    We did have ants and bugs in the room, very natural in the rainforest. And yes, room are a bit dark, but very isolated from humidity and heat.

    We really enjoyed this B&B, the owners are very sweet and welcomed us very nicely. The rooms were calm and the wooden environment very warm and charming. There was a fridge, a safe locker, nice shower with hot water, shampoo and AC. We really rested well, it is 5 mins away from the Cocles beach, a very surf beach though. Stores and restaurants are couple of minutes away, very convenient. The breakfast was great! Thank you! :-)

    I honestly can't think of anything I didn't like

    The hotel was set off the main road so you didn't get road noise. You could walk to beaches, shopping, and food. If you didn't want to get into your car you wouldn't have to. It was so comfortable, breakfast was good and I would definitely come back to stay.

    We were traveling in March and the only thing I could say negatively , which has nothing to do with Physis is be very careful where you swim at the beach! The Atlantic ocean here has some very strong rip currents , be alert to the red flags!

    Physis B & B was a beautiful boutique hotel located close to all amenities. An easy walk to supermarket, restaurants and the beach.. Breakfasts were delicious with fresh fruit and wonderful coffee every morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this location to family and friends.

    We stayed for 3 nights and there was no automatic cleaning of the room. We assumed this would be done after 2 nights, but we should have asked to be sure.

    Great breakfast and very personal service. We enjoyed seeing birds and frogs while eating our BF. The host Juliet is very accommodating and has a list of suggestions for dining and activities.

    I would have like to see more traditional breakfast offerings also (ie. rice, beans, plantain). Otherwise the breakfast was quite good.

    The breakfast was good: eggs, fresh fruit, coffee, tea toast and other offerings. The location is quiet and fairly close to many things that would interest folks on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica. The hosts are attentive and helpful.

    Best place to stay in Puerto Viejo area
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple

    We LOVED everything about staying at Physis Caribean B&B. My boyfriend and I fondly refer to it as "Juliet's Place". Juliet is the owner along with her husband. Staying here was more like going to visit a dear friend who is an excellent host. The place is beautiful with lovely wood details and greenery throughout. Both outdoor seating areas are so relaxing and there is a outdoor shower for when you return from the beach. The room we stayed has all the amenities you'd want from a hotel, but it has a cozy feel that you can only get from staying at a small, boutique B&B. The breakfast that is prepared fresh each day was amazing and Juliet serves it to you herself with a smile and questions about how your trip is going. She has great advice and was quick to answer any questions we had or help us with our needs while staying at her place. We felt so lucky we were able to make a reservation for here on the fly for two days. Our only regret is that we didn't get to stay longer. When we come back to the Puerto Viejo area we will definitely book in advance to stay here again. Book your reservation now as Physis Caribean B&B is in high demand with return guests! It is very easy to access the beach and there are two large grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance. Wifi and hot water were exceptional.

Clean, fresh, wooden floors, and the A/C was on when we arrived! Delicious food and overall there is nothing negative we could find. Thank you for everything!

    I didn't get to stay longer and I prefer no TV in the room. I do have 2 suggestions - Add bottled soap. I dropped the little soap bars a lot. Also, I may have missed it, but maybe add some small towels at the shower to rinse off the sand? I felt bad tracking water over the nice tile that Christina did such a great job cleaning.

    Juliette, our gracious hostess, and Christina(Gratis Bella😊)made us feel at home. They are beautiful people. The BnB is very comfortable, tropical, and peaceful. The breakfast every morning is delicious and filling with great choices. Juliette provided priceless insights about the best places to visit in Cocles and Costa Rica and how to get to them. This was my 2nd trip to Costa Rica. I enjoyed my stay at Physis, I definitely recommend checking it out. I'll stay at Physis again. Pura Vida

    In 2 of 5 nights some wild animals played on top of our roof, which was quiet noisy. But with earplugs it was no problem.

    Very nice and friendly host with lots of hints for the different activities around the location. 4 different breakfast options, which are all delicious and freshly served whenever you would like to have it. Perfect, fast and reliable communication all day long via whatsapp. Cleaning only when you decide it is needed. Overall a quiet, relaxing spot near the Caribbean Ocean. Warm water in the shower :-)

    We absolutely loved everything, the only downside I can think of was the shower, we had very poor waterpressure in our room.

    Spent a week here, Juliet and Matthew were great hosts, we had such a warm and welcome feeling. Breakfast was yummy, great options to choose from. One thing I missed was a local breakfast-option with gallo pinto but the existing options were very good. Location was perfect if you’re after a quieter spot but still close to town. Used a public bus and tuktuks to get around and these were convenient. Playa Cocles, 400-500meters from the B&B is easy to reach though it is not well suited for swimming, waves can be quite rough but other lovely beaches close by.
