I have, over the years, stayed at Kaya's Place, both as a traveler and as someone who brings in groups for workshops in the wondrous environs of Puerto Viejo. Kaya's just gets better over time. The staff is ever-helpful, always friendly, responsive to the needs... whether it is for a clean towel or the recommendation of a van and driver... More

My girlfriends and I stayed here for 3 nights. We absolutely loved the location and the artwork. We had a problem with our shower ( which was actually our own fault for not turning it to "hot" ) but the owner quickly checked it out and had it fixed. The rooms were clean and soap and towels are provided. The... More

I stayed in Kaya's place for two months. I chose the cheapest room with shared bathroom, while the hotel has much more luxurious room if you are looking into that. My room was clean everyday with detergent (I saw it happen anytime I stayed late) while my sheets were changed and my towel was folded into a little animal (I... More

Mattresses and pillows are dirty, damp and stinky. We had to put an extra sheet over the bed, and a towel over the pillow so we could try to keep the smell down. The bathroom has black mold. The back of the fan was filthy. The rooms are dark, dirty, damp ,musty, and gloomy. The hammock stunk.

Dear Dina, When you brought your complaints to my attention while checking out I was very surprised. You and your friends looked like you were having a great time during your stay with us. I personally inspected your room after your departure and I have to say that you are right. We had three separate issues working against us resulting... More

I have stayed in many other establishments on my trip and this is easily one of the best. Great staff and friendly owner. The bar area is great for socializing. Location is perfect and the building and rooms are extremely spacious. I would stay here again if I ever return to Puerto Viejo.

I was shareing with one other as part of a tour (so can't comment on the value, as I didn't pay). The room contained a bunk bed with double size beds and a... More

I stayed at Kaya's Place for three nights on a tour with gAdventures. The location is brilliant, right across from Playa Negro, a beautiful beach. The hotel itself is has a nice Caribbean flair, but is very rustic and quite basic. I was luckiest of all our group, as I got a two bedroom bungalow by myself. But it was... More

It would be a very nice place if the manageent cared a bit more about the guests. For a random reason there were at least 5 people staying at the same time I was that presumed (as myself) that any type of shared kitchen would be available.

Dear Maria, I am so sorry that you felt that my reply to you in regards to providing you with a shared kitchen was rude. The somebody that came to talk to the owner about the wrong information provided online was indeed you, though my recollection of the conversation is slightly different than yours.
