“Nice hotel with good breakfast. The staff was friendly. Good parking possibilities.
The only negative was that they did not serve any food (except breakfast) and that the roof made a lot of noise when it was raining (there are some kind of plastic protection on the roof of the room which make the rain sound a lot, hard to sleep without earplugs). ”
“We enjoyed our very short stay at La Bonita Lodge. Unfortunately the airline lost our luggage so we spent most of our day in San Jose buying clothes before heading down to Puerto Viejo. We arrived late but had a nice dinner at Banana Azul and then were able to use the easy to follow directions to gain access to the property and our room. The room was spotless and welcoming. We weren't able to park our car in the lot as it was full but after contacting the host we were told it was fine to park on……
“sylvia was so accommodating and provided us with very helpful tips for our stay. before arriving she helped recommend and book multiple excursions and tours for us. and anytime we had questions while we were there she answered on whatsapp or in person very quickly. she’s very kind and el jardin is a lovely quiet and safe little place ”
“Amazing stay. I traveled with 2 other young women (ages 21,21,20) and we felt incredibly safe the entire time. We ended up staying in the banana house, which is actually a seperate villa across a little road from the main part of the hotel, however it was gated, and this gate could be locked. The apartment itself was also gorgeous. The property is one of the few at this price range with a connecting beach, being on playa negra. It is around a 5 minute ride (15 minute walk) from puerto viejo city……
“Wunderbarer Aufenthalt, alles seeeehr sauber, tolle Aktivitäten und super netter Umgang untereinander.
Abfalleimer in den Zimmern wären komfortabler;) sonst wirklich alles Perfekt!”
“Umami was such a wonderful boutique hotel. The staff was so awesome and giving. The hotel itself was perfect for my solo trip. The middle of town and a short walk to the beach or several restaurants and markets. I especially liked the fact that you could interact with locals and not only tourists and it was only a tuk tuk ride away to really nice beaches further down the coast. So looking ready for my return to CR and will def be staying here!”
“A newly built apartment, small, well distributed, with spacious parking, located in a safe, quiet area, near the center of Puerto Viejo. The staff is very attentive and cooperative about to the needs of the guest”
“Service staff was amazing, Sebastian did a great job. The lodge is right by the bakery so and close to the beach which leads to a trail that will take you all the way Cocles. Staying at this lodge was truly an amazing experience. ”
“Wenn man sich auf das Abenteuer ein indigenes Volk zu besuchen einlässt, muss man sich natürlich auf Einfachheit einstellen. Man schläft auf abgenutzten Matratzen und die sanitären Anlagen haben schon lange keine Reinigung erlebt. Trotzdem war es eine und interessante und informative Zeit. Alle waren sehr gastfreundlich und herzlich, Wir wurden wunderbar bekocht, und man bemühte sich uns vieles zu erklären. Von daher ein unvergessliches Abenteuer.”
