Reviews and Ratings
I had a fantastic experience at Cabinas Jimenez, where I felt welcomed like family. The views from my cabina were breathtaking, especially during the evenings on the terrace. The staff went above and beyond to assist us with everything from room upgrades to tour bookings, which made my stay extra special. Although the rooms are basic and could use some updates, the overall atmosphere and helpfulness of the team more than made up for it.
Our stay at Cabinas Jimenez was exceptional, thanks to the attentive staff who went above and beyond to assist us in a potentially stressful situation. The ocean view from our room was breathtaking, and the amenities provided were fantastic. However, the loud music from a nearby disco was a bit of a distraction during the nights, so I’d recommend bringing earplugs. Overall, a wonderful experience with some minor inconveniences.
We had a wonderful stay on the Osa Peninsula, enjoying the beautiful waterfront location and the helpfulness of the staff. The room we were in had an amazing view, and the kayak experience was truly memorable. However, one guest had a very disappointing experience due to room issues and service lapses, highlighting that not everyone had the same positive experience.
I had an incredible experience at this hotel, which feels like a true hidden gem. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made me feel right at home. The rooms are unique and comfortable with amazing views, and the variety of free activities like kayaking added so much value to my stay. However, I wish I could have stayed longer to fully enjoy everything it offered.
This hotel is the perfect base for exploring Corcovado National Park. The owner was incredibly accommodating, even upgrading our room after our hike. The views are stunning, and the location is just a quick bike ride away from town. However, we did feel a bit wiped out from our hikes, and we barely had time to enjoy all the amenities offered.
