"Good bed! "

"Beautiful place but don't follow the google pin "

"We spent 3 nights at Playa Nicuesa, and were totally bowled over. This place really is a hidden gem, and all the staff work hard to make it that way. Everything about our stay ran so smoothly, from our pickup and boat transfer on arrival, to our departure. Beautiful location, so calm and peaceful. Wonderful staff, all very friendly, polite and knowledgeable, and great that they always remembered our names! Olman's welcome on the pier and his easygoing manner made us feel at home straight away. We loved our room (which was spotlessly clean) - the furnishings and the wrap-around balcony with its jungle view and sounds. So much wildlife to watch and listen to! We particularly enjoyed our trail walks with the guides Oscar and Jean-Carlos, and I felt totally chilled after my massage with Isabella. The food was always freshly prepared and delicious. We're so glad we stayed here, and hope to return one day."

"The rooms were clean and spacious. The meals were healthy, delicious, and varied - prepared by cheerful and skilled cooks in the onsite kitchen, and served in a comfortable and nicely decorated dining hall overlooking the grounds and forest. I highly recommend booking a tour of the grounds to learn more about the history of the garden and the habitat conservation efforts underway in the area. Our tour guide, Jason, shared expert bird and plant identification information, as well as fascinating descriptions of the ecological interactions among some of the species in this premontane forest. The staff were super friendly, and the grounds were peaceful and lovely. Nearby San Vito was also fun to explore, as it is not a "touristy" place, but a regular town with an interesting history. "

"Pool was nice, views amazing"

"Un lugar bueno ,pero se tienen que resaltar que no te dan paños en la piscinas, hace falta remodelar los cuertos ,y sabanas. "

"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. "

"Our room, #3, overlooks the water/dock/boats. Entry to the room is from the bar/dining area. Fortunately, the restaurant/bar was not busy the night we stayed so noise was not a problem. The decor is of a bygone era. Service was very friendly and quick. The food was good, too."
