Review of Cabinas Jimenez
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 Apr 2024via mobile
My wife & I stayed here for 8 days. We’ve been to Costa Rica many times & my wife lived in Costa Rica for a months during college. We were back in Costa Rica to look at Condos to purchase this was the main purpose of our trip. Our brother in law & his family were staying down the street at the Hilton Resort. My wife & I always like to stay at local places for the culture. We really enjoyed our stay Gabby was excellent along with the rest of the staff. We ventured over to the Hilton twice but the vibe wasn’t there. We felt more relaxed and comfortable at your place:). The room was nice & we had a private gate entrance with a lock for the gate, outdoor kitchen & beautiful balcony overlooking the beach. We would definitely stay here again if back in the area:).

Cute and characterful little beach side hotel. We stayed here either side of our Corcovado tour with our excess baggage safely stored for free while we were in the rainforest.
Annie looked after us and the rest of the team were really friendly. The views from our room/s were wonderful. Coffee machine and a fridge of your own is super useful and there is a great bakery just round the corner to pick up breakfast and treats. We used the free bikes to visit other local beaches and pop across town to the laundry and supermarket. Decor in the rooms is eclectic and I loved that. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a more authentic Costa Rica stay.

Room tip: We didn’t have a car but there seemed to be plenty of parking.

This is a wonderful place to stay! The reviews here are spot on. The room we had, bungalow 21, was roomy, clean and the beds were comfortable. The outdoor patio/balcony was so nice. We sat out there and played cards at night and it was fascinating to watch the tides out there. The shower wasn't heated but it really didn't matter, the water was warm enough and when it is 39 degrees outside, it's refreshing. By far the most outstanding feature of this place is the incredible and kind service from Annie and Gabby. I feel like we made 100 requests and they accommodated us above and beyond with a friendly smile every time. They booked us tours, they ordered pizza for us, helped with laundry, printed papers that we forgot. And they answered so many questions cheerfully. They are just the best. Thanks for the great visit!

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!

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!
