Cabinas Jimenez should have 'soul food' in its name, because all the staff are like a family welcoming everyone with pure open smiles, on top of providing excellent thorough daily room cleaning, tour advice and booking. Basically nothing is too much trouble, laughter between guests and staff adds to the sounds of the daily visits of Macaws in the trees around. Balconies are private with amazing views of a multitude of birdlife over the bay, which you can access via steps for swimming or use of the free kayaks. On top of the wonderful atmosphere each room has a unique decoration and the quirky artistic features such as doors with amazing carvings and beautiful sculptures can be found in every corner around the grounds.
Puerto Jimenez is a few minutes walk, but we used the free bicycles on offer to ride to town and around to local beaches. We had a wonderful dolphin boat tour, my husband went on 4 amazing fishing trips, chocolate farm. We were due to stay here for 6 nights, but we fell in love with Cabinas Jimenez and stayed for 20 days instead of moving on to a 5 star hotel as planned!!
