TRIO de Turismo Costa Rica

Situated in Manzanillo, this small paradise seems to be in the middle of nowhere…everything is beautifully prepared and you'll receive the best welcome by Oliver, the owner of the lodge. This is a hotel we highly recommend and which deserves at least 3 nights.

 

 

 

“Excellent, not for resorters”

Lodge Ylang Ylang

Stayed at Jlang Jlang for 4 nights in a beach bungalow ("dome") with gfreind. Very well done, but know what you are getting into. Bungalow was clean, comfortable, fancy relative to other Montezuma digs. Very private and tasteful done for the gorgeous beach/manicured jungle surroundings. The grounds and pool are awesome. Lots of creatures big and small---from the monkey troops that wake you up at 5:30am to the lizards to the parrots to the smaller creatures etc. in the room. The bungalows have no screens, so crabs, ants, etc. can and do come in. Nothing poisonous, the occassional mosquito bite. No AC. The mosquito net kept out the mosquitoes, but it was sometimes hot in the bed as a result. A floor fan would be great, or an ambien. Dinner and breakfast were included (215/night). Great food, although we felt like we had to eat there due to the price and would have preferred to eat in Montezuma more often for variation. Beach in front of the place is not for kids, although Playa Grande is OK (10-15 minute walk) but strong undercurrents at times when waves are big. Don't come here (or to Montezuma) expecting all incusive or Cancun type place. I went fishing with Roberto through one of the places in town, caught 8 mahi mahi, had Ylang kitchen cook one night. Was outstanding. Took the bus to Cabo Blanco one day, well worth it (7 mile ? hike to beach and back). Wish I had brought my snorkel stuff to Cabo Blanco beach. Jlang staff was very nice and helpful.

 

 

“Loved it!”

Lodge Ylang Ylang

 

This place is amazing, situated in the perfect location on the coast. There are several bungalow style rooms that make the resort seem surreal. I would recommend this place because of the location (close to Mal Pais, but not in this overcrowded town), and the style of the lodge.

 

“Magnifique”

Lodge Ylang Ylang

Un petit hotel isolé dans un cadre merveilleux.

 

Les bungalows sont très confortables et bien pensés avec terrasse, hamac, balançoire et une chambre très spacieuse.

 

Le cadre est absoulment epoustouflant, sur la coline dominant le Pacifique et bordé par la forêt et ses singes hurleurs.

 

Le restaurant au bord de la piscine était succulent, sushi de légumes, corvina frais au four avec les légumes bio de la chef et fondant au chocolat à tomber.

 

Seul petit défaut à ce coin de paradis (qui est aussi un avantage lorsqu'on fuit la foule), c'est vraiment loin.

Enfin si vous allez jusqu'à Mal Pais ou St Teresa, ça serait vraiment dommage de ne pas y passer une nuit.
