Guest Reviews

• Kenneth (10/5): - Very chill and laid back
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Horrible stay. This place is severely overpriced. Out of the 4 places I stayed at in this area, this was the most expensive and the worst stay. No hot water, 1 towel, it was cold (luckily I had a sweater with me which I slept in) and I got woken up at 5 am by monkeys. I should have stayed at my previous hotel another night
• Kristine (10/5): Topp opplevelse - Utrolig vakkert, bra service og veiledning til valg av opplevelsesturer :)
• Theodore (10/5): - Lovely place to stay. Comfortable and stylish. Beautiful garden too. Well located for all the local attractions.
• Pablo (10/5): Un lugar sencillo para descansar - El personal muy amable y atento, un lugar tranquilo, rodeado de naturaleza. Tuvimos la oportunidad de mirar un perezoso en su habitad, así como otros animales silvestres.
• Kimberly (10/5): - The bungalows are so charming and spread out. Breakfast options were nice. Beach is right across the street. Indian restaurant is tasty with vegetarian options. The only note is there is no air and it is hot and rather humid. For me from Florida it was fine and pleasant with ceiling fans but if you like it cold be aware.
• Jenny (8/5): Muy buena opción - La ubicación excepcional, la propiedad muy linda y bien cuidada, estacionamiento seguro, la habitación muy agradable y cómoda, el restaurante muy rico (recomiendo contratar los desayunos) y el personal muy atento. Lo único que les hace falta son accesorios para colgar ropa y productos de higiene personal. Pero volveremos a quedarnos aquí con toda seguridad!
• Ted (10/5): - muy caribeño y muy limpio
• Jeremy (2/5): Bait and switch, false advertising, No hot water - We had two nights booked for a bungalow and we knew going in that it would be more rustic lodging than other destinations, since Puerto Viejo is a more laid-back vibe. However, our bungalow was nothing like the pictures, so do not expect your bungalow to look anything like the pictures. When we went to take showers the first night, the hot water did not work. So I went to the front desk and asked for someone to help. The young lady at the desk said that he would stop by in 5 minutes. When 45 minutes went by and it started to get later, I stopped by and told them that he still had not come, she went in the back and said loudly that I was crying about not having hot water. First of all, I did not cry so I do not appreciate her snarky attitude. Secondly, hot water is not a big request when you are paying $130 a night for a bungalow. Her comment was unprofessional and unnecessary. The following day, friendly workers tried to fix the water all day but it was clear to use that this was an existing problem that was not able to be repaired. They had no other bungalows available, so we packed up our things and left early for the next leg of our trip. When we asked to refund the second night, we were told it was not possible.
• PABLO (10/5): super hotel - Gran lugar es estar dentro de una montaña super bien la naturaleza a la mano
• Paul (10/5): Loved it!!! - Great stay with close walking distance to beach, just across the street! Would love to stay here again!
• Paolo (10/5): Es mi segunda vez! Lo recomiendo - Buen servicio, el dueño incluso es muy amable. La habitación es cómoda y espaciosa. El parqueo está dentro de la propiedad y es seguro. La playa está sumamente cerca pues en esta área difícilmente un hotel tiene salida directa al mar. Frente al hotel hay un bar de playa muy bonito por donde puedes cruzar directo al mar y tomar algo. En el hotel te ofrecen paños extra y sillas para la playa.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Not the best in Cocles - The bungalows needs improvements, no TV, no amenities, some parts of the roofs are falling down, the beds are so unconfortable and the pillows had a bad smell (like humid), I don't think we will go back there.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Recommend - Wonderful jungle location in a quiet part of town. Very clean and cared for. Easy accessible to go into town by bicycle or quick taxi ride. Many food options in town and near hotel. Beach was red flag but beautiful
• Esteban (8/5): - The Location security and parking are very convenient
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff was unbelievable!!!!!! Marva, Javier, the young lady behind the desk! They bend over backwards like no other resort I’ve stayed at!!!!!
• Bobby (10/5): - Mycket trevlig personal. Mysigt ställe i djungelmiljö Passar barnfamiljer trots avsaknad av pool. Stranden är bara 50 m bort
• Jorge (10/5): Unique bungalows in the South Caribbean! - Upon arrival I was greeted by Minerva at the front desk who was extremely welcoming. After letting us know all the important information about the premises and their services we were treated to a wonderful welcome cocktail. Breakfast was included and was terrific! The coffee was great as well. This is my second time staying at La Costa de Papito and I will definitely be back! Keep it up!
• Juan (10/5): - Muy bien. Personal muy atento!
• Verified traveler (4/5): - seemed like a place that was nice several years ago but they have let it go over the years. mold growing over all the cabins and they have alot of standing water bringing in so many mosquitoes that we couldn't enjoy the patio. the cabin roof also had leaks and dirty floor. their restaurant was also a joke! $15 for an elaborate chicken breast by itself with no sides... but even if i wanted it they were out of it and many other menu items. theres a reason no one came to dinner despite the local restaurants being pretty crowded. the owner also charged me twice $130 for the night but did refund me after numerous annoying emails. about the only good thing i can say about it was the night receptionist was very friendly and helpful with activities. but do yourself a favor and avoid this place that would be better suited as a $25/night hostel and go to Le Chameleon. same price but a 100x better.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - We stayed in a nice bungalow on the property during the off season. One of the best beaches is located 5 minutes walk from it. The staff is very nice and the rooms are well equipped with the essentials. The breakfast was just ok.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - welcoming staff. Beautiful grounds. Close to the beach.
• Joakim (8/5): Nice but with concerns - Nice place more in jungle than on beach. Toilet did not flush properly and it rained in making the paper and my toilet stuff wet. Breakfast not so good. Wifi in room but was bad connection.
• Jaap (10/5): Net hotel dichtbij het strand - We hadden de vierpersoonskamer naast het hoofdgebouw. Erg ruim en netjes met eigen terras met hangmat. 's Avonds na 9u bijna geen geluid meer van het hoofdgebouw. Restaurant heeft wat weinig keuze maar er is genoeg in de omgeving.
• Judy (10/5): - Loved the ambiance of the hotel and the area. Staff was so very helpful in advising how to get around. Wonderful tropical experience
• Silvia (8/5): Hotel bonito, original, cerca de la playa - El hotel es original, mucha madera, vegetación. La playa está en frente pero es peligrosa para nadar. Faltaria TV y cristales en las ventanas. Experiencia agradable
• The Magician. (8/5): Not the typical place...in a good way, or sort of. - South Caribbean landscape is not as developed as the Pacific , thus, you need to be open and flexible about what the hotel can offer. I don't recommend going with kids as there is no much to do with them. Other than that, if you want to be in a quiet place (except at night when the hauling monkeys start singing ) this is a place worth trying.
• Norberto (10/5): Excelente ubicación - Gente muy cordial y acogedora
• Frida (6/5): Besvikelse - fint utseendemässigt men inget hjärta - - Maten på frukosten tog slut varje dag. Vi tvingades säga till om 3-5 saker som var slut varenda frukost. Var det inte frukten så var det kopparna, gafflarna, tevattnet eller pannkakorna. När vi påpekade för personalen att saker var slut suckade de och gick runt och kontrollerade så det verkligen var slut. Vi kände oss som en stor belastning varenda frukost. Riktigt tråkigt och frukosten blev en jobbig grej efter några dagar! Hur svårt kan det vara att se till att saker är påfyllt? Det värsta var dock bemötandet när vi påpekade. - Vi åt en middag på hotellet. Svindyrt jämfört med alla närliggande restauranger. Och sämsta maten vi ätit under resan. - När det regnade mycket blev gången till vår bungalow översvämmad så vi tvingades vada i mer än knähögt brunt vatten när vi skulle ta oss till och från bungalowen. Inte så trevligt. - En del av personalen i receptionen var inte speciellt hjälpsam eller trevlig. En gång, när ägaren kom gående, la hon dock på ett väldigt trevligt bemötande. Det försvann när ägaren lämnade. + Jättefina bungalows med bra tanke och fin inredning + Fin matsal i samma tema som bungalowen + Gratis flaskvatten varje dag uppskattades väldigt mycket + Gratis utlåning av strandhandduk och strandstolar var ett stort plus + God och bra frukost (när det fanns något på faten) + Fint hotellområde med fin växtlighet. Det var som att bo i djungeln! + Hotellet ligger vid den bästa stranden i Puerto Viejo. + Gratis biljard på hotellet
• Jip (8/5): Bijzondere plek. - Vriendelijk ontvangen door de receptioniste. Op het terrein staan allerlei huisje. Wij hadden een huisje met grote veranda met hangmat. Het huisje heeft ramen maar zonder glas. Alleen luiken om dicht te doen. Bijzonder om smorgens door het licht en jungle geluiden wakker gemaakt te worden. De badkamer is bijzonder ingericht als of je in een grot zit. Geen zwembad, maar het strand is aan de overkant van de weg. Restaurant met bar bieden voldoende versnaperingen. In de tuin vliegen allerlei mooie vogels en klimmen eekhoorns in de bomen. Algemene indruk is goed, lekker vertoeven, maar niet super luxe.
• Raul (8/5): Nice hotek, good location, basic amenities - The hotel is nice, and clean. It’s location is the best thing because is close to cocles beach, close 75 m walk. Also you can walk to puerto viejo in 25 mins . 2.5 kms The room is ok but very basic, so no AC and no TV, which is ok for a disconnected vacations but if you’re expecting them won’t be a nice surprise. The AC was not needed (or the tv) because the 3 ceiling fans can keep a fresh environment easily. And at night the temperature goes down. The breakfast is ok, overall a good place to stay given the know limitations.
• patricia (10/5): Grandma and gramps take all to Costa Rica - Our stay at Costa de Papito was wonderful. We were a group of 12 traveling with 6 adults and 6 kids. We rented 4 bungalows and the sleeping accommodations worked out great with at least 2 beds in each, one with 3 beds. Gramps and I appreciated there was always a pit of hot coffee in the lobby and kids loved the variety of fresh juices and the staff willingness to serve the juices up with Spears of fresh fruit and umbrellas. We were not thrilled with all the traffic in Puerto Viejo and the lack of parking (and we were driving a huge van) so we ate many of our meals at the hotel. The food was always fresh, homemade and delicious with a different special each day. The staff remembered your names and always greeted us with a smile. They kept tables pushed together so we always had “our” table for 12 when we showed up. The beach is a very short walk away and was great for those surfing. We had small kids and while they loved the big waves we kept Hem in life jackets and always holding onto an adult, there is a very strong current, not the best for small kids but again they thought it was great. Gramps and I enjoyed the hammock and Adirondack chairs on the porch of our cabin where we enjoyed watching hummingbirds, toucans, some kind of wild cat like animal and some pig like animal. Very enjoyable stay.
• Ana Lorena (8/5): Agradable - En términos generales muy bién, sobre todo por el personal que fue muy atento.
• Wally (4/5): Hot Cabin, No AC,Fridge, chairs or cabinets - There were no chairs,closets or cabinets to put away our belongings. No air-conditioner for use during the a very hot season, No fridge to store and keep drinks cool. Room was extremely hot during day and could not enter but briefly during daylight hours.stayed one sleepless hot night and left early in A.M. I have stayed at other hotels in area and this experience was very disappointing,The beach is across the street but indoor cover with cool air and cold drinks is also essential. Would not recommend. Beware the shower faucets are not labeled properly
• Yeon sup (8/5): 가족과 함께 해변 근처에서 조용한 시간을 보내고 싶은 분들께 추천합니다. - 나무에 둘러쌓인 야생동물이 지나다니는 캐빈은 매우 마음에 들었습니다. 직원들도 친절합니다. 다만 방 상태가 청결하지는 않았습니다. 세 개의 침대 중 한 매트리스와 이불에서는 오줌냄새가 너무 심하게 나서 사용할 수 없었습니다. 자전거 대여는 한대당 7달러입니다. 인터넷 상의 호텔 안내 페이지에서도, 체크인 할때도, 자전거를 빌릴때도 대여비에대해서는 언급이 없었지만 체크아웃할 때 자전거 대여비로 21달러를 청구했습니다. 저는 영어와 스페인어를 모두 할 수 있기때문에 의사소통의 문제라고 생각하지 않습니다. 좋은 호텔이지만 보다 청결한 관리와 추가 비용에 대한 사전 고지가 필요하다고 생각합니다. 가치 대비 너무 비싼 가격이라고 생각합니다. 가족과 함께 해변 근처에서 조용한 시간을 보내고 싶은 분들께 추천합니다. 꼬끌레스 해변이 바로 길건너에 있습니다.
• Jeffrey (6/5): - M. Netting around the no air conditioner room. Very run down and disappointing room. Coal snake wrapped around top outside screen over bed, no amenities and grossly overpriced.
• Kenny (4/5): Primitive Hotel - To be fair, I booked this hotel because it was my family's first trip to Costa Rica and the Caribbean coast. And my wife, wanted to stay at the same hotel that the family booked. (By the way, my wife and I live in Costa Rica.) So when I booked the property I did not check for amenities such as air conditioning, and swimming pool. of, which, there were none! We were booked for 3 nights, but only stayed one night and moved to a different property that had both air conditioning and a swimming pool. There was very little security at the property and of course since there was no air conditioning the windows, had to stay open and some of the windows did not have screens. There was a small safe, but no place to keep and protect our computers. At night, we had to use the mosquito netting and that further restricted air flow. So we woke up wet and clammy.
• Mike (8/5): Great experience - We have always travelled in all inclusive resort, Costa Rica was our first non-inclusive experience. At the la Costa de Papito, we had a great experience with the nature, despite no ac. The breakfast was included, the food was comparable to cuba or mexico. The hotel is clean and the bungalow was very cool. Will return eventually.
• Esmeralda (8/5): Sleeping in the jungle - We were welcomed by friendly staff and a refreshing complimentary glass of juice. We stayed in bungalow 1 and it was a great space for our family. I was taken aback by how rustic the bungalow was. Not all the windows have screens and there are cracks in the walls. It's a beautiful bungalow, just be aware that it is not sealed. I include this, because I was a little weary of spiders and other bugs. The beds are comfortable enough and have mosquito netting. The shower and bath were also comfortable and clean. The breakfast is delicious and coffee is available 24/7 for free. Beach is just across the road. Towels, beach chairs and umbrella area available to borrow from hotel. You are really in the middle of the jungle when holler monkeys wake you up.
• Tico (10/5): Beautiful Caribbean Hotel - Excellent Hotel, Close to the beach. Great Caribbean food, Amazing Staff.
• javi (10/5): Muy bien comunicado con un montón de información - Un sitio muy agradable las camas un poco duras pero eso va sobre gustos, muy cerca de puerto viejo y de las mejores playas, seguridad por las noches
• Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect location - Cozy bungalows, as close to the beach as you can get, great restaurant in the hotel lodge, very close to Tasty Waves and Caribbeans--two must-visit places! 2km easy walk to center of Puerto Viejo. We stayed an extra night b/c we loved it here!
• Francene (10/5): Two nights here in a bungalow - We stayed in a very nice bungalow with wonderful porch/terrace to enjoy the sounds of, and was very private. The dining room was very big, and beautiful wood. We had hoped for entertainment shown on webpage, but not available. The staff was very helpful and friendly, except for the unfriendly, bad attitude man at front desk; this is a key position & needs a caring, helpful person to fulfill customer needs. The owner was a very gracious man, and we so appreciated his caring for our comforts.
