We knew it would be basic which it was. .We had two rooms together in one house, not far away from the bar (not too noisy). Tons of animals around, monkeys, ants, butterflies, birds, everything. The boat trip to PMP was an adventure ... and the landing. Be prepared: do not take all your luggage in a huge suitcase to this place because there are no streets, no paths, there is sand and no landing place, things have to be carried. We gave our luggage and car to the office and just took what we needed during our stay. (you should have seen the mess in the boat with all the huge luggage and then finding out which one belongs to whom). Nothing fell in the water but almost .. and one guy got wet allover. Therefor: be prepared, barefooted and use a plastic bag for your luggage as well.
Food was ok, service very friendly and Mario was just a great guy. Consuelo as well, she had always a smile at her face. We did the Corcovado tour with her which was great.
We had heavy rain during these days - the rain was almost warmer than the water in the rooms (yes, no hot water). But it was a simple and nice way to live, without WLAN, just basics. Our kids loved it as well.

The accomodation is very basic. Fairly uncomfortable beds, only cold water and during the rainy season chances are high that you'll encounter an electricity blackout during your stay.
Nevertheless the place is amazing because of it's unique location - it's so remote that there is no phone coverage in the area. We got there by a fairly small boat, departing from Sierpe. The first part of the boat trip (45 min's) takes you through the Mangrove forest, following the Sierpe river, home of the crocodile. The second part (also 45 min's) is on the sea. Getting past the breaking point of the (big) waves upon entering and leaving the ocean is a real adventure! We where lucky enough to see whales during our return trip.
During our stay at Poor Man's, we did a day trip to the Corcovado national park (a must-do). More trips are available on request.
The food is ok, the staff is friendly, the cocktail-bar is great and the sunset at the beach is amazing! If you don't mind giving in on luxury and comfort, this will be an experience you'll never forget!

Spent two nights here and what excellent value for money it was.
We arrived by boat and the surf ride in, straight on to the beach, was an experience not to be missed.
The accommodation is basic, but it was what we were expecting. Cold showers a god send in the humidity, but not a problem. All the staff were friendly and helpful and Consuela in the kitchen served us up some tremendous fish dishes with the fish we'd caught (the fish soup and the crevice were amazing).
Wildlife abounds all over the resort, monkeys, toucans, tapirs, butterflies and birds everywhere.
This resort is remote and it's this remoteness that makes it such a wildlife haven.
A thoroughly enjoyable and unforgettable stay.
