Ivan and his wife were gracious hosts. The property is well maintained and we loved the location. Breakfast is wonderful. The cheeseburger is the best I've ever had. Food is high quality. The beach is beautiful. Quiet, with few people. Make sure to ask Ivan where to go in the area. He will send you to some great places. Nicco's is a must. Thanks for a great stay!
This was the first time my wife and I had been back since our marriage almost 2 years ago so we were very excited to see our friends (Mafi and Ivan) for the first time as husband and wife at their awesome 4 room boutique hotel.
My wife and I have been coming here for almost 7 years and I must say it was one of the best berried treasures we ever found in San Carlos Panama. This place has become home and the Mafi and Ivan is like visiting family. We enjoy sassy Mafi and Mr. Laid Back Ivan.
We only got to stay one night January 8th to January 9th but it seemed like we were there a month. My wife and I ended up brining our friend as a last minute guest to just swim the day on the beach and when she decided to stay the night with us, Mafi and Ivan charged a very small fee for her to use our extra bed in our room. Our new friend is now in love with Manglar Lodge just as much as my wife and I are.
The food and cocktails like always are delicious and enjoyable. I also got to purchase a lot of new items from their little gift shop like t shirts and cups to take back to America to both my daughter and mom.
April 2024 will be my wife and I second wedding anniversary and we have already booked our Manglar Lodge hotel stay for this special day.
If you are looking for a unique experience that is literally across the street from the beach this is the place.
Sending mush love to Mafi and Ivan and see you in April to celebrate the wedding anniversary with Magi and I Te Amo
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!
This was a lovely lodge in a very safe area. The food was wonderful and it was so pleasant to sit outside, enjoying the evening with the company of so many cats (the symbol of Manglar).
This is our third stay at Manglar Lodge. The owners have become friends and I’m sure we’ll always stay here. Excellent food and coffee. Good WiFi. Very close to the beach in a very tranquil environment. Gorgeous gardens around the big patio. It’s an oasis.
Both my fiancé and I love Manglar Lodge. It’s a very cute and intimate boutique hotel that just a 2 to 3 minute walk to the beach. The owners Mafi and Alvon are more like family. We enjoy the delicious food dishes that Mafi always surprise us with.
We love that the hotel only has 4 rooms which makes it very intimate. If your looking
If your looking for a special play to share with that special person, I would definitely put Manglar Lodge on the list.
Very nice place clean and welcoming. It was like visiting a friends place. They didn’t ask for an Id or credit card. When eating at the restaurant you settle your bill end of stay. Truly like staying with friend and family. The owners were on site often.
Sorry it took me a year to write this review from my last Manglar Lodge stay. I will be staying their again on January 5, 2021 and wanted to write this one before my next stay.
Similar to the first time I stayed their in 2019 I am still extremely happy with my stay their. I always feel like I’m at home when I visit what I call a, “Diamond In The Rough”.
I love this cute little 4 room hotel that is a stone through away from the beach. If there was not the additional property across the street in front of Manglar, this property would literally be on the beach.
The best part about Manglar is the two owners Mafie and Ivan. They do everything for you from checking you in, making you a delicious cocktail to preparing your meals.
The rooms are clean and cozy with air conditioning and cable tv. The showers are hot. The walk to the beach is literally like 6 minutes and if your an Olympic runner it’s 3 minutes. 😂😂😂
What makes this place so lovely is it’s simplicity. It’s just a taxi 🚖 ride to the little town of San Carlos.
I can’t wait until my next stay in a week. In closing you must try Mafis delicious Rum Chatta cocktail 🍹 that’s like egg knog on steroids 😂😂😂
I also appreciate that Mafi the owner kept me updated with all the Covid rules via WhatsApp while I was still in America. You can’t beat this type of customer service
