“Very nice place!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Rustic, but also had some things that I wanted like a pool, bar, tv, and air conditioning. Our bungalow was very spacious, the air condioner worked great. The breakfast was awesome and you can buy meals at the restaurant also, as well as bottled water, pop, etc... Someone said that if you don't like creepy crawlies this isen't the place for you, well they were right! We had almost every bug imaginable in our bungalow, even the dreaded cockroach, (a big one) ! I'm not a fan of bugs much, but I kind of expected it being in Costa Rica, lol! Our screen in the bathroom that keeps things out had alot of gaps in it, but it didnt seem to bother me much being out in the jungle. We saw so many beautiful butterflies, and birds at the Cariblue it was great. They have bikes available to rent which we took full advantage of! We went to the rainforest, with Florentino (he is great), and we ate at some incredible places. Tasty Waves and their LTD fries, Pita Bonita, had the best mint, lemonaide ever, and this place we discovered just by looking for the right atmosphere called De Pajo resto-bar, it had a little bar up front by the road, but when you walk back, its right on the beach, so nice and we were lucky enough to have monkeys in the tree right above us. This was our favorite place, they had the best chicken taco's and 2 for 1 happy hour drinks, banana, pinapple daquari's to die for!! It was right before this bakery if you were coming from Cocles beach, so of course we had to stop at the bakery after we ate here a couple times for dessert and coffee! Puerto viejo is like another world, one that I'm glad that I had the opportunity to visit! Pura Vida!

“Beautiful Jungle and Beach Experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

My wife and another couple stayed 2 nights at the Cariblue Hotel and enjoyed our experience. Getting reservations was extremely difficult and it took 20 phone calls which most were not answered and 4 e-mails to secure the rooms. In our original room, the safe and internet did not work. We moved to room #1 and it was perfect. It was wonderful sitting on the porch and watching it rain in the jungle and listening to the waves. I would have rated the hotel much higher if getting reservations was easier and that the safe and internet were working. The pool in very nice and the beach was perfect for surfing. Another negative was that there was construction going on and it was noisy from 7:30am to 7pm

Room Tip: Room #1 was great. Check out the rooms before you move in. Some are nicer than others and some can b...

“Excellent Choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 December 2011

people found this review helpful

We were looking for another place because our first choice was a disaster and we are very happy we found the Cariblue hotel. We spend 2 nights there and all was fine with an excellent sevice. The hotel has a nice pool with a bar inside the pool, a nice garden and the personal is doing all to show you little frogs. We saw three species of them and a lot of birds. The room was spacious with a king bed and a nice flatscreen tv. They have a good restaurant and they pay very good attention to their guests.
