The hosts are very friendly and helpful, however the place needs a bit of maintenance. The water pressure for bathing is low. Very good location and the cleanliness of the place was quite good. The place smelled a little musty.

Los anfitriones muy amables y atentos, sin embargo al lugar le hace falta un poco de mantenimiento. La presión del agua para bañarse es baja. Muy buena ubicación y la limpieza del lugar estaba bastante bien. El lugar olía un poco a humedad.

There was nice lady who I think is the owner's mom and she helped with what she could. The check in is unnecessarily difficult. Instructions are never provided and when you get there you realize that there's no phone signal no matter the carrier. I had to drive back like 500 meters to get phone signal and be able to call the host. Simple check in instructions would have saved us time and made our check in smooth. The internet is like 5MB and it goes on and off. So while we were there it was difficult for us to communicate with our employees and take care of our business. The place is not very well maintained. I reached out through the airbnb chat but got no response. It's not a good deal. $300 for two nights was too much for what we got. I was expecting more. Pros: The location is convenient and close to groceries, restaurants and the beach.

It’s a good spot if you’re open to figuring things out as you go. The price point vs what you get in return is decent for the area. The pool is a nice touch. When we needed something (gas ran out in the kitchen in the middle of preparing dinner) it was tended to, but not until the next day, which is understandable. It was a little buggy (ants) but, for the most part, they kept to themselves. We did have access to laundry and Jenny's mother was really helpful when we needed her.

We had a nice time at Jenny's place! The apartment had plenty of space and the pool was nice.

We hebben een fijne tijd bij Jenny gehad! Het appartement had veel ruimte en het zwembad was fijn.

Thank you for a lovely place to stay Jenny. When we arrived we realized that one of the beds that was shown in the photos was no longer there, we reached out to Jenny and thankfully she responded very quickly and resolved the problem. We had a short stay here and it was comfortable for us while we stayed. Thanks Jenny and Jenny’s Mom!

We felt very comfortable, quiet and private location. Beautiful the animal voices in the morning and evening. Pool was lukewarm and still cool ;-)

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, ruhige u private Lage. wunderschön die Tiere-stimmen am Morgen und am Abend. Pool war lauwarm u trotzdem cool ;-)

The place was large for two people and nicely decorated inside. The house is quiet. The center of Puerto Jimenez can be reached in about 5 minutes by car. Unfortunately, the photos (mainly the outdoor area) did not quite correspond to the current condition, so we consider the value for money to be not optimal. Check in was cumbersome The place was still cleaned for check-in, so we had to wait about 1 hour. For this, the place was not easy to find because there is no marking from the outside. Overall, we were satisfied.

Die Unterkunft war für zwei Personen groß und innen schön eingerichtet. Die Lage des Hauses ist ruhig. Das Zentrum von Puerto Jimenez ist in ca. 5 min mit dem Auto erreichbar. Die Fotos (hauptsächlich der Außenanlage) entsprachen leider nicht ganz dem aktuellen Zustand, sodass wir das Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis als nicht optimal ansehen. Der Check-In war umständlich. Die Unterkunft wurde zum Check-In noch geputzt, sodass wir ca. 1 Stunde warten mussten. Dazu war die Unterkunft nicht leicht zu finden, da es von außen keine Kennzeichnung gibt. Insgesamt waren wir zufrieden.

In a nutshell: absolutely recommended. We felt very comfortable from the first second, the house has everything you need to spend a few nice days. Jenny's communication and recommendations were great. And I really liked the layout and the kind of house! You have a great airbnb ❣️

Kurz knapp: absolute Empfehlung. Wir haben uns ab der ersten Sekunde sehr wohl gefühlt, das Haus hat alles was man braucht um ein paar schöne Tage zu verbringen. Die Kommunikation und die Empfehlungen von Jenny waren klasse. Und ich mochte den Grundriss und die Art des Hauses sehr! Ihr habt ein tolles airbnb ❣️

Before arrival, we were still in contact with the landlady, at check-in, we were informed (allegedly brother of the landlady) that the booked apartment was occupied. They gave us another one at the premises. Since we only had two days, we didn't care. So can't rate the booked apartment. Unfortunately, I was also not contacted by the landlady afterwards (can be expected) and it was not excused. I think the same apartment is rented here several times. Those who come last have been unlucky. Facility is nice, pool was clean. Surroundings don't really matter much, except the national park is on the agenda.

Vor der Ankunft noch Kontakt zur Vermieterin gehabt, beim Check-In teilte man uns mit (angeblicher Bruder der Vermieterin), dass das gebuchte Apartment belegt sei. Man gab uns ein anderes auf dem Grundstück. Da wir nur zwei Tage hatten, war es uns erstmal egal. Kann somit das gebuchte Apartment nicht bewerten. Leider wurde ich auch nicht von der Vermieterin im Anschluss kontaktiert (kann man erwarten) und es wurde sich nicht entschuldigt. Ich glaube, hier wird mehrmals das gleiche Apartment vermietet. Wer als letztes kommt hat halt Pech gehabt. Anlage ist schön, Pool war sauber. Umgebung gibt nicht wirklich viel her, außer der Nationalpark steht auf dem Programm.

And enjoyed it. In the morning we were only in the pool and watched the birds, especially the Aras. At the harbor you could eat and sit well.

Und hat es sehr gut gefallen. Morgens waren wir erst im Pool und haben die Vögel, vor allem die Aras beobachtet. Am Hafen konnte man gut essen und sitzen.

Our stay was fantastic! We had a change of plans and needed to stay in Puerto Jimenez at the last minute and Jenny was able to accommodate us. It was just what we needed, quiet and peaceful. The pool was great and we enjoyed meeting Jenny's sweet mother during check in. Jenny's communication was great. We highly recommend!

Thanks for staying with us and for such a great review. We look forward to welcoming you again!

This place was lovely. The front patio was one of the best bird watching spots we had our whole trip. The place was conveniently located with great access to the beaches in Matapalo and our trip to Corcovado with Gustavo was great. Would definitely stay here again!

The space was very clean and a cute and stylish place.

nice and fresh accommodation! host Jenny always responded quickly to messages and her mum who received us was very sweet!

fint och fräscht boende! värden Jenny svarade alltid snabbt på meddelanden och hennes mamma som tog emot oss va väldigt söt!

It takes 20 minutes to walk (not 10 minutes) in the total darkness for much of the way to get to the city center. So, it's best if you have a car. The place was good, but there's no hot water! It's not a spontaneous issue... there's no hot water just! The pool, on the other hand, was warm and clean. The garden is not well maintained.

Il faut bien 20 min de marche (et non 10 minutes) dans la totale noirceur pour une bonne partie du chemin pour se rendre au centre-ville. Donc, c'est mieux si vous avez une voiture. Le logement était bien, mais il n'y a pas d'eau chaude! Ce n'est pas un problème spontané... il n'y a pas d'eau chaude tout simplement! La piscine, par contre, était chaude et propre. Le jardin manque d'entretien.

Amazing stay at Jenny’s place, was well taken care of by Rosita and also a tour with Gustavo. The pool and surrounding nature was gorgeous, definitely would stay again.

Thank you Gabrielle! It was nice to have you stay with us. My mother enjoy having your around!

Very dynamic and helpful hosts. Average location, little privacy. Spacious place, very clean. No hot water, unfortunately.

Hôtes très dynamiques et serviables. Emplacement moyen, peu d’intimité. Logement spacieux, très propre. Pas d’eau chaude, malheureusement.

When we checked in, Jenny's brother welcomed us in the door to the accommodation, but didn't show us anything about the accommodation. It smelled very musty so we had to ventilate first. no table on the bed. but everything else is fine. Pool was also good.

Unterkunft ansich gut. Beim check in hat der Bruder von Jenny uns im Empfang genommen hat uns die tür aufgemacht von der Unterkunft, selbst aber uns nichts von der Unterkunft gezeigt. Es hat sehr muffig gerochen so das wir erst mal lüften mussten. kein tisch am bett. aber ansonsten alles gut. Pool war auch gut.

The stay was great. Super cozy place, clean and careful. The pool is also a plus. I recommend it 100%!!

La estancia ha sido genial. Lugar súper acogedor, limpio y cuidado. La piscina también es un plus. Lo recomiendo al 100%!!

My mom and I loved staying at Jenny’s Place! Jenny was so helpful- she made sure we had everything we needed and gave us great recommendations. The house was so nice and the pool was amazing! We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the walk to the beach was close!

Excellent service and very nice place, quite safe

Excelente atención y muy bonito lugar, bastante seguro

Gracias Lidier. Esperamos volver a verles de nuevo!

Excellent location. A nice place, very quiet to relax. Close to the population center and access to all services. Jimenez is a lovely place. Jenny was very attentive in everything. I hope to return.

Excelente ubicación. Un bonito lugar, muy tranquilo para descansar. Cerca del centro de población y acceso a todos los servicios. Jimenez es un lugar encantador. Jenny muy atenta en todo. Espero volver.

Muchas gracias y esperamos tenerles de regreso!

We had a nice time staying in Pt Jimenez. Jenny was a good host. We had reserved the studio apartment but she offered us the bigger Adobe main house, which we accepted and appreciated having more space. We also enjoyed the pool

Thank you Sharon for staying with us! I hope that you had a great experience in Puerto Jimenez. Our town has to much to offer!

I only got Jenny by WhatsApp message, and I was in touch with her mother on the spot. Very serious both of you and listening.

J'ai seulement eu Jenny par message WhatsApp, et j'ai été en contact avec sa mère sur place. Très sérieuse toute les 2 et à l'écoute.

Jenny is a very nice and friendly person, as well as all her family. We went on a guided tour with her brother, which was great, he organised a chocolate farm tour and helped us out when our car was on the wrong side of a bridge after it had been closed due to heavy rain. The house has a very nice new pool in the garden and Jenny told us about her plans to redecorate parts of the house. Puerto Jimenez itself is not a nice place to go though and keep in mind that it is still more than two hours to go to Corcovado.

The place is very similar to the photos, however there are several details to improve in relation to the handling of the house and its surroundings.

El lugar es muy parecido a las fotos, sin embargo hay varios detalles por mejorar en relación al manetemiento de la casa y sus alrededores.

Overall we had a decent stay, but instead of the small apartment we thought we had booked, when we arrived we were moved into the main house in front of the apartment, as the mother was staying there. It was a very large and nice space, but not what we expected, and it was a challenge to cool it off with the fans provided. It had a nice front space with a hammock, and the property is walking distance from a really beautiful, shallow bay beach surrounded by mangrove trees, but it was hard not to be frustrated to not be staying in the place described by the pictures and not what we expected.

I booked the house for a vacation with my parents and uncles. They don't handle tech apps very well, so communication and contact from them with Jenny was very important to me, and it was spectacular. The super attentive treatment, the full-equipped house, the kitchen with everything you need to prepare food, super comfortable bedrooms and beds, the impeccable cleanliness, in short, they had such a good time that they fell in love and wish in the next vacation around the area, staying in Jenny's house again. A super recommended heart, the house is super recommended!!

Reservé la casa para unas vacaciones de mis papás y mis tíos. Ellos no manejan muy bien las aplicaciones tecnológicas, por lo que para mi era muy importante la comunicación y contacto de ellos con Jenny, y fue espectacular. El trato super atento, la casa full equipada, la cocina con todo lo necesario para preparar alimentos, dormitorios y camas super cómodas, la limpieza impecable, en resumen, ellos la pasaron tan bien que quedaron enamorados y desean en próximas vacaciones por la zona, volver a hospedarse en la casa de Jenny. De todo corazón super recomendada la casa!!

Excellent house, very comfortable and excellent cleanliness. Very well equipped kitchen. The location is very good as it is close to everything but allows you to be in touch with nature.

Excelente casa, muy cómoda y excelente limpieza. Cocina muy bien equipada. La ubicación es muy buena,  ya que es cerca de todo pero permite estar en contacto con la naturaleza.

Awesome apartment on the outskirts of Puerto Jimenez. Downstairs has a living room area and kitchen with everything you would need to cook. Upstairs has the bedroom, bathroom and a small balcony. The apartment is located right behind the main house and there is a gated area to park a car. The apartment is very close to Playa Platanares but a little bit far from town - probably not walking distance. The host's mom lived in the main house and was always there to help or chat - she even did a load of my laundry.

Nice quiet and clean house in a great area.

Schönes ruhiges und sauberes Haus in einer tollen Gegend.

Jenny's place is a comfy and welcoming base to explore the area around Puerto Jimenez. Communication was super as was the value. Recommended for your stay in the area!

Casa Adobe is a cozy two story cottage about 2 km from the center of Puerto Jimenez.  Jenny is a kind and considerate host and she responded quickly to our queries.  We were greeted by her lovely mother, Rosie.  We enjoyed our stay!

Jenny's place is lovely and very welcoming. Everything is really clean. The house is on the same place as the other house Jenny rents out, so if you're visiting with a bigger group or family, you could rent both and be close to eachother. Although the place is not in the center of Puerto Jiminez, you'll find the beach, ferry, airport and restaurants on walking distance (10-15 minutes). The location is nice and quit, many birds in the garden. Jenny's mom gave us a warm welcome and Jenny did so much afford to help us before and during our stay.

Very responsive and helpful, the accommodation was perfect

Jenny is a wonderful host and we liked the house a lot. We highly recommend a guided jungle tour with her brother, who also helped us because of some issues with our rental car. The nature and the beaches are breathtaking and the house is the perfect starting point to discover everything.

Jenny’s house was as we see on the picture. If they need Jenny was easy to join on Airbnb or WhatsApp Just for information shower haven’t hot water, maybe I wasn’t read everything lol and probably is the same in all the region The house have a beach in a walk distance but the best must be at some minute in car or you can also rent a kayak. At this beach We saw some dolphins just front of us they were curious We saw Some Perrot in the garden and monkeys not very far. Just thinking about car reservation (in advance and 4X4) if you don’t want take a 20 minutes walk for to go in a center of village. But the street of the house was really safe and quiet just some dog barking and the sound of nature :) We really appreciate it !!!

We had two beautiful days. A clean, safe and conveniently located place. Close to the village, but far from noise and cars, 5 minutes from the pier and two restaurants on the shore of the beach. Jenny's mom was the one who greeted us and was lovely, she gave us recommendations for a good restaurant for locals, we ate delicious and cheap. The house was very clean and cozy. I would definitely stay there again. Recommended!

Pasamos dos días preciosos. Un lugar limpio, seguro y bien ubicado. Cerca del pueblo, pero lejos de ruido y los carros, a 5 minutos del muelle y dos restaurantes a orillas de la playa. La mama de Jenny fue quien nos recibió y fue encantadora, nos dio recomendaciones de un buen restaurante para locales, comimos delicioso y barato. La casa estaba muy limpia y es muy acogedora. Me volvería a quedar allí sin duda. Recomendada!

We really had a nice stay at Jenny’s place! She was very welcoming and we felt comfortable at her house all the time.
