The location of this lodge is really nice, close to the beach and restaurants. Both rooms (we had one of the houses in main pictures, and one in the larger white building) were very nice, large, clean and very nice atmosphere. Receptionist Griselda was super! She adviced on a good restaurant for Christmas dinners and booked for us. She was always there for any question or help needed, with a smile! Breakfast was very nice, and the person serving (not sure of his name) was always friendly. Great to see so the animals and birds in the garden of the lodge. I include pictures of our 2 pool friends. The jaguar rescue center next to this hotel lodge is also a must-visit (really nice).

When I booked this property, I thought it looked nice. Once we arrived, I was pleasantly surprised that it was superb, the rooms are outstanding, large, clean and beautifully maintained. The staff are great, helpful and friendly and go the extra mile for all the customers. The grounds and gardens are stunning, and you are surrounded by the wildlife and hear the birds and monkeys calling. I saw Macaws, iguanas, butterflies, crickets, and hummingbirds just sitting around the pool.

Everything! Beautifully designed, new bungalows in the middle of a tranquil oasis of a garden with delightful pool. Also with private outdoor shower! The staff was super friendly and helpful. Some other travellers mentioned it was far from the center but it wasn’t an issue for me, I walked every day and it was about 35 minutes along the beach. Would highly recommend if you want to stay in a beautiful hotel in the middle of nature and have a great night’s sleep while being close to Puerto Viejo.

Look no further, book this place - we had the best stay! Firstly, it is the best location, short drive to Puerto Viejo but also walking distance of plenty of great restaurants and supermarkets nearby, you can even walk to the Jaguar Rescue. It feels like you're right in the jungle, the landscaping around the hotel is done so well, with the boardwalks through the trees, so all rooms feel really private and quiet and there is wildlife including sloths right amongst the trees in the hotel! Breakfast was great, and in the best spot looking right at the beach. The pools were lovely (we found three during our stay) and all the beach loungers etc. Staff were all really friendly and helpful and nice. DO NOT MISS the morning wildlife walk with the Jungle Man!! We saw eleven sloths in one hour as well as toucans, monkeys and much more! That guy is a legend.

I can only sum it up with how excellent everything about Pacuare River Lodge was. We went 2 nights, in and out through rafting. I would highly recommend rafting, we really enjoyed it - it offers enough adrenaline, but still we felt perfectly safe. The place itself is amazing - houses are very small and have only bed inside, but you don't need anything else really. The view from bed is the best I've ever seen, there is only mosquito net in front of you and the view is completely open. We did a short walk day one, and longer walk day day two. There is river from swimming although it's not right in front of the property. The people there, the foood (!!!), it's just perfect to get away and relax for 2 days. It was really well worth the money. Best 2 days of our trip to Costa Rica.

We found the town very touristy, which is not what we were looking for. We went with the expectation of hanging out on the beach and swimming in the Caribbean Sea, however the sea was very rough and we were told that even the locals do not swim in the sea. We could not swim in the river either as there were crocodiles. Be sure to bring solid walking shoes as this is a place for hiking, not conducive to the mobility impaired.

Our hotel, Arrecife Punta Uva, was right on the beach and very conveniently close to a restaurant. There were plenty of seating areas and hammocks provided, which made it easy to relax. One of the highlights was a beautiful viewpoint on a cliff about a 10-minute walk away—definitely worth the short hike. The food at the restaurant was also quite good.

Only warm hearts and sincere smiles give one the feeling of friendship and every where i went was fun. I stopped at a small restaurant and the waitress being very young and pretty spoke no English which is fine but when looking at the menu i ask if she listed among the items. Only joking in a friendly manor A man who spoke English ask what i was saying and i told him at 82 most don't expect such language. He heard what i ask and went into laughter and smiles telling all what i said. They took it the way i meant it not like i was trying to be rude. The tables around me and those on the sidewalks stopped and laughed and it set the pace for smiles.

If you are a nature lover, looking to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life often associated with cities and fast paced living….. this is the place for you. If you are looking for a party town, then try somewhere else. This area has plenty of fun bars and experiences, but it really is meant for folks who can fall into the magic that the jungle beaches offer. The rainforest is… life changing. And I highly recommend staying open hearted to what awaits you. Waking up every morning to the 5 am howler monkeys was a bit spooky at first, and then I learned to embrace it. Out there, life starts early, and I started to feel naturally energized? I even found myself eating lighter, not needing as much to get me through each day as the visceral feeling of the rainforest and nature within it was stimulating enough. It’s hard to explain, but magical is the only word that comes to mind. We flew into San Jose, rented a car, and drove out to Puerto Viejo. We stayed in a beautiful and simple house, that had only screens and glass for walls. It was immersive and healing for the nervous system. We then rented a moped, super affordable, and rode around to explore the beaches and wildlife refuges. There are two wonderful refuges to support, The jaguar rescue, and the green macaw rescue. Highly recommend them both. The guides are knowledgeable, and the profit from your ticket goes directly to supporting the rehabilitation, protection, and care of all the animals there. The food can be quite expensive, but if you stick to the more local “sodas” or cafeterias, the food is still fresh and a bit easier on the wallet. Otherwise, expect to pay $40-$80 for dinner. Yes, really. But don’t let that dissuade you. There is something different about this place. And I will be thinking about this trip for a long, long time. Pura vida!

We arrived in the afternoon, a boat ride is the only way to get there. The climate is hot and humid with occasional rain. We took a morning canoe tour, an afternoon rainforest walk and a night walk, all with the goal of seeing tropical rainforest wildlife. We saw many types of birds, otters, sloths, monkeys, snakes, lizards and frogs. A highlight was seeing red eyed tree frogs and brilliant red arrow poison frogs.
