Reviews of Cabinas Jimenez

The room(s) were spacious and comfortable. The view was stellar. The people at the check in desk were very kind and helpful. Parking was close and easy to get to. We saw lots of macaws and other birds and wildlife. We felt safe.

The AC unit if one of the bedrooms didn't work (at least there was a fan). The handle on the bathroom sink faucet was totally broken. The seats of the chairs around the kitchen table were ripping.

The staff were excellent - friendly and very helpful.

Great location in Puerto Jimenez with very friendly and helpful staff; they even gave us a free upgrade on our room. Beach views from the back patio near the pool were lovely in the evening and early morning. Staff was very accommodating of our travel plans and helped secure our luggage and car while we were on an overnight tour in Corcovado National Park. This location is very walkable to other places in town or the beach front.

The power and WiFi can be a little iffy. When we first arrived a heavy storm passed through the area that resulted in a temporary power outage in several places, not just the hotel. There is WiFi but it cuts in and out, so I would not rely on it for extended work or personal use. Our room has an electric fan but no AC which made our stay a little toasty.

It’s a cute and clean hotel with good AC and internet. They have kayaks and bicycles that you can use for free anytime you want. It has a small pool and a relaxing atmosphere. The rooms have coffee makers with complimentary coffee and a mini fridge. It’s located right on the water with common areas overlooking the sea. Also, the rooms we got had a very nice outdoor area with cute wooden furniture, which allowed us to have a nice private space outdoors. We didn’t utilize their tour services, but they offer a lot of good adventures too.

We booked this hotel partly because of it’s proximity to the local pier and the ability to easily walk to the launch and to activities from the pier and beachside restaurants; however, the connecting bridge is damaged and unusable, so we had to either pay for taxis or walk long distances to be able to get to these areas. No basic toiletries provided, like shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. We didn’t pack these items because we thought they would have them. None of these things are deal breakers, but they would have made our stay a bit easier and more enjoyable.

Location per se excellent. Right at the waterfront and in short walking distance to cafes, shops and restaurants of the village. Reception super kind and very helpful!

The rooms wouldn't need much to appear a bit more modern. But curtains, bed linens, furniture leave a solid 60s impression. We didn't mind the cool shower, but you really have to find out how to handle the little switch for warm water. Kitchenware incomplete (spoons) and also dated (we skipped the use of the coffee machine). If heading out to nature by boat (e.g. Corcovado) - need to be aware that the bridge connecting to the pier is broken, changing a 5 minute walk into a 30 minute walk to get there. Us in particular and in addition a bit unlucky with neighbors underneath chain-smoking gifting us the smell.

The room was comfortable, with an outside seating area. We used the kayaks to explore the mangroves and the bikes to get around town and beyond, all free of charge. The hotel is right on the beach and has a pool. The staff were friendly and helpful. Puerto Jiminez is a small town, not busy with international tourists. It had everything we needed; shops, supermarkets, restaurants. We started our tour to Corcovado from there.

Breakfast is not included but there are plenty of options in Puerto Jiminez to buy your own and a fridge in the room to keep it in.

Perfect location for taking trips to the national park. We had appartment # 15 with a little balkony over the ozean.

1- Very friendly and selfless reception/management staff - John and Gabi. Helped us make the most of our short stay with advice about places to visit, help with booking cost-effective tours&transport, and ensuring we got a room we were happy with. 2- Great to have free access to the (warm) pool, kayaks and bicycles. 3- Quick access to the beach and town (seconds away). 4- The town is friendly and has many services and good restaurants.

1- The bed slats could be a little quieter - I’m sure it’s an easy fix. 2- We couldn’t figure out how to make the shower water warmer. It wasn’t cold, just not very warm. Perhaps our fault!

Outdoor kitchen and common space with bbq were on the waterfront. Beautiful

The hosts were so extremely attentive and helpful. We could leave our luggage at the hotel while we went to Corcovado and were able to take a shower after. Highly recommend!!

Great location, with patio and other outdoor seating plus bikes, pool and kayaks. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Can't think of anything that could have been better for our purposes other than perhaps better pillows.

Location. Staff.

Very friendly staff. Helped to arrange unforgettable tours. This place made Puerto Jimenez amazing

The hotel itself is in a good location right on the water. It's quiet, has a great view of the bay, and the rooms are nice and clean. Anne at the front desk was extremely helpful in suggesting things to do, restaurants, etc. She was also able to arrange a taxi to pick us up to take us to the pier to catch our boat to Corcovado the following morning at 5am, because unfortunately the bridge to walk to the pier is no longer there. We were able to keep our car in the parking lot, and store our bags while we went to Corcovado for two days, which was fantastic.

Next to the ocean, small swimming pool, nice view for drinking beer, quiet place

It is just near the beach. they allowed us to leave our luggage and car when we visited Corcovado.

the mosquito nets are not properly fit to window in the room. the room was too noise. The room is on top of other building by steel construction. when someone moves in the other room, you can hear even the walk.
