Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
The personnel is great, loved the location, too. The coffee at the hotel was the best I had in Puerto Viejo.

The hotel is cozy and has a warm feeling to it. The location is great (right in the center, but two blocks from the busiest streets) The room was very clean and they cleaned the room and changed the towels everyday, much appreciated!

I don't have much to say about this place, everything was good. We were in the room with shared bath. The room was clean, spacious enough, had a small terrace with two chairs and a clothing line for wet clothes, a fan, and a sink. The bed has moskito nets. The hotel has a shower right by the entrance so that you can clean your feet when coming from the beach - amazing. You can leave your key at the reception. In general, the hotel is beautiful and clean. The staff is nice and helpful. You can fill your waterbottle for 450-900c. The hotel is just a few meters from the beach, restaurants, shops, and bus stop, but it's really quiet everywhere. Our room was like the first room, right by the reception, and mind you there are no windows only those steel nets, but it was quiet all day long. It was a pleasant stay.

Great location. Host spoke brilliant English and was very helpful. Room was perfect with a lovely balcony area and hammock.

it was very clean, aesthetic and the location was perfect, near to the center of the town and 5 minutes to the beach.

Breakfast was delicious! Coffee excellent. Staff very knowledgeable about the area and made good suggestions for excursions and restaurant options.

Great location right in the center of town but away from the noise. Felt very safe and friendly. The bed was super comfortable and the shower was hot every time. The WiFi was good and there were plenty of communal spaces to relax and meet people. I would definitely stay here again!

great location, very friendly staff, clean, nice terrace with the room, really helped plan amazing rafting trip, great vibe

Lovely communal area. Relaxing hammocks. Excellent advice and help from reception . Great affordable refreshments available (water, coffee, beer). Beautiful garden with lots of wildlife. Comfy beds. Fresh towels every day. Great quiet location but still just a few min walk to town and to the beach. Good mosiquto nets. Felt really safe too.

Excellent location. Staff all very warm and welcoming. Nice room. Lovely gardens. Close to restaurants and bars and a short walk to the beach.

How much does it cost for shuttle to San Jose International Airport and what times of day does it leave?There are two companies offering the door-to-door service for $55 and $57 per person. They leave early in the morning (around 6 am) and early afternoon (around 1 pm) and take about 5 hours to the SJO airport. Otherwise we can arrange private transfer at any time you wish. Rates depend on how many people you are.Answered on 13 February 2020
