We REALLY enjoyed everything about our stay. Everything about the place was just as we had hoped for. We stayed in the Dolphin Room in the western corner of the second floor. The wooden-floored and wooden-walled room is spacious, with french doors that open to a wrap-around balcony (complete with table, hammock, and adirondack chair). Before arriving, I was concerned... more

Looking for a great get away? Try the Banana Azul. The staff will take good care of you, while the excellent cooking will spoil you. Need a cold drink, then Franklin is your man.

Puerto Viejo is close enough to make getting to town easy, and far enough to feel the privacy and serenity of Banana Azul. We split our meals... more

Initially we stayed for 4 nights, but ended up returning for a further 6 nights and days, due to ll of the above reasons and more. There is... more

My husband and I went to CR from Aug 30-Sept 9, 2009 and we stayed at Banana Azul the entire time except for our last night (we had an early flight so we stayed at casa 69 in San Jose).
