The service including breakfast is excellent; breakfast is freshly prepared and you can choose from several options; the hotel is within a well maintained garden ...and birds e.g. Tucan are visiting the flowers continuously; 3 minutes walk to the beach front (you have to cross the main road only); the stuff is very courteous, helpful and friendly

The hotel was beautiful, breakfast was outside (under a covered area in case it rains ;), and the staff was so kind and ready to help if needed! When we arrived we went straight to check in and the first thing we received was a fresh coconut, which was very nice especially after the long drive we had that morning. There were two options for breakfast, american or costa rican breakfast and they were at the moment of ordering, which made it extra good. You have to walk 5-10 minutes to get to the stores/restaurants of the town but that's fine, if you get tired there are always a lot of little "taxis" driving around who will bring you back.

We stayed in the Casita reina (the small house on the property). Everything was wonderful. The house is perfect for a couple. You got everything you need for cooking. Bed is comfortable. Missing a few hang hooks for the towel but otherwise all very comfortable. The pool is super nice. Kim, the host, is very accommodating and you ll received a warm welcome From her and her dogs. The house is about 10 minutes walk from the beach and a grocery store. 30 minutes walk from Puerto viejo so close enough to walk but far enough to enjoy a little peace and quiet if needed. Highly recommend:)

Everything about our 5 nights Exotico stay was top notch! Design, decor, seclusion, natural beauty, yet closenest to all, and then in this order: the staff, the entire front line team, the housekeepers (loved getting to know Raquel) the howler monkeys over our head, and the toucans, every day! The beach access to the most beautiful beach....The most delucious breakfast and meals! I wish we'd still be there! We enjoyed the easy access to Cocles beach, Manzanillo park, Puerto Viejo at night, a big WOW!

Look no further, book this place - we had the best stay! Firstly, it is the best location, short drive to Puerto Viejo but also walking distance of plenty of great restaurants and supermarkets nearby, you can even walk to the Jaguar Rescue. It feels like you're right in the jungle, the landscaping around the hotel is done so well, with the boardwalks through the trees, so all rooms feel really private and quiet and there is wildlife including sloths right amongst the trees in the hotel! Breakfast was great, and in the best spot looking right at the beach. The pools were lovely (we found three during our stay) and all the beach loungers etc. Staff were all really friendly and helpful and nice. DO NOT MISS the morning wildlife walk with the Jungle Man!! We saw eleven sloths in one hour as well as toucans, monkeys and much more! That guy is a legend.

What an amazing experience! We have done the two day raft in and raft out trip to Pacuare River Lodge and it really was one of the most memorable experiences you can get! The owners were friendly and all of their staff especially the guides were fantastic people, really professional and fun at the same time! Shout out to Moses! He was amazing! The whole trip delivered more than we could have hoped for! Nature at its best! Yes the accommodation is basic but it makes it a lot more rewarding as without wifi people actually talk to each other and engage with the environment! The wildlife that we got to see was also on another level!

The welcoming atmosphere Location was fantastic - you could hear the waves going to sleep and waking up. You were far enough from the road that you could not hear cars but close enough that you did not feel isolated. Save access to the beach which is locked at night The host is passionate about using local products and supporting local artists Hot shower with a jungle view with locally produced chocolate body wash / shampoo The place was spotless and professional There was a sloth crossing right above our dome We saw monkeys above us so close on both days Staying in the same domes that NASA use was cool

Loved the entire area. Easy to walk around town. Best tour was an all day visit to Bribri family and chocolate making. Guide Braullio was the best for the wildlife refuge. Tasty Waves was the best bar with great trivia on Thursday night. Favorite beach was Playa Punta Uva. Great restaurants also in the area. Best place to stay with family or if you do not like the party atmosphere of other parts of Puerto Viejo.

I absolutely loved Tortuguero and wish my spanish was better, however, it was easy to do everything with English--I was amazed at how well everyone spoke it! My favorite tour was the early morning canoe tour I booked with Green Tours. It was so peaceful and my guide, Brandon, was excellent! There are some really good restaurants/bars that are reasonably priced. Overall, it was a good time and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. I recommend booking a place to stay ahead of time, as well as the boat ride and return. Book tours once you get to the village. All the local companies are about the same price and a great value! I would 100% love to come back with friends or a partner someday. PURA VIDA!

This town was more quiet and while there were tourists it didn't feel over run with them. We were there at the end of the rainy season. Wish surfed. The hike in the park was well worth it, to blend town and nature. There is nothing fancy about the town but has a great vibe.

Only warm hearts and sincere smiles give one the feeling of friendship and every where i went was fun. I stopped at a small restaurant and the waitress being very young and pretty spoke no English which is fine but when looking at the menu i ask if she listed among the items. Only joking in a friendly manor A man who spoke English ask what i was saying and i told him at 82 most don't expect such language. He heard what i ask and went into laughter and smiles telling all what i said. They took it the way i meant it not like i was trying to be rude. The tables around me and those on the sidewalks stopped and laughed and it set the pace for smiles.

Our hotel, Arrecife Punta Uva, was right on the beach and very conveniently close to a restaurant. There were plenty of seating areas and hammocks provided, which made it easy to relax. One of the highlights was a beautiful viewpoint on a cliff about a 10-minute walk away—definitely worth the short hike. The food at the restaurant was also quite good.

We loved our beach cabin stay in Manzanillo!

We loved our beach cabin stay in Manzanillo! We ate meals on the front porch surrounded by the beautiful garden, listening to the rolling waves of the ocean. The beach is just across the street, and the nature reserve is a five minute walk away at the end of the street. There is also a good Caribbean restaurant at the other end of the street, also just a five minute walk from the cabin. Our host was very friendly and attentive. It’s a quiet, authentic beach town, and much less touristy than Puerto Viejo. We plan to stay there again.

Maybe I shouldn't tell you this to keep the place serene LOL

Maybe I shouldn't tell you this to keep the place serene LOL The Caribbean side of Costa Rica feels completely different from the Pacific coast. While the Pacific has become busy, built-up, and crowded with tourists, the Caribbean remains far more relaxed, natural, and authentic. Here you find quiet beaches, lush jungle, small locally owned restaurants, and a calm, easygoing vibe that hasn’t been overrun by tourism. It’s the perfect place for travelers who want beauty, culture, and nature without the noise, traffic, and commercial feel of the Pacific coast.

We arrived by accident on the day of TortuFest, when there was a carnival in the streets, lots of performers and lots of fun: 1.11., highly recommended. It's good to take a morning canoe tour — even if it's raining the whole time you get to see a lot and it's a nice experience — walk through the jaguar trail, and we've seen a bunch of animals on the night walk as well (including a pooping sloth). El Patio is a great restaurant for carribean food, but the little soda right at the docks was also quite nice.

Nice for snorkeling and hiking through the park. Not so touristic as Puerto Viejo, so a more realistic Carribean vibe. Snorkeling only allowed by tour, many fish but the coral wasn't very colorful
