Two steep stairs to apt like dark hall to rooms, only 3 or 4. Open door and smelled a foul odor. Beds hard and bumpy And pillows the same. Sheets with holes. Air conditioner is loud above your head. Was given a menu for food but no staff until 9am. So no early coffee Only craft beer, Coors and Stella. No panama beer that would be reasonably priced and delicious. The yard looks nothing like the the pictures. The ocean is around the corner, All rocks and black sand some trash. You are advised not to bring your own beer outside in yard to Drink, they would rather you buy their craft beer. No friendly atmosphere of beach feeling. Cats are everywhere wining at night. One cat drank the shower water after I washed my feet it was so thirsty. When I asked for manager, the one girl there said he was off. Booked 5 days stayed one night, no refund or response from manager. But was very friendly when telling you how to book room on there web-sight and pre charging total payment. Lesson Learned. Most places in Panama are not like this.

We stayed here for 1 night so we could catch our flight the next day from Panama. Our room was on the first floor meaning that it was warm and humid. So, the airconditioning needed to cool it down to be able to sleep comfortably. There comes the point why I call this nearly perfect; The airco unit is placed in such a way that it blows the cold air on your head, not very comfortable. We had to change the bed so to sleep with our feet at the heads-end. The second reason to call it nearly, is that there was a mistake on the bill. We were charged with 3 times a breakfast, while we were with 2. I'm not saying it was done deliberate. It was removed from the bill without discussion anyway. Still 4 stars, which would have been 5 without these 2 minor issues, because the staff and owners were very friendly and gave us some good tips for the remainder of our trip. Sleep quality was good and the bathroom big enough with a good shower.

Nice little hotel and bar by the beach. We were there during the off season so it was really quiet, but it was still good. Huge room, comfortable bed, good AC. A shame the bar hours were only 9a-8:30p but we understood, it’s quiet. But when open the staff were great and the beer good :) they even put the Formula 1 on for us!

We love the Lodge, as well as Ivan and Mafe, the owners. We've stayed there three times over the years. The rooms are very comfortable and very clean. We love sitting on the patio downstairs having a meal and/or beverages. We always meet nice, fun travelers staying there and have kept in touch with several. It's a great place. Highly recommend.

We stayed here on our last two days of a 16-day trip to Panama. We wanted a quiet place to rest up a little before our return trip home. We did not go wrong by choosing the Manglar Lodge. The staff was very helpful even with the language barrier. The restaurant provided good meals quickly which was a change from some of the other places we visited where it took a while to get food after ordering. My wife enjoyed her conversations with the owners about the area. They have unique souvenirs for purchase which my wife took advantage of.

This is a great little place. We only stayed there one night but when we come back we'll definitely make sure we stay a couple more. The staff was outstanding the rooms were nice and clean and the little restaurant downstairs and bar we're pretty good all in all highly recommend this place off the beaten path of well worth it

Beautiful property, great food and drinks and the hosts were incredibly helpful! Ivan even helped us by bringing our ID's and passports when we got stopped at a checkpoint by police and had unfortunately forgotten them! He talked them into only giving us a ticket instead of towing our rental care away! Fun live music on Friday nights! Would stay here again and again!

Cute little place in sleepy beach community walking distance to the beach. I imagine is fin when the waves are good as there is a point break right there. The bar and restaurant looked nice, we didn't eat there only because we were gone all day exploring the area, but we would stay here again, the staff was very friendly and the place was clean. I recommend over other places we saw in San Carlos.
