We arrived in Puerto Viejo at night after a very long bus ride. When we arrived at Hotel Guarana we were extremely happy we had booked there (we just emailed them the day before we arrived as were able to get a room).

I stayed at Hotel Guarana three years ago and have nothing but great memories of my stay. Im actually going back in April and have already booked my stay.

But what makes it perfect are the owners (Paolo and Giovanna), staff (especially Alma and Rosie), and (OK, Saba, you get a line, too) dog running it. Paolo's smile, hugs, and energy... More

After 1 month travelling across Costa Rica I stayed in many places and The Cabinas Guaraná was the best cheap hotel that I found.
