Guest Houses in Cahuita

Lovely host, Alberto - and his amazing team. Great breakfast. Great advice. Quiet setting out of town

Cahuita Inn is an oasis on the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Exceptional value for money, standing out head and shoulders above anything else we found in Costa Rica in this mid range price bracket. Contemporary comfort, style, security, wonderful service, delicious food, calm atmosphere, beautiful hammock strewn palm grove right on the ocean, with waves rolling in on your doorstep. It was stunning and so relaxing. If you are lucky enough to find a room, just book it! We did and extended our stay twice. Thank you so much Giuseppe, Elisa and your loyal, excellent staff team.

Great location. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Relaxed atmosphere

It was absolutely perfect! Many thanks for their warm welcome and kindness. I can only recommend this place – it’s superbly located, spotlessly clean and well-equipped. 😊

Fantastic relaxed option between Puerto Viejo and Cahuita. Great to meet other travellers also.

Vladimir was a wonderful host, the position was amazing and the room very comfortable. There were two fans in the room so we had no problem with the hot weather.

Gonzalo is a really nice host who makes the best breakfast and always gives good tips on how to get around the area and what to do there. The Hostel is really nice in the middle of the jungle which makes staying there already half the experience.

We really enjoyed our stay a lot. We had a beautiful little house near the river, with a hot shower and a comfortable bed, also an extra living room and a little kitchen. Could see monkeys and sloths, agutis and a lot of other different wildlife from our terrace. Free water, laundry and kayaks. Everything was really clean and only 5 min walk to the beach. Helped us with everything we needed. A tuktuk to puerto viejo takes about 10 mins. Everyone was really friendly we would def come again.

I really liked that it was close to everything also the owners were really nice.

What a gem of a place. Cute family cottage (2 separate rooms, a double bed in one and a bunk in the other - single upper and double bed lower). There are numerous sloths in the garden, often active and often at quite low level. Having been on numerous hikes previously on our Costa Rica holiday to see sloths that ended up being just grey fuzzballs high up in a tree that needed a guide’s scope (and experienced eye) to spot, it was a delight to be able to see them just outside our door, usually at a height that didn’t strain the eyes and neck and also meant that a simple phone photo could capture with reasonable success. There was even a mother and baby - cuteness personified, which we were able to observe whilst enjoying the famous and delicious Brigitte’s Ranch breakfast. The beach is a spit away - strong currents, so be careful. It isn’t a huge beach and not very wide, but it is fine. And about 15 min walk to the north is Playa Grande which is empty and stretches for miles. The reggae bar is next door - we enjoyed the Caribbean vibes and enjoyed a couple of drinks there. It doesn’t come highly recommended for food, but there are many other good eateries within walking distance - La Playa was particularly good for coffee, ice creams and a snacky bite. And Puerto Viejo is a short drive away, which also has many restaurants and a more lively night culture than Cahuita. Brigitte offers various tours - eg night tour, chocolate tour, medicinal plants etc. But we had already done much of that stuff on our trip. We did go for the horse riding tour - the 3rd one we have done on our trip, and far and away the best. Her horses are clearly well cared for, great to ride, respond to the rider well, and the 2.5 hour hack through the jungle and cantering over the beach sands was simply magical - in spite of the incessant rain. Great for more experienced riders. If you are limited for time in Costa Rica, then you can get such a rich experience staying at Brigitte’s Ranch.
