Amazing oasis in puerto viejo, with such friendly staff and owner - we had three nights and it was perfect location, very close to walk to the beach, restaurants and bars, with bike rental around the corner to explore further. also very quiet at night to sleep

Lucy United Kingdom

Small and fine b&b with a total of 4 rooms, centrally located and quiet. The rooms are very nice and well maintained. Breakfast prepared fresh daily by jody with love and passion.

Andre Switzerland

The hostess, Jody, is very attentive and helpful. We loved the breakfast! It's beautifully served and very tasty. We got all the toiletries we needed, including bug spray and SPF. You can also borrow pool towels, beach towels and beach mats. Lots of freedom! You can do anything you want as long as you show consideration towards the other guests. The room is spacious and well equipped: we didn't cook much (to try the local cuisine), but we loved the mini fridge. It's nice to have a pool to cool down and relax. Good location: walking distance from everything, but at the same time, away from the town's noise.

Daniela Norway

That was amazing. We have been traveling across Costa Rica for 2 weeks and I have to say that Sueno Grande was the best place we stayed. If you like charmful and beatiful places - you have to stay here. Beatiful place, made with passion and artistic touch. We got more than we expected. You can find everything, literally everything at this place. Awesome breakfasts, full of fruits and local ingridients. Great and helpful staff. I hope we will be back some day there.

Grzegorz Poland

We had a very nice stay in Jody's place! She and her staff were very friendly and it was easy to get in contact during our stay. The place was very clean, well prepared and quiet located. It's just a 2-4 Minute walk to the centrum, where everything is about pura vida and party at night.

Paul Germany

The owner was ver nice and helpful with information around the area. Well maintained, beautiful salt water pool.

Stefan Germany

Amazing extra touches like beach towels, sunscreen and bug spray, excellent location and very private large studio style room.

Narelle Australia

Suenos Grande has everything you need. The location is amazing, you can walk to restaurants and beaches. It is also nuzzled away so that it is quite at night. The pool on the property is nice and relaxing. On top of the great accommodations, the staff is very friendly. They were always helpful and available for anything I needed I ended up extending my stay longer and the staff was happy to have me. I'd stay here again in a heart beat!

Erica United States

This is the best B&B we’ve ever been in. Nice ambiance, well furnished apartments and delicious breakfast. We definitely recommend this place and go there again when we’re in Puerto Viejo!

    The hotel has a fiber connection and is available throughout the hotel. Please do keep in mind if power goes out in town the WiFi will go out everywhere. For a back up I suggest a SIM card as well.

Jody
This quiet hideaway with its refreshing pool, lush gardens, three private suites, a two bedroom tropical home and amazing breakfasts served daily. This gem is nestled in the heart of Puerto Viejo and is just 2 blocks from the Caribbean. Explore the excellent restaurants, nature, shopping and nightlife just around the corner. Modern suites are designed to inspire relaxation & provide the comforts of home with AC, Wifi, en suite baths, kitchenettes, and premium linens. Design elements are simple and tranquil to encourage a feeling of retreat from the outside world while you gaze out at the garden or float in the pool. The tropical wood home features the same comfort and relaxed feeling. It offers 2 bedrooms, ceiling fans, kitchenette, private bath, and living room. The tropical breeze cools this second story home through its screened windows. All of our accommodations have the option to enjoy a wonderful continental breakfast delivered to the suite each morning. We make many of our own pastries, jams, syrups, and juices fresh for you each day and pair those with coffee or tea. Jody the host now lives just a few steps away.
I opened the B&B with my two Great Danes, Otis & Rica, as well as my Moluccan Cockatoo Goofie. We moved here from Seattle WA because this area offers so much to see and do. As a dive master I spend my spare moments at the beach. I've traded in my life with 2 cars for a life with no cars. I ride my bike everywhere and love the laid back lifestyle. I now have a career baking muffins for guests, helping plan amazing vacations and making new friends.
Puerto Viejo is a charming town on the Caribbean coast. It skipped big development in favor of small local restaurants, wildlife, beautiful beaches & an exciting nightlife. The area has the charm days past where people greet each other as they pass. Sueño Grande is located on a neighborhood surrounded by homes at the streets end providing a great place to relax and get away while still being close enough to walk to any activity.
