felt very safe there and traveling around the area. Rent a rav 4 or similar. Go beach hopping , explore off the beaten path a little. Not difficult to do. Plug your phone in to the car. You will be fine. '

'On arrival it felt just like in Tarzan, romantic and the reception service was very good, Miguel did everything to explain and make us feel welcome. They arranged the suitcases too. Once in our tent, the beds were very nicely made and the style is nice too, though the moisture was very high. This means there is a lot of mildew and wet tents and wood. This type of stay is an experience we wanted, though we found that the maintenance definitely needs to be upped! Kitchen is bare, leaking pipe,...

'Staff was the best I experienced in Costa Rica!'
