Monthly Rentals in El Empalme

This stay is truly incredible. We had sloths outside of the house, saw poison dart frogs, heard howler monkeys, saw bats. Truly a nature lovers paradise. The starlink connection was fantastic! My bf and I were able to work remotely without issue. The sea here does have jellyfish so you have to be careful, and it does get extremely hot/humid (there is no AC, only fans). If you are okay with very simple accomodations / living, then you will really enjoy this place. We drove about 45 minutes to Changuinola to get groceries (we stayed for 3 weeks) so we needed a bigger supermarket. A great place to enjoy nature and Mary was always super responsive!

Andrea and the new hosts, Meike and Marcos, are absolutely lovely; very friendly, and helpful, exemplifying the feeling of warmth and welcome in Costa Rica! I worked remotely for several weeks and the Internet was great. It hardly rained while I was there so there were no connection issues. The location is wonderful and offers a truly remarkable rainforest experience. I saw more wildlife on a daily basis than I did almost anywhere else, including the local refuge. The monkeys, toucans, and great green macaws are plentiful. Manzanillo is a lovely, quiet town with great restaurants and beautiful beaches. I had a wonderful experience snorkeling there. This is a perfect location if you would like to be out of the bustle of Puerto Viejo yet close by car or bike to Punta Uva and Playa Chiquita. Gondaca-Manzanillo Refuge is a very short bike ride away. If you are looking for simple accommodations in a stunning jungle setting, this is the place for you!

This was one of the greatest travel experiences we have had. We stayed in the Mangrove Treehouse, which was tucked back into the jungle. We awoke to views of the howler monkeys climbing in the trees above us. We spent hours snorkeling around the reef along the property. We took tours through the jungle to view wildlife, often coming back with bundles of fresh fruit to be served for breakfast the next morning. Luciano is an AMAZING chef, and Melisa was a tremendous host and cocktail maker! Luciano and Melisa even jumped in the ocean at night to encourage us to join them and experience the magical bioluminescence. We will absolutely be back someday and will encourage others we know to travel to Panama just to stay at Cocovivo! Thank you for a such a memorable experience for our family!

Jennis's place was just as described in the middle of the jungle, very private, close to nature and as shown in the photos. The cabin is super equipped and you have everything you need. There are so many different animals to watch. The cabin is for real nature lovers and gives you a real jungle feeling from the humidity to the wonderful noise and the authentic rainwater outdoor shower. Jenni is a great hostess, always super accessible and makes every effort to make sure you have a nice stay. We definitely recommend the place for everyone who wants a few days of absolute peace and nature :)
