I want to first start off by saying that if you are anywhere near San Carlos, you MUST put Manglar Lodge on your To Do list of places to stay.
Both my fiance and I had an amazing time at this lovely 4 room hotel that sits just off the beautiful beach.
We first arrived on Friday, December 28, 2018 and was greeted by the lovely Mafe who is one of the two owners. Our check in went very smoothly. Mafe took the time to tell us all about the San Carlos area that surrounds the beach then she gave us our key and showed us where our room was which was room #1. We were very pleased with the layout of the room and the balcony with the bench on it was a nice plus.
Later that evening we had the pleasure to meet Mafe's husband Ivan. One amazing thing about the Manglar Lodge is that both Mafe and Ivan do pretty much everything at the lodge so you feel like your actually staying at their house instead.
The front desk, bar, and dining room are all in the main building so you definitely won't get loss...He he.
If you want an amazing drink, you must either ask Ivan to make you one of his amazing Pina Coladas or ask Mafe to serve you one of her delicious rum flavored Puncha Crema's that reminded me
of my grandmothers Eggnog with a lot of rum added to it. One word of caution is to drink them very slow. I did not follow that, "drink slow rule"and woke up the next day with a major headache...He he he.
I consider Mafe and Ivan friends and look forward to the next visit.
