"I can’t say enough about the property and the staff. We stayed in the Caribbean breeze cabin for 6 nights and it was an amazing experience.

The property is tucked just into the jungle off the beach so you get the best of both worlds. This is a place that will always hold a special place in our hearts and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable experience."

Top Playa Gandoca Hotel Reviews

Jungle Home Near Beach Manzanillo, Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"This place did not disappoint. The host was very friendly and accommodating and the house was very relaxing to stay in. There is a lot more light in the main bedroom than the picture shows, and chairs to sit in on a patio off of that bedroom. It is tucked away and feels safe and is fairly quiet, but it’s just a straight shot to the beach, maybe a 4 min leisurely stroll away. We both found the bed to be comfortable also, and I like a more firm mattress and my husband likes a softer mattress so I guess it was just right. As for restaurants, there are a couple of places to eat close by or it’s just a short drive to other options, there are plenty around to choose from. The Gandoca-Manzanillo refuge is within a short walking distance also. If you want to stay in Manzanillo, I would definitely recommend this place!"

10/10 Excellent

"Five stars for the overall experience, location, and especially the staff, even though the actual accommodation is quite basic. The main listing makes it sound like this is a whole house, but it’s actually two completely separate bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and no connecting door between the two, then the kitchen and seating areas are outside. (This is more obvious in the detailed description if you click through and read the whole thing, but could be clearer in the main description and photos - it worked fine for us but might be difficult if you’re travelling with children who are too young to be in their own separate suite). The seating area wasn’t the most comfortable and it would have been nice to have a safe for valuables, but other than that, no complaints - it’s not fancy but it’s great value for money, and very nice to have a kitchen and access to a pool! We saw toucans every day and enjoyed meeting the resident cats. The staff were fantastic and helped us out with a minor first aid issue and even with a communication issue we were having with our next hotel."

Casa Yamann

10/10 Excellent

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