“Hospitality let down”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

My girlfriend and I stayed here in what was a nice, quieter location in puerto. The rooms were cleaned each day, and most of the staff were pleasant. However, throughout our stay the owner was grumpy and moody, creating an awkward atmosphere. On our last day our bus to san jose departed puerto at 4pm and we had to had to vacate the room at 11. When we got back from a swim we found out the owner had instructed staff not to allow us to use the kitchen or any of the other facilities available to guests. In no other place have i ever come across this, and this was despite staying for 4 nights and paying $55/night. Aside from this, the rooms were unable to keep out the mosquito's and we ended up bitten all over after each night. Did not live up to the reviews.

“Way overpriced”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2012

45USD for a single room, no TV, and 65USD for a twin cabin, both without air-con nor a fridge. I even had to ask for a towel, but there was no complimentary soap. Nickles and dimes place, for that price you're much better off somewhere else in town.

Beautiful gardens, excellent staff, rooms are all different so ask to see all available before choosing,(check out #6and7), exceptional value. Common kitchen is nice to have!
Vera the owner is a hoot!

Room Tip: Every room is different so have a look at several if available.

“Little paradise with great hospitality!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights (we are leaving tomorrow) and we had the best time ever! It is a beautiful and relaxed place with nice rooms and great hospitality. They clean the room every day and they have laundry service. We also liked the jungle garden and the hammats in front of the door. We recomment this place to everyone who wants to enjoy a stay in puerto viejo!

“Lovely chilled out place to stay with a delightful owner with great tips for whatever you want to do in the area.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011 via mobile

Really enjoyed my stay here and it was the best value accomodation and the nicest in my 4 week trip. Vera, the quirky owner, is a lovely lady who was really helpful in advising lots of things (good restaurants, best beaches, best place to hire a bike etc). It is a really nice setting with a garden and chairs & hammocks scattered about the place & a stone's throw from the centre of town. Free wifi is good (enabling me to write this from my iPhone in my room). Would definitely recommend this place.
