Perfect Osa getaway

Review of Cabinas Jimenez
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 2 Apr 2024
Cabinas Jiminez has it all! Located right on the shore of the Golfo Dulce within walking access to great restaurants it is convenient and homey.
Sitting by the pool, the wildlife puts on a show from morning until night. Parrots and scarlet macaws land in trees many times a day.We enjoyed use of the free kayaks and bikes.
The staff..couldn t be friendlier or more accommodating.
Highly recommend!
Date of stay: March 2024
Room Tip: Check out the large Red Lored parrots who land in the big tree by the pool EVERY AFTERNOON at 5:30

Booked the " best room in the house" for 4 nights, received a confirmation email directly from the owner. When we arrived, no rooms available at all including ours. We showed the confirmation email to the owner John.
Long story what happened next....Ann ultimately helped us find a room....20 minutes out of town, rough road, no kitchen. They did pay the difference, but....the owner never apologized...not even once!! including follow up emails and never offered any compensation...we asked for some free nights at a future date...nothing...basically just the finger. Do not patronize this person.
Also note that unlike any other hotel we have used, his prices are cash only....they will add 6% if you use a credit card.
We don't write complaints as we're very forgiving....mistakes get made. But this fellow was horrible and rude in how he handled the situation.
Zero out of 10. Pick a different place.

Room tip: Do not patronize this place..see our review. Horrible owner. Lots of other choices. His prices are quoted cash only. 6% premium on credit card. No other hotels do this.

I did apologise to you...twice ..but you did Not want to hear it. Yes, I made a mistake .. mixing you up with another guest. We did our best to find you another place . Yes, I did pay the difference out of my pocket 0f $ 340. And I had no problem doing so..to make you happy. Yes, you asked / demanded an extra 4 nights free.. but the part that bothered me was if I didn't,... you would write..all over social media of what had happened . Again, I apologise. John owner

We loved Cabina #2 - right on the swimmable water, with a lovely, large outdoor kitchen and sitting area. Comfy beds and welcome air condo. Annie and Gabi were super helpful at the front desk (perfect English), arranging tours and recommending restaurants. We used the free kayaks to tour the mangroves, and walked to the pier to meet the boat for the Sirena park tour. Iguana's liked it too!

Room tip: The pool is small - no laps! But it's great for a cooling dip. Osa is HOT and humid, but totally worth it!

Stayed one night in between lodges in Osa.

Big room and comfortable bed, nice large outdoor terrace. AC and Fan worked well. Central location in Puerto Jimenez, walkable to restaurants and services.

We did not use the kitchen facilities in the room as we were there only one night (ate at restaurants for dinner and breakfast)
We did not use the pool, but it is a nice little area and there is a terrace near the water.

Room tip: We had an upstairs room facing pool and water. You can choose exactly which room you want to book.

The staff at Cabinas Jimenez were so very helpful for me to set up two tours of the surrounding forest and also Corcavado National Park. They set me up with Ficus Tours, helped me negotiate my travel to Puerto Jimenez and also provided free kayaks and bicycles. I kayaked to a mangrove wetland and biked to a beach on the other side of the airport.

My room was very clean and comfortable. The staff so pleasant and helpful. I would stay here every time I go down.

Thank you so much for making my trip so much fun and memorable.

The property is clean but offers basic facilities. Luckily, we booked an upgraded room with sea view, much better than other rooms. What was really great was customer service provided by Gabby. Even before getting our key, she told us everything we needed to know. The next day, she helped us in a personal emergency magically, finding solutions to our problems in record time.
If you are looking for basic accommodation, I recommend this property with great customer service. Is worthed to pay a little extra for the sea view room.
