Manolo Cabinas provides all the best activities around Parque Corcovado. Guides are very talented and they'll take good care of you. The guide Xavier contact us the day before going to the National Park and Cano Island and told us how we should be prepared in order to explore the most beautiful places in Costa Rica. Especially the tour to... More

I really like this place, collected from the beach, great family, great food, close to the beach and really quiet. I've got my own room with a single bed, comfortable mattress, mosquito net, clean bathrooms and hammocks, it couldn't be nicer. The beach is beautiful and they organised a diving trip for me straight away and I did the Isla... More

We booked a three night package that came with food and two tours at Cabinas Manolo, which is a nice little family-run hotel. The owner, Manolo, picked us up at the Beach, and drove us to our hotel. Rooms are not fancy but clean, equiped with mosquito nets, fans, a terrace with hammocks and good-sized bathrooms. The staff is super... More

This was one of the nicest 'cabins' type place I've stayed at. We are in the tropics here - hot, lots of bugs, etc and yet they kept the rooms extremely clean. I loved my bed and sheets, the shower was warm and large, and I enjoyed sitting on our rocking chair. These are cabins, not luxury...but very comfortable. I... More

VERY friendly place, with quiet, clean and spacious rooms. Maurizio, who takes care of the guests on a daily basis, is efficient (speaks really good English), reliable and will see to your requests of all kinds. The Tour guide we had through Manolo, Javier, is fully knowledgeable, and we highly recommend him too. Manolo is a warm-harted discret quality host,... More

We, a family of 3 adults spent 4 days at this family owned hotel in Drake Bay, and it was a very memorable experience that we'll never forget. We exchanged emails for some weeks and everything was promptly answered. When we got there we wanted to have another room than the one we were given and because it was available,... More

I booked a room at Cabinas Manolo after the many good reviews I read on Trip Advisor and everything proofed to be true. Everyone from the staff and owners were extremely friendly and helpful and even helped me organize accommodations for the rest of my trip. The rooms were cozy and I loved the veranda with the hammocks - very... More

Recommended by a local, this place was nothing short of amazing! The staff were very welcoming, the place was clean, comfortable and well-priced. Starting from my initial into Cabinas Manolo, right up to our departure back to Sierpe, everything was perfect. Thanks :)

I stayed in Cabinas Manolo in a budget room ($15/night) with a shared bathroom, had low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by how clean, simple yet tasteful, breezy and well-designed the hotel was. Loved the natural wood decks and hammocks and the set up, cleanliness & privacy of the shared bathrooms, lots of plant life. The perfect place to kick... More

When planning our trip to Costa Rica we quickly decided we'd want to see Corcovado. Tours and hotels/resorts are pretty expensive, but Manolo is one of the cheaper options. We paid US30 for a double private room with shared bathroom. For backpacking standards used to Asian prices this is still pretty steep, but this is Costa Rica. Allthough not the... More
