"We had an excellent stay at Mark and Lisley's property in Sierpe! Communication was great, with the most essential elements arranged not long after booking. The staff coordinated private transport between the airport and the property for us, and also booked the Cano Island snorkeling excursion and the visit to Corcovado National Park in advance. We also did horseback riding, a night hike, kayaking, and a tour of the mangrove and the fruit farm. We booked Dolly to prepare our dinners, which was such a treat for us! The views from the back porch were absolutely beautiful. the house has an airy feel to it; we often kept the front and back doors open.We communicated with the guest relations managers (Rayna and Simone) via WhatsApp, and this worked well as the property's wi-fi was good. On-site staff spoke limited English and I speak limited Spanish. We were able to communicate fairly well, and also used Google Translate when needed. Phone service was decent (we both have Verizon); one of us couldn't make phone calls 1-2 of the days but that could have been her somewhat older phone (iPhone 13) or something about her company's phone plan. We were able to call and text from my iPhone 16 from the house without issues.We would absolutely stay here again (and this was actually the second visit for one member of our party). One note -- the driveway to the house is quite steep, which we enjoyed because it gave us a good workout! But this might not be to everyone's liking."

"The property is pristine and the breakfast is delicious. Rooms were spotless and the beds were comfortable. Most of all, the hospitality from the host was second to none. We had some issues with our car on the way in and Stephanie could not have been more helpful. She is an amazing host with a great heart. Would stay again anytime I'm in Sierpe. "

"What can I say…. Finca Manglar was awesome! A remote oasis away from the crowds, that takes you into a completely relaxed environment. While there is internet access you won’t want to use it much. Step outside into the natural wonders that surround you! Our hosts (Luis/Ruth/Raquel) were such wonderful people who make you feel like part of their family. Our biggest regret was not staying longer. The place was well equipped in the kitchen, beds comfortable and plenty of space to lounge. There is no AC but the nights were comfortable and the screens kept bugs from being any issue. (Plenty of fans to use as well)The drinking water was excellent, so no need for bottled water. You can bring your own food, but I would highly recommend having Raquel/Ruth prepare your meals. (We brought beverages, some snacks and made some PB&Js for our excursion days) Everyone loved the food and what a great way to experience typical Costa Rican fare.Do not miss out on excursions with Luis. He is an exceptional person, guide and so much fun to interact with. El Capitan Major! He knows the waterways well to navigate the river/mangroves and is also very knowledgeable of where to spot the wildlife. So many things to soak in and enjoy at Finca Manglar, definitely a one of a kind experience. "

"The villa was modern, clean and spacious. "

"This home is gorgeous! The grounds are incredible, the views are stunning. We had daily visits from toucans and other beautiful birds and butterflies. We heard the monkeys but never saw them. One morning a pizote ran through the backyard. Walter and Adolf were super helpful with anything we needed while we were there. We asked Adolf about an excursion that was a bit off the beaten path. He fully delivered with an excursion that could not have been further from tourists! This was a truly rural experience with a friend of his named Rim, who met us at the end of one of the rivers in his boat, took us to his home on the beach island of Playa Garza where him and his wife cooked us lunch, showed us around the island a bit and basically left us to explore the island and beautiful beach alone. Rim even gave me a whole fresh red snapper he had caught to take with me back to our home Fair warning, this excursion was great, but it was waaaayyyy off the beaten path so truly for those looking for a bit of an adventure. Everything else was as mentioned by others. 4WD is a must. The road up to the house is long, windy and up and down some pretty serious hills. I recommend video recording the way up and down the first time on your phone just in case. All in all an absolute amazing experience! "
