It is right in Puerto Viejo town, so you can walk everywhere (restaurants, convenience stores, pharmacy, bank, etc) or rent bikes to ride to the nicer beaches like Playa Chiquita and Punta Uva. The rooms are basic, comfortable and clean. The beds are comfortable as... more

My girlfriend and I stayed at this place in April 09 and we lacked water for three whole days. We only got water in spurs and we had to be alert when there was any in order for us to get our basic needs out of the way. They say it's a government but any entrepeneur must confront this and... more

Since 05 March this year, make a reservation at this hotel in order to ensure a quiet vacation with my husband, first call the hotel and ask for prices of services, so it seemed a good choice in that when directed to the secretary please make me a reservation for the first weekend of April, the woman told me that... more
