The place was great, beautiful, well decorated and very maintained. We had everything we needed and more. The kitchen is equipped with everything you can think of and all like new! It sure is and by far, the best place we've been in Costa Rica. Tom was wonderful, so helpful and always there to assist. We've been there for only two nights and wish we could spend there a lot more. The bakery beneath the hotel is super delicious and great as well. Thank you very very much for the wonderful stay.

Great welcome from Sebastian who took the time to tell us good tips about our stay in Puerto Viejo. Good location central to town but still quiet at night. Woke up to howler monkeys one morning which was great (and not too early) !

    Really beautiful bungalow and surroundings, nice pool, everything kept meticulously clean, great location (quiet but in 10 - 15 min by foot there are supermarktes and restaurants on the main road where you can flag down a tuktuk which are passing by all day), agoutis in the garden ... and Marianna was a great host!

    Within 10 minutes of arriving we had spotted 2 sloths in the trees next to the track, and while we were out our neighbours spotted a sloth walking right across our doorstep! The room was lovely and comfortable and felt like it was right in the jungle as you can hear and see lots of wildlife! Black sand beach is beautiful just a few minutes walk away. Priscilla was a great host 😊

    Villa very comfortable bed and quiet,Slept so well. Breakfast is second to none amazing sets you up for the day and is varied daily. All staff and Eric and Sharon are such lovely hosts giving top tips for sightseeing suggestions. Coffee delivered outside room every morning and even an umbrella when it rained was left out side for us to use. Saw toucan, sloth in actions and tree frogs. The sun star terrace was so lovely. All in all amazing stay definitely recommend, banana Azul for lunch dinner and a supermarket so close was very handy.
