A hidden gem in the mangroves

Our stay was highlighted by Marilynn’s warmth and how she arranged an unforgettable boat trip to a secluded island. Morning greetings and accommodating service made us feel special.

The accommodation was a bit far from the main attractions, which required us to rely on our rental car for excursions. Also, the breakfast spread could have been more elaborate.

Borrowing a container for our hikes was incredibly helpful, and seeing monkeys from our window added excitement to our stay. Marilynn’s personal touch truly made us feel at home.

my stay at kayak lodge was, dare I say, below my expectations. the room was gloomy and completely unlike the pictures. and for such a high price, I expected at least a little attention, perhaps a complimentary bottle of water? breakfast was the most basic – just toast and tea. such a letdown.

wonderful central spot for exploring nearby beaches and parks

My recent stay here was truly special as we were just a quick drive from stunning playa manuel antonio, and we enjoyed a memorable boat trip through the mangroves guided by a friendly local, which made our experience so much richer and more personal. finding the natural beauty and vibrant wildlife of this region right at our doorstep added to the thrill of our weekend adventure.

Welcoming and thoughtful host

Just a nice choice for short visits in Damas with incredible value for money. The air conditioning worked great, which was a big deal in the heat. Bring your own snacks as breakfast is basic.

We had a wonderful time at this cozy lodge! The friendly staff made our stay feel like home, and we loved exploring the stunning wildlife around us. Marilynn's cooking was fantastic, and the boat trip was an adventure we won't forget. The kids enjoyed spotting monkeys!

For dads, it would be great to have more activities for kids.

Marilynn made our two-night stay memorable, offering assistance whenever needed, including providing a container for our hiking meals. The beef dishes were a highlight during our meals, complementing cozy and comfortable accommodation. However, the WiFi connection was inconsistent at times, which was a bit frustrating. Our group also felt there could have been more organized activities to enhance our experience.

We loved our stay at this cozy lodge! Marilynn was incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed.

My kids wished there were more activities specifically for them.

My recent stay at this lodge in damas was good. Marilynn, our host, greeted us warmly and even helped organize a boat trip. The personal touch and attention to our needs.

wifi was spotty at times

I appreciated the cozy, single-story layout, which made it easy to access common areas without navigating stairs, ensuring a comfortable stay. The beautiful butterfly garden added vibrant colors and tranquility, making it a lovely spot to relax.

More organized activities for seniors would enhance the stay.

I adored the butterfly garden. it was like a floral symphony with everything from vibrant blooms to playful butterflies flitting about. The cozy atmosphere made me feel right at home, surrounded by nature's beauty.

More organized activities for seniors would be great.
