Escape Caribeno is a beautiful place a short walk from the main town of Puerto Viejo, the grounds are beautiful and lead down to the beach. Gloria is the woman in charge, she was very nice and helpful. She genuinely cared about the safety of myself and the other guests, however she did scare me a little! It took me... More

I was in Costa Rica on an R&R out of Iraq and just needed some down time and found that at Escape Caribeno. I made great use of the hammock on the front veranda of my room and it was a short walk across the road to get to the beach. Ms. Gloria was a very gracious hostess and she... More

the rooms are all located in little houses. You have your own terrace with a hammac! The AC is included and the bugnets are allready in place! The rooms are clean and have a refrigerator. While you take your breakfast, you can watch the birds eating their breakfast... A little bit out of the town, 10 min walking away. 3... More

Great location. We booked an ocean side room but when we arrived it was a garden view. Not a major issue except we were located next to the road and it was VERY loud. I would highly recommend getting one of the cabin fartherest from the road. I found the mattress to be very uncomfortable and there was no hot... More

I stayed at Escape Caribeno for four nights in November, 2010 in an oceanside room. The rooms are clean and simple, with a mini-fridge, A/C, mosquito nets and a hammock on the front porch. The oceanside rooms have a great view and are quite comfortable. There is so much to do around town and on the beach that the small... More

As we stayed here on a group tour (only 12 of us) we can't comment on the value, but the cabins with the veranda, hammocks and chairs were very pleasant and breakfast good. The fridge is useful if a little noisy. We stayed on the garden side, but the walk to the beach was just across the road. There is... More

When did Costa Rica get so expensive? or is the dollar just that worthless. sigh. Anyway, this place is adequate but for the price, it's advisable to be on the beach side...yes, it's under $100 but just barely. The fridge was either in the bathroom or as a nightstand and yes nice to have but does it have to be... More

Our trip to the east coast of Costa Rica was our main reason for traveling this summer. We wanted to scuba dive and see what the caribean side had to offer, because there is very little information about that area on line. We were very lucky to find Escape Caribeno which is run by an Italian couple. It is a... More

I stayed here four years ago and returned because of the location -- close to everything including the seashore -- and memories of relaxing in the hammock. Each room has a small patio, and Escape Caribeno is noteworthy because of the fridge in each room, stocked with a variety of drinks, including Imperial and Pilsen beers ($2/each). I sprung for... More
