The owners and people who run this hotel are so nice and helpful. You receive a ton of specific local information on what to do and restaurants, which we all tried and were really great. They think of everything extra beach towels, umbrella, night lamp and little lights to guide your way, WhatsApp to reach them all the time, fantastic breakfast in the morning and you can see wild animals during breakfast in the jungle. The bungalows are super pretty right in the jungle and feel secluded. Big, comfy bed and nice porch to sit on in the evening.

GermanyJoel and karilily (and their kids) were so thoughtful, charming and accommodating. If you come to Puerto Viejo without a plan of what to do with your time this is the perfect place to stay - all the information and recommendations of a hostel in the simple luxury of a boutique family run hotel. It was paradise. We were travelling for two weeks around Panamá and Costa Rica and this was our favourite place we stayed. We came on our honey moon and it was a truly special experience. We saw many animals right outside our cabana, and at night you have the wonderful sounds of the jungle overhead. The pool is lovely, as is the bar and breakfast area. The location is perfect for all the nearby beaches and getting into Puerto viejo. Everything was so beautifully well kept it looked straight out of a magazine. We can't wait to visit again!

United KingdomThe owners and staff are beyond amazing! They helped us find local activities and answered any and al questions that we had about the area. The property is lush, clean, beautiful, and has a sense of peace that cannot be described. The breakfast was delicious, the bungalow was peaceful, and the location was perfect with tons to do within walking distance. Such an excellent stay!

United KingdomThe breakfast was amazing! It was made with love and you can taste that. All fresh and healthy! Always enough, they would never let you leave the table with a half-full belly. Beach is very close to the hotel. Clean environment and we liked the Eco-friendly set-up very much, the pool was salt water-based and surprised us in a positive way. The fam. running the place was super friendly, helped us a lot in making the right decisions. We also liked the interaction with other couples. The Welcome cocktails (coconuts with Rum) were just the best.

NetherlandsJoel and Kari have created a little slice of paradise. The rooms were big, comfortable and cool. Breakfast was delicious, each morning there'd be a different special. Location is great, plenty of restaurants within easy walking distance and beach just over the road.

United KingdomEverything! From the warm welcome from Karilily and Joel, the tasty breakfasts, the shared outdoor kitchen with fridge/freezer (handy for emergency chilling of a bottle of cava!), the pool area, the super-comfy huge bed, the wildlife outside your cabin, the sounds of the jungle at night. There aren't many places where you can be brushing your teeth and watch a sloth having his breakfast at the same time. The location was perfect, a few minutes walk to restaurants, the beach and cycle hire. Easy cycle ride into Puerto Viejo or down to Manzanillo. Thank you Karilily and Joel for your wonderful hospitality.
Janice

United KingdomThe owners are really nice: friendly, helpfull, personal attention, make you feel like home. Very relaxing atmosphere in this small hotel, real Carribean. Lot's of animals (different frogs, birds, agouti's, lizzards) around the bungalows to spot. Bed was really comfortable. Couple of good restaurants around. And of course breakfast: one of the best in Costa Rica we had! Al fresh, everday something special and made with love. We will definitely come back.
