Hotel Puerto Viejo

The staff were very friendly and it's very centrally located. but this was the scariest hostel I've ever been to. And way too expensive. (Hello Costa Rica) 1: my food was stolen from the fridge (was labeled with my name). I also heard from some other people that something was stolen from them. 2: my bed was so dirty and it smelled like mold. And generally very smelly. I got an eye infection on the first night. And I'm not normally sensitive. 3: My room was very small. My rucksack didn't fit under the bed and it didn't fit in the locker anyway. There were 2 bunk beds and only 1 ladder. You always had to move them around. I fell off the ladder in the morning. Others didn't want to sleep on the bed upstairs because the ladder wasn't very stable

Perfect location, open windows in the night so very noisy and full of mosquitos

I thought that the environment was fun, there was usually good music playing in the common area & the common area itself is spacious and entertaining. However, this place needs to renovate its rooms if it’s going to be charging more than $50 a night. The room we stayed in had two small twin beds with a very thin mattress, the floor looked very old and run down, there was dust everywhere, the fan in our room broke down twice... (this was disappointing because when I asked for a replacement receptionist’s answer is that there were no more so she gave me a very small refund). Other disappointing things: only two bathrooms for the entire facility which was crazy because there are so many people there during spring break. The rooms are also very very small (don’t be fooled by the pictures on booking) and there are also no trash cans in the rooms.

Nothing close to the pictures. Staff is nice, but the place is falling apart. Would not recommend
