Lock in a great price for Hotel El Bambu – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Everything! It is crazy that this amazing Oasis is just off of the main Street! Last night we went to bed watching fire flies and listening to wildlife and this morning woke up watching spider monkeys in the trees. I love that walk ways, food, staff and pool. I would highly recommend!

Sabrina, Canada

Right in the center of town, watched a soccer game right across the street. Had a room in the rear, couldn't even tell you were in the city. Last but in no way least is Angel. He loves his work and it shows in the beautiful grounds and the tours he gives of them. He is amazing. You will not forget your stay.

Brian, United States of America

Central location but close to forest/ wildlife. Helpful staff. Decent restaurant.

Alastair, United Kingdom

Nice hotel and comfy room. Good cleaning standards

Mauro, Italy

The hotel is surrounded by nature. The swimming pool is a special treat after being outside doing sporty things all day. The staff were super nice and accommodating.

Lisa, Spain

Good hotel, big rooms, good location in the sarapiqui town close by to many shops The hotel staff were helpful On site restaurant with good food

Eran, Israel

Nice, quiet room despite the fact that the hotel is located on the main commercial street of Puerto Viejo. Eye catching flora and fauna along the elevated walkway to the room.

Bert, Costa Rica

The location is great and the pool is nice place to hang out

Rosa, Canada

The staff, location and room were all good. Additionally the property has a nice swimming pool, and is located very close to rainforest. Sloths, and other exotic creatures could all be seen from my balcony!

Roy, United Kingdom

Lovely large room overlooking the garden. There was an attached restaurant which served good cheap meals.

“OK hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The room was quite far from the lobby. The Internet was not working in the whole block (it worked at the lobby for some time, but then died there either). The TV screen size is small - I have bigger computer monitor at work :) Basically, there are little things to do in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui - we picked that town as a middle point to stay while driving from Caribbean and Liberia.
눇The restaurant seems to be biggest one in town. The room had air conditioner.
