Lovely relaxing stay. We saw sloths in the trees and poison dart frogs on the ground! The walks along the beach were beautiful. The food was very good especially the tuna steaks and it was not too expensive. Excellent cocktails!

The hotel was conveniently located close to a beautiful, private beach. The staff was friendly but dining staff was very very slow. Wifi is very weak here. Nice rooms but without air conditioning. Make sure to bring earplugs for the road noise and birds.

Natalie

Liked: Cleanliness
Loved property itself and location/rooms "floorplans", but for the price, expect a few more things to work smoothly. For example, the outside door was broken, and when "fixed", became even more unusable - this was not fixed entire trip. The coffee is not in the room but outside - never enough, always cold, and impossible to pump. The door has no handle on inside and doesn't stay closed unless you lock. The pillows and mattress are old and worn out - had better in a budget hotel in CR. The mosquito net doesn't stay on/close, so purely decorative. The shower switch doesn't work so you have very little water coming from the top. The electricity goes out frequently, and with no power back up, the fan switches off - given no AC, it is quite uncomfortable to sleep at night and gets very hot. Finally, and worst offense (among others), the internet in the room NEVER worked - had to go outside to work or work in the lobby of hotel. Oh, and the outside lights were not possible to switch on/off - only staff could do it. One night it was pitch dark, I texted and even told one of the employees about it, but nothing was done until I asked again the next day. There were positive things (and many), but the issues above and then some, make you upset as for the daily price charged, especially for the area, I expect far better.

The staff here is absolutely incredible! Everyone was so helpful and kind. Definitely want to give a shout out to Jessica and Timateo who were amazing! The breakfast was great. Lunches and dinners were delicious. They have a beautiful area to dine in, multiple bars, cool fire pit, lots of little nooks and crannies to chill in, and they are right on the beach, you can order right from the beach and receive your food and drinks without leaving Paradise, which is absolutely phenomenal. Definitely worth the stay, will be back next time I'm in Costa Rica.

Amazing stay. I traveled with 2 other young women (ages 21,21,20) and we felt incredibly safe the entire time. We ended up staying in the banana house, which is actually a seperate villa across a little road from the main part of the hotel, however it was gated, and this gate could be locked. The apartment itself was also gorgeous. The property is one of the few at this price range with a connecting beach, being on playa negra. It is around a 5 minute ride (15 minute walk) from puerto viejo city center. There is a market at the hotel that sells groceries and cheaper lunch meals. Furthermore down the street there is a soda (which is a “hometown” restaurant in costa rica) which offers cheaper food as puerto viejo and costa rica is a bit expensive. Included breakfast is AMAZING. You have multiple options plus included coffee and a daily juice. We will be back!! Not to mention the staff is amazing, particularly Diana was very helpful. This place is truly a gem and I would recommend it 10x over.

The place was beautiful and relaxing and the staff were very nice and friendly. What I didn't like was how some of the rooms had AC and a TV and others didn't and there was no form of entertainment. The food was excellent but I felt there should be more than one meal included in your stay not just breakfast and if breakfast was the only meal included you should not have to pay extra for more.
