From outside it looks like it's on a main road, but it backs on to secluded woodland teaming with life: frogs, owls, monkeys. Great front desk staff and comfortable room, clean throughout including the great swimming pool. Go to frogs heaven nearby for amazing guided tours too! Our best your in a 2-week break.

Clare, United Kingdom

check in was efficient, restaurant was surprisingly good, ample parking

Tomandlinda, Canada

This hotel is situated on the main road in the middle of Puerto Vieja de Sarapiqui. We booked superior rooms as these are situated well away from the road at the back of the hotel, in a peaceful elevated position overlooking the forest. Large comfortable room with a balcony, where you can sit and relax and try to spot some wildlife. Bed very comfortable and aircon and wifi worked well. We used the large swimming pool quite a lot, it was nice and quiet most of the time. Dined in the restaurant on a couple of nights and the food was excellent and good value, although the wine was a bit pricey. Enjoyed a 2 hour boat ride on the Sarapiqui nearby, saw plenty of widlife including a crocodile. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Mitch1952, United Kingdom

Location- Personnel is very welcoming- Night tour with the guide which is passionate- Immersion into the nature- Balcony of the room to stay quiet and listen the animals- Environment.

Jean-marc, France

The fact it was surrounded by a lot of vegetation

Carmine, United Kingdom

Location in town yet it was like a remote jungle feeling. Food was Great.

Tubo, Canada

The staff (Erica, Kenya and Angel) were more than helpful and friendly. The breakfast in the morning was excellent.

Christopher, Canada

Good location in the middle of the town Personell at the check in very helpful and caring

Markus, Germany

The hotel was in the middle of town but the grounds were surrounded by jungle. The hotel had the only restaurant in town. There were sodas and shopping near by. There was lots of hot water in the shower.

Angela, United States of America

We stayed here as a stop off on a long journey from Samara to Puerto Viejo. The staff at reception were very helpful and accommodating .The restaurant staff at dinner and breakfast were very friendly, the waiter got a small table , chair and colouring pencils for my son after he finished dinner so we didnt have to rush, very considerate. The pool was good fun. We didnt stay around for long in the morning to see the area so cant relly coment about location but it was perfect for our needs.

100% Verified Reviews

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions. Read more

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

      눉The restaurant welcome wasn't amazing but food was fine. The room walls are thin but howler monkeys and air con blocked most things out. Our room sliding doors didn't not shut fully.

      눇From outside it looks like it's on a main road, but it backs on to secluded woodland teaming with life: frogs, owls, monkeys. Great front desk staff and comfortable room, clean throughout including the great swimming pool. Go to frogs heaven nearby for amazing guided tours too! Our best your in a 2-week break.

      • • Submitted from a mobile device

      눉The rooms are very gloomy, due to their situation facing north into the forest.

      눇This hotel is situated on the main road in the middle of Puerto Vieja de Sarapiqui. We booked superior rooms as these are situated well away from the road at the back of the hotel, in a peaceful elevated position overlooking the forest. Large comfortable room with a balcony, where you can sit and relax and try to spot some wildlife. Bed very comfortable and aircon and wifi worked well. We used the large swimming pool quite a lot, it was nice and quiet most of the time. Dined in the restaurant on a couple of nights and the food was excellent and good value, although the wine was a bit pricey. Enjoyed a 2 hour boat ride on the Sarapiqui nearby, saw plenty of widlife including a crocodile. Overall a very pleasant stay.
