    I cannot praise the host enough. We stayed only one night before going to Corcavado. He helped us with everything, allowed to leave a car for few days, helped with laundry and went above and beyond. The place is relaxed, with a nice garden and well equipped kitchen. Recommended

    It had what we needed. The host and staff were very welcoming and helpful. They were especially helpful in allowing us the secure storage of our rental car when we went away for several days on a trip into Corcovado National Park

    Nada!! It was perfect.

    We booked this last minute in the pouring rain and Jeancarlos couldn’t have been more accommodating! Super great room, great shower, comfy and kitchen access with strong WiFi. We needed a place for one night to crash (and leave our car) before our trip to Corcovado and this was perfect. Car was secure with no extra fee, 10 mins walk to the pier and he was super responsive on text - just can’t recommend it enough! Thank you Jean Carlos!!

    A loud rooster lived next door. The location was a little out of the way if you are walking. Great proximity to the airport, but a little far from everything else.

    Good bed and a fantastic hot shower!

    On the edges of the hotel compound there was quite a lot of old building materials and junk which could do with a good tidy. The same could be said for the town of Puerto Jimanez!

    Cabinas Tropicales is conveniently situated for both the airport and ferry. Clean and tidy rooms with good aircon, quiet fans, and hot showers look out on a lovely garden. The communal area with cooker, kettle and coffee provided made a good start to the day. A fridge stored our beer and 3 pleasant evening were spent chatting to fellow travellers.

    We weren't sold on the photos of the hotel but the reviews were good, and we were very happy we ended up stayed here! Jeancarlos was fantastic for recommendations and advice about what to do in the area and was super friendly. The room was great, as was the shared kitchen. The photos don't do this place justice, it was lovely and clean and the aircon was fab too. Comfy bed! Well located, a short walk away from the main town and lovely and quiet. Well equipped kitchen with two gas hobs, a big fridge, and a microwave. Plenty of crockery and pans too and everything was very clean.

    Great spot for the trip close to town and beach. Jeancarlos was very helpful in checkin, giving us plenty of reccomendations and things to do, and even pointing out some toucans in the trees on the property. Thanks again for welcoming us. Highly recommend

    The kitchen facilities could be improved, but the management/ownership has very recently changed and they have plans to try and sort quite a few things.

    Our stay at Cabinas Tropicales was very pleasant, its a basic accommodation but comfortable. Jeancarlos made us feel very welcome, he was incredibly helpful and friendly. The garden is lovely to sit in while relaxing, all types of birds fly in regularly. It was a well placed location, right near to the beach of puerto jimenez and also a short walk into the centre of the town.

    There is a new management in the Cabinas! The Cabina we had was basic with AC and fan and furniture to put your stuff to. It is a peaceful place with a supernice garden and an open air kitchen. Close to the airport which is not a problem as there are only a few airplanes the day. And they are not louder than motorbycicles. We were really happy. I needed some help because of an injury and the nice manager Jeancarlos was most helpful all around the clock.
