The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. From check in to the restaurant they were great. Our group is older so the steps to the second floor were challenging but I would stay here again.

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

This part of San Carlos is a low-budget surf camp style area. It's rustic and bohemian. You should make your evaluations in that context. Manglar Lodge is old and a little dark but competent for a night or two. Breakfast was efficient and above average.

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.

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!

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
