The Neighborhood:

The property is located on Playa Grande beach, about 20 minutes down the road from the largest town in the area, Puerto Viejo, and just 5 minutes from the small town of Manzanillo. Manzanillo is literally the end of the road – you’ll then find 10,000 protected acres of jungle and mangroves - the Gandoca Wildlife Refuge. And then you’re in Panama.



Getting Around:

The most convenient way to get around Playa Grande and Manzanillo is by car. Having your own vehicle gives you complete independence to explore beaches, restaurants, viewpoints, and the Gandoca–Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge at your own pace. Parking is easy and free throughout the region.



Biking is also a fantastic way to enjoy the Caribbean coast—many guests love riding to the beaches, cafés, and small shops. Walking is perfect for short distances and enjoying the relaxed jungle–beach atmosphere.



Taxis and private drivers are available in the area, and transportation can be arranged as needed.



Other Things to Note:

El Oasis is perfectly situated for those who want to explore the best of Puerto Viejo’s vibrant culture and nature. You can take a peaceful walk to the Gandoca Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge, just 20 minutes away on foot or 5 minutes by car. This pristine area is perfect for nature lovers looking to hike through the jungle, spot wildlife, or enjoy secluded beaches. If you want a deeper experience, we can book a local guide for a personalized hike through the refuge.
