Looks like they are trying to redevelop this place - the bar/restaurant was closed (the nearest restaurants are about a 10-15 min walk), there was no hot water, window panes missing etc. The cheapest rooms ($49 for two) are minute. But the garden is lovely, the staff and dogs very friendly and it's very peaceful in the evening. More

My girlfriend and I stayed at La Choza del Manglar in March 2011, and we met pcollins10 from British Columbia who also wrote a review. We were going to Osa for the first time and we searched tripadvisor for literally DAYS trying to pick a place to stay in PJ. We eventually took a risk and picked La Choza, and... More

My husband and I stayed for over a week. We were in Cabin 8, which is by the mangroves. We wanted to see lots of wildlife and wow, we weren't disappointed! Monkeys surrounded the place almost every morning and many times in the afternoon too. There were so many scarlet mackaws and other parrots, I lost count. They even have... More

Fantastic place with nice staff and a aboundance of wildlife that just took my breath away. I was watching Whate-faced capuchins and raccoons for breakfast, tukans for lunch ang iguanas and cajmans for supper. You can see a lot of animals just sitting in the little cozy swimming pool, or standing on a bridge that crosses the little stream, just... More

Lacks atmosphere.Room was tiny, damp and smelly. It should market itself as a hostel. Staff were completely disinterested. More

We just returned from a week at this wonderful place. It was everything we had hoped for and more. This is not a fancy place but it is run with care and professionalism. The staff is sooo friendly and helpful. The rooms and grounds are immaculate. We were surrounded by all the sights and sounds of the rain forest. We... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel for a few days and felt that it was a bit mediocre for the price that we paid for the rooms. I would agree with the previous reviews that the grounds are very nice but I think that the rooms need some remodeling. The air conditioner in our room was not powerful... More

We just returned from La Choza, and were very diasspointed. We are budget travelers, so we know not too expect much when paying reasonable prices, but this was pretty bad. First of all, although the grounds of the hotel are nice and quaint, the rooms are extremely damp and musty. We had mold on our sheets, for example. We switched... More

An amazing place. The ownership is always there hanging out with the guests, making them feel at home, and helping them get acclimated and informed about the Osa. We felt right at home. We showed up with a couple tuna we had just caught and the kitchen cooked us up a gourmet dinner complete with ceviche from our fish. It... More
