Cabinas Jiménez

I came here on my own for some downtime after doing a few weeks of turtle conservation in Rio Oro. Staying at Cabinas Jimenez was just what I needed! The hosts were so accommodating and nice. The room was clean and lovely. Great toilet and shower. The kitchen was awesome I loved getting my music on and cooking on the balcony overlooking the ocean and the pool and palm trees. I had such a great week. I took the boat tour with John and he was an awesome captain, we saw whales and dolphins and did some snorkeling. It was just the best day! Puerto Jimenez was such a calm little town with lovely walks, using the bikes was great. I would definitely be back here if I could ever afford the flights again. Taking the free kayaks in to the mangroves was such a special experience. Amazing can't thank you enough for an excellent week.

A great base to visit the Osa Peninsula or to just relax. Our plans were scotched on the first day due to an allergic reaction that made us stay put but this is definitely the place to stay on Golfo Dulce! The cabinas hotel is just outside the main town which is still only a couple of minutes’ walk. It’s in a calm spot right on the Gulf. Like a great many of the cabinas, ours looked out onto the Golf and we never tired of watching the activity out there from our comfortable veranda. ||Once we felt more ourselves, we made the most of the kayaks that the hotel make available and headed off into the neighbouring mangrove just after dawn – fantastic experience ! The hotel also has bikes for its guests. Great idea even if we didn’t make use of them ourselves. We also missed out on owner John’s boat trip round the Gulf which I’m sure was a great experience as he knows it like the back of his hand. I would also expect that it was easier to approach the Gulf dolphins from a single boat than when there are several all heading in the same direction as was the case on our outing in Uvita. While we were there some people had also spotted orcas out in the bay – a rare sight!||Another highlight are the scarlet macaws that come and feast on the almond trees around the hotel. We only had to step outside of our cabinas shortly after sunrise to enjoy a fabulous spectable. We never tired of seeing pairs fly across the Gulf either and loved the macaw deco in our comfortable rooms of cabina 21 !|This is truly a special place. Thanks to John, Anne & the team for making our stay memorable one despite our unexpected change of plan 😊

My wife and I were visiting the Osa Peninsula for the first time to scout out a place to stay for our family. We booked several nights here in order to look for other places to stay and because the service and the accommodations were so great, we have decided to bring our family back to this establishment rather than going anywhere else. Annie is a wonderful host and any needs we had were addressed immediately and all appliances worked and it was clean and it was just great. The kayaks, paddle boards and bikes were in good working order and easily accessible. We can’t wait to return next summer.

This was our second time staying here and it was once again great. Very clean and comfortable accommodations and pretty views of the water. Super convenient to everything you want do and also the staff is really helpful. Gabi gave great insights and also helped us out of a few jams. Juanita also was really great helping when we had a question as was the rest of the staff. It also is really convenient as far as walking to a grocery, bakery, restaurants, etc. We got takeout from Pizza Mail It quite a few times to eat on our deck, too. All in all a great trip.

Our expectations were exceeded at this hotel. We really liked using the free kayaks and just kayaking in the mangroves whenever we wanted. Everything is walkable. And the air conditioning is a godsend. We really liked sitting on the patio and having coffee in the morning and looking at the sun come out over the bay. I would not hesitate to stay here again. The people were very nice and helped us with little tips and hints about traveling around the area.

We could not have asked for a better place to stay while we adventured in Corcovado National Park. Not only did they provide storage for our luggage while we stayed overnight in the jungle but it was a clean, tranquil room , spacious with a glorious view of the gulf. We should have stayed longer to enjoy the free kayaks and taken advantage of their reasonably priced tours they offer. Super friendly staff and owners, as well. One of the best places we have ever stayed. We are planning to go back there soon!

We stayed at Cabinas Jimenez before and after a three day trip into Corcovado. John, Gabby, and Juanita couldn’t have been more|accommodating. Our room faced the Golfito Dulce and the pool with really nice sitting areas, an outdoor kitchen, all the comforts of home. I had nice conversations with all three, and felt as if I knew them already. We will definitely go back to spend more time.

We stayed here for five nights either side of a trip to Corcovado. We had a waterside room with a kitchen terrace. Communication in advance was excellent. Support during our visit was also very good. The room was clean and as we expected and the kitchen terrace exceeded our expectations. The pool was a bit smaller than we thought - more of a spa pool - but watching the sun rise over the river with Scarlet Macaws chattering overhead, colourful tanagers perching on our wall and kingfishers and herons on the river - I honestly couldn't ask for more!
