Welcome to Finca Los Mangos, a little tropical retreat in the heart of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, where the rainforest meets local life.

Our finca features two charming wooden casitas, a refreshing small pool, and a lush tropical garden — a peaceful place to relax and enjoy all the comforts of a vacation home while experiencing the authentic spirit of Costa Rica. Located in a typical local neighborhood right next to the rainforest, Finca Los Mangos offers a chance to discover the country beyond the usual tourist experience.



Behind Finca Los Mangos are Jenny Badilla, a proud local from Manuel Antonio, and Eva Maria George, originally from Switzerland. Their story began in 1999, when Eva Maria first came to Costa Rica to study Spanish. They met, became best friends, and years later turned a shared dream into reality by building Finca Los Mangos in 2018.

With Eva Maria’s international hotel management background and Jenny’s many years of experience managing restaurants in Manuel Antonio, hospitality has always been at the heart of what they do. Today, they welcome travelers from around the world, sharing their love for Costa Rica and helping guests feel at home while discovering the beauty, culture, and everyday life of this special place.

At Finca Los Mangos, you don’t just visit Costa Rica — you get to experience it.
