This is a fantastic option if you want to visit Puerto Viejo in Limon. Is close to the town but at the same time you feel is very private and peaceful, you really get personalized service from the host which is a very nice and caring lady really looking for your satisfaction.

We booked this hotel based on the Trip Advisor’s reviews and were disappointed that a new owner bought the place. The new owner did not provide great customer service as the previous owners. She introduces us to a list of rules that no one wants to deal with when you are on vacation. Do not get me wrong, she is... more

My wife and I visited Mandala for a week in July. What a fantastic place, where to start? First off, Sammy and Stephanie were superb hosts, they attended to all of our needs while respecting our privacy. The apartment was just outside of town, we could walk there within 5 minutes, but at night we felt that we were in... more

This hotel is incredible! The gracious hosts brought my fruit salad with hibiscus flowers and a candle for my birthday breakfast. Then I got to sit in the jaccuzi with the waterfall flowing into the pool while watching the jungle. Could this place be any more gorgeous or any more relaxing? I felt welcome and comfortable! I can't say enough... more

Lodging was quiet, beautiful, extremely clean, and a beautiful refuge. A quick walk to Puerto Viejo and you have all the food and nightlife you need. Food... more

The Mandala came as a pleasant surprise given that they had accommodated me without reservations upon arrival at Puerto Viejo. Superb hospitality in a small family run and owned hotel is at the top of my priorities in reviewing this place. The swimming pool was such a bonus when it rained the proverbial rain forest rain and one couldn't go... more

We had a wonderful time at this quaint little hotel. The rooms were incredibly clean and well decorated. Having a kitchen option was wonderful. It was great to be not right in the center of town, but within easy walking distance of both town and a really nice beach was only about 200m from the hotel. I really liked the... more
