Guest Reviews
- Adrien (10/5): Magnifique très agréable et reposant - Très propre personnel adorable et très accueillant et à l’écoute lit confortable cadre magnifique très reposant et des petits déjeuners très agréable et qui varie servis dans votre chambre.
Encore un grand merci à tout l’équipe ainsi que Lara je me suis sentis très bien ainsi que ma compagne si je retourne au Costa Rica garantie je re passerais par ce logement un vrais coup de cœur .
- MELANIA ELISA (10/5): - Our honeymoon stay was fantastic. We loved being in the heart of the jungle. A must stay in Puerto Viejo!
- Fiorella (10/5): Una escapada justa y necesaria en un lugar maravilloso - Me encantó la localidad, realmente recargué energía en ese lugar Solo la llave del baño estaba un poco dura pero hasta ahí
- Victor (10/5): - Un lugar muy privado, tranquilo y estéticamente hermoso! La Villa esta cerca de la playa, ubicada en un lugar dentro del bosque tropical donde se puede disfrutar la naturaleza. Laura es una persona muy amable, el desayuno fué muy rico y sabroso!
- Jakub (9/5): Great place to relax and connect to Mother Earth. - This place is amazing. Its a bungalow right in the middle of the jungle, close to the sea (6 min walk). You can hear all sounds of the jungle, unique experience. I wish them all the best to grow and build more since they offer just a couple of bungalows, they are really pretty and minimalistic. All was really great. Breakfast was served at your porch everyday. Highly recommended. It's one of the most beautiful parts of Puerto Viejo but you can't find a lot of restaurants near by. There are 2 good ones though. But you can enjoy the beach an nature without anyone disturbing you.
- Rocío (6/5): Bien - Como experiencia de dormir en medio de la selva estuvo muy buena, el sonido de los animales y la naturaleza.En si el lugar es minimalista y lindo estéticamente. No sabíamos que no tenía vidrios y que las paredes eran como de metal desplegado con agujeros, entraban bichos y había mucha humedad. No hay aire ac, tiene ventilador. La caja fuerte era pequeña llena de humedad y un poco precaria, no nos dio la seguridad que necesitábamos. El cuarto es más pequeño de lo que parece en la foto. La ducha es muy difícil de controlar la temperatura y de abrir.

- Matthias (10/5): Traumhaftes, privates Jungle-Hotel, unser Top-Favorit auf unserer Hochzeitsreise - Es war die schönste Unterkunft in unserer Costa Rica Rundreise und perfekt für Pärchen im Honeymoon. Der Jungle hält es auf natürliche weiße Kühl in der Hütte und beim Frühstück sieht man die Affen direkt vorbei hüpfen. Die Gastgeberin war super hilfsbereit und die ganze Zeit für uns verfügbar und das beste ist, es gibt nur 2 Hütten und ein Doppelzimmer, also ein super kleines Hotel mit extra viel Charme. Die Dusche war etwas schwer zu bedienen, und auch das Abwasser fließt nicht gut ab, aber es gab warmes Wasser und täglich neue Fußmatten und Handtücher
- Fabian (8/5): -
- Lena (10/5): - Trevligt personal, autentiskt miljö, god frukost, nära stranden. Djur och fågelkvitter i trädgården. Absolut rekommenderas
- Christine (9/5): Middle of the jungle - Schöne Unterkunft mitten im Jungel in der Nähe vom Strand. Geräusche von Affen etc inclusive (die Häuser haben statt Wänden Fliegengitter). Personal war super, sehr zuvorkommend.
- JOEL (10/5): -
- Filip (10/5): - The accommodation at Aire Boutique Hotel is designed so that you feel as if you’re sleeping right in nature. The hostess is very pleasant, and the accommodation blends beautifully with nature, featuring lovely architecture. Two bungalows side by side, excellent breakfasts served right on time as arranged. The pool is directly in the apartment, making it perfect for a refreshing dip on hot days. The hotel is peaceful and removed from the city’s hustle and bustle, ensuring privacy and tranquility. Additionally, it’s just a few minutes away from Big Beach, where you can make bonfires. The hostess also lent us a grill, allowing us to prepare a perfect dinner right on the beach, just minutes away from the accommodation.

- Rasmus (10/5): -
- Michael (10/5): Ein Muss für jeden der die Natur liebt aber auf Luxus nicht verzichten möchte. - Das Konzept aus Hotelzimmer ohne Türen und Fenster aber mit privatem Mini Pool mitten im Jungle. Ein Erlebnis! Und dann am Morgen noch das leckere Frühstück auf der Terrasse vor dem Pool. Einzigartig. Absolut nichts. Es war ein phantastisches Erlebnis mit allem Luxus den man sich nur vorstellen kann.
- Barbace (7/5): -
- Selma (8/5): -
- Iñaki (7/5): Lugar con mucho encanto en medio de la selva - Enclave idílico en mitad de la selva, a unos pocos metros de la playa.
Agustina es un encanto, siempre dispuesta a ayudar, y prepara un desayuno muy rico! Deberían poner una de malla más fina en las paredes (puertas que dan al exterior) para evitar que entren mosquitos o pequeños insectos. Tras la primera noche tuvimos que pedir una mosquitera para la cama ya que la primera noche nos comieron los mosquitos.
La piscina es muy bonita estéticamente, pero el agua está muy fría, lo que hace un reto bañarse incluso con calor. Además apenas hay intimidad ya que está frente a la otra suite y se escucha todo cuando se habla lo que rompe el silencio de un sitio tan idílico.
El hecho de que esté en mitad de la selva, aunque sea lo mejor que tiene, puede dar sensación de inseguridad por lo que estaría muy bien que hubiera alguien en recepción toda la noche.
- Eduarda (10/5): - O café da manhã é excelente! Augustina foi solícita e atenciosa conosco
- dominique (10/5): Lovely staff - Incredible experience sleeping very close to nature
Amazing breakfast brought to us Quite basic accommodation but clean and comfortable
- Maude (7/5): - Endroit absolument magnifique, en plein cœur de la jungle. Le design est moderne et l’environnement est unique. Les déjeuners étaient vraiment délicieux, un des grands points forts du séjour. Il faut savoir que les murs et le toit sont en grillage, ce qui rend l’endroit très humide. Le lit et les oreillers avaient une odeur d’humidité perceptible. Les insectes entrent assez facilement aussi. Bref, une expérience très nature… avec tous ce qui vient avec.
- Allan (10/5): Un Refugio para Desconectar y Relajarse - Desconexión de la Rutina
El lugar destaca por su capacidad para ofrecer un auténtico escape de la rutina diaria. Es ideal para quienes buscan apartarse del estrés cotidiano y reconectar consigo mismos en un entorno natural.
Conexión con la Naturaleza
Su diseño abierto permite que los sonidos propios del entorno, como la lluvia cayendo, el susurro de las hojas y los animales, se integren plenamente en la experiencia. Durante la noche, estos sonidos se perciben con mayor intensidad, creando un ambiente de relajación genuinamente natural que invita al descanso profundo. Este punto No es determinante porque el desayuno que sirven es delicioso (adjunto fotos) pero como oportunidad de mejora, les diría que incluyan un desayuno tradicional como el gallopinto, para mantener la esencia de Costa Rica.

- Sandy (1/5): - Hatten einen extrem langen Flug in der Info steht check in bis 0:00 Uhr. Die Nachricht von der Rezeption bekamen wir am check in Tag um 17:30 Uhr, dass die Rezeption bis 18 Uhr geschlossen hat. Wir hatten jedoch kein Internet während des Flugs und kamen um 23 Uhr an. Keinen mehr erreicht, somit keine Unterkunft und kein check in. Übernachtung im Auto. Geht gar nicht!
- Henrique (10/5): -
- Mervyn (10/5): - The staff were amazing. The design and layout of the entire hotel, plus the rooms, were very well thought of and detailed.
Breakfast was healthy, locally sourced, and handmade with love.
The location was a walking distance from the beach and a short drive into Puerto Viejo itself, so nights out didn't feel far.
- Jose Pablo (10/5): -
- Paula (10/5): Relax y encanto en la jungla - Nos encantó todo!!! El hotel es un sueño, con los interiores de microcemento y decorado al detalle. La suite no tiene paredes, sin embargo, nos ha parecido maravilloso dormir con los sonidos de la jungla. El jardín es una preciosidad y los desayunos deliciosos. Destacar la atención por parte de Lara que nos ha hecho sentir como en casa, es una súper anfitriona. Estoy segura que volveremos!! Que no nos pudiéramos quedar a vivir allí!!!!!
- deborah (10/5): A little oasis - A beautiful hidden away property at one with nature. No glass anywhere! The sound of the animals was just perfect. Only a short walk to a deserted beach. The plunge pool was an added bonus as was the hammock. The host is so accommodating and welcoming Nothing
- Seppe (10/5): Architecturaal pareltje midden in de jungle - Prachtig architecturaal pareltje in het midden van de Jungle. Het lekkerste ontbijt dat we hebben gegeten in CR. Er zijn mooie dieren en planten, wakker worden met het geluid van de brulapen in zo’n mooi verblijf is enorm rustgevend. Javi gaf ons goede tips voor de volgende bestemmingen. Het buitenbad is ook lekker verfrissend en op alle details zijn gelet. Prachtig! Alles is tot in de puntjes perfect!
- Vítězslav (10/5): Exceptional - This was our favorite accomodation on Our Costa Rica trip. Its a relaxing oasis where youre Just surrounded by jungle. The bungalow was beautiful and super clean, we Just loved hanging around in the hammock and enjoying the sounds from junge (howler monkeys can be quite loud at night but we found it super authentic and didnt mind at all). There are no walls but as Long as you dont keep the nets open you dont have to worry About bigger jungle visitors. Just beautiful. Also the breakfast was delicious and you can make coffee anytime. Thank you! 🤍
- Cristian (7/5): Good -
- Juliet (4/5): Disappointed - This venue calls itself a boutique hotel but is really just 2 precarious structures within a compound lacking a lot of amenities. We were courteously greeted and then left to our own devices and really did not feel safe as the walls were only a fragile metal mesh. The basic facilities did not warrant the cost.
- Andres (9/5): Superb -
- Diego (8/5): Very good -
- Carlos (9/5): Gorgeous stay in special location, design and service coming together - The design, style, comfort and location. The service and breakfast are great Somethings didn’t work but they solved it as possible. Should have had more protection against bugs in the windows.
- אברהם (10/5): Magical corner in the jungle, super pretty and amazing people - We came to celebrate my boyfriend birthday and it was the best choice we could take!
This place is super special- quiet, magical, boutique, green wherever you look! The decoration is so beautiful and the vibe in this place it was just what we wished for.
The girls are amazing! so lovely, welcoming and kind. Always with a smile!
They have really been there for anything we asked for, I felt that they are thinking of everything that can makes us feel good and comfort.
They totally think of all the small details.
Thank you so much for everything, I wish I will get the chance to come again.
You’re doing great! We loved everything!!!
- Marcia (7/5): Very humid and rainy but not the hosts fault. - Very simple but good vegan breakfast provided daily. In an isolated location but yet close to town. A nice beach is about a 400 meter walk on a quiet road. Not recommended for senior citizens or those with knee, back, or hip problems. The bed and minimalistic furniture was very low to the ground. For example, the mattress was elevated no more than 3 inches from the ground on concrete. We had monsoon rains when we were there and had no comfortable place to go and sit as there is just a bed in the room. There are no amenities with this rental but a nice breakfast.
- Nozha (8/5): Nice experience - The owner is very friendly and helpful, the breakfast she prepared is generous and really delicious. The lodge is in the middle of the jungle and you get the full authentic experience. The outside shower is great. The bathroom is nice and well equipped. The nest protecting the cabin walls should be a little more refined, as the holes are big enough to let some insects in. We wrongly assumed from the pictures the walls were in glass or some very small holes material.
- James (8/5): Chic, unique and memorable! - Beautiful, architect designed bungalow, with minimalist aesthetic. The bed was comfortable and plunge pool a welcome respite from the high humidity. We loved having the beautifully presented breakfast delivered to our terrace each morning. Breakfast was always nutritious, and delicious (but note this is a small establishment so breakfast comes as a surprise each day).
If you are looking for an immersive jungle type experience this is the place for you, expect insects , jungle sounds; we loved the early morning howler monkey alarm call!! Lara, the owner is pleasant and responsive to deal with, even returning one evening to deliver a lighter so we could light the mosquito coils that were provided. Mosquitoes nets would be a good addition, we thankfully had our own which was necessary as there is no glass between you and the jungle so naturally there are lots of mosquitoes etc…
After spending over 5 weeks in Costa Rica on reflection we would also suggest improved security/locks on doors although we must stress we never felt unsafe during our stay.
- Monica (8/5): Felt immersed in nature, beautiful design and the host was super nice - It is beautiful, you feel one with nature I understand that they are growing their business, but there was construction going on just in front of the room, loud noises since 9am… but I’m sure once it’s finished, it’s going to be a sanctuary 🫶🏻
Just keep in mind that the pool is not a hot tub, it’s still water, not like in IG
- Alessandra (10/5): STUNNING ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT FOR A PERFECT STAY - Aire is a magic place in nature, is an amazing architectural project where details are not comune. I love the minimal and accurate style of Aire and We can see all that did Lara for have a special place. I will come back for sure. Alessandra
- Wójcik (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mai (10/5): Wonderful place - Everything was perfect! This place is amazing if you’re looking for peace and being in the nature! The beach is near by :) All was perfect!
- Carola (10/5): One of the most peaceful places I have ever been! I really enjoyed it! - Very peaceful and special place surrounded by nature and close to the beach. I really liked the design of the suite, it's bright, cosy and you can open the doors and will have great views into the jungle. It also comes with a great outdoor shower and a small private pool. Every detail is made with love. The owner is super friendly and prepared a delicious breakfast. I felt very welcome! I can recommend this place to everyone seeking a special accommodation in order to escape the busy town. There's nothing I would change :)
- Alexandra (10/5): AIRE was absolute perfection - AIRE was absolute perfection. Surrounded by nature, it offered total peace. From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced by the serene surroundings. The accommodation was comfortable and beautifully designed. I loved immersing myself in nature, whether it was taking walks or simply relaxing on the pool. The hosts were incredibly hospitable. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a peaceful getaway in nature.
- Zach (10/5): Fantastic hotel design. Great location near beach. Very welcoming staff, super helpful owners. - The beach is about 200 meter walk. The owners are great communicating with you as you arrive, helping you get situated and answer questions. Quiet laid back part of town. Lovely breakfasts and the hotel itself is beautiful. The owners were super kind and really went above and beyond for us. You can tell they want you to have a great experience in the space. Will stay here again next time we are in the PV area for sure.
