“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

We stayed in the blue house recently. What a great experience. We were only a two-minute walk to the beach down a little path, and everyday we saw monkeys, sloths, and beautiful birds around our cabin. The cabins are equipped with a fridge, range, toaster oven, and coffee maker. They are clean and well-decorated. We were definitely allowed to talk and laugh, and did a lot of both, but, yeah, it is not a place to go if you are looking to get rowdy or be involved in some kind of "scene." You are better off picking a place in the town of Puerto Viejo. Most days we found ourselves picking up food and beer/wine at a little supermarket nearby, and hanging out on the beach or going on a trip (we took the bus to the Sloth Sanctuary north of Cahuita - totally worth it). We rented bikes and went into Puerto Viejo a few times and down to Manzanillo. The kitchen is no longer open at the time of our trip, but they are looking for someone to take it over. Also, Ingrid is very helpful. We had a mix-up with our flight, and she was very gracious when I woke her up at 6am to get the number for a taxi company! Thank you, Ingrid!! In sum, it was a great experience and I would go back to Aguas Claras any time.

“If you are young and want to have FUN... this is NOT the place for you!!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2011

Puerto Viejo, Cocles, Playa Chiquita, Punta Uva and Manzanillo are the BEST beaches in Costa Rica and every chance I have for a vacation time, I try to spend it in the Caribbean Coast. This time my friends and I plan a trip to Limon and we stayed at "Aguas Claras" the place is nice, spacious and fully equipped but if you are young and vibrant and like to have FUN... This is NOT the place to do it... Is like going to your childhood again... you have to be in bed by 10pm!!!! You can't put music, you can't talk, you can't laugh because if you do so... they will kill the power in the house leaving you with no lights in the middle of the jungle... and in the next morning before you can enjoy your morning coffee they will reprimand you for your bad behavior... So if you want to have fun with your friends at the beach, I recommend you "Casa Camarona" "The Toten Hotel" or ANY other place EXCEPT this one... The WORST experience EVER!!!!!
