Stayed here in Oct 2023..just forgot to post a review. Hopefully they renovated but this was a package deal under travel by Jen. I wouldn’t use that travel agency again and wouldn’t stay at this place again. Bugs were all over the bed, constant mosquitos, flies. Stains over the sheets, towels and wash cloths…there was NO hot water. A bat flew in and landed on the bed, we had to battle with that. That’s when we HAD TO GO! We were suppose to stay 3 days. Ended up staying 1 night. We advised the lady at the front and we got a nonchalant sorry. Requested a refund and no one ever replied. Never again!
This place is a gem! I have been now twice, each time taking my cousins. You cannot beat the location, as you can mosey across the road right to Playa Cocles.
Rooms are typical and comfortable, everything you need. There is a ton of wildlife everyone. The price is good and especially for the value. You can have a cup of coffee in the morning and add breakfast if you want. The Indian food is also outstanding; do yourself a favor and plan one dinner at the restaurant onsite. My cousins also got a massage and they said it was great, professional and exactly what they were looking for.
Everyone there is very friendly. Highly recommended. Skip the cheaper hostels and the more expensive hotels and stay somewhere you will feel right at home. I'd return again, cousins or not, in a heartbeat.
Our stay at was simply unforgettable! The beds were heavenly, and we enjoyed peaceful nights free from mosquitoes. The charming jungle-like setting of the small houses added to the magic, with wildlife sightings making it even more special.
The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. Plus, the hotel's proximity to a stunning beach and easy access to Puerto Viejo's center via tuc tuc rides made exploring a breeze.
If you're looking for a relaxing escape surrounded by nature, this is the place to be.
So it’s walking distance from the beach and all kinds of little eateries. You’re not far from all the tourist shops. The staff are so very sweet. The water was choppy and the gentleman at the counter begged us to be careful. You can tell they really care for their guest. The rooms are very clean showers had warm water. Highly recommend it! Quiet and calming
Me gustó mucho la ubicación, cerca del centro y de las playas, el personal atento y amable, un lugar cálido y hermoso. Volvería a hospedarme con la familia.
It was a well deserved recommendation from a friend. The bungalows seem very secluded but yet close to all the amenities. Well appointed with good light and shower facilities. The staff were so helpful and spoke very good english. La Costa is within walking distance to everything. Absolutely loved it. Thank you.
My family has stayed here multiple times for good reason. If you are looking for that truly tropical experience this is the place to stay! The bungalows are not fancy, but each unique and remind me of the Swiss Family Robinson theme at Disneyland. The staff is super friendly and accommodating! The included breakfast offers eggs any way you want them, ham, lots of fresh fruit and bread, pancakes, potatoes, plantains, etc. Never had better in Costa Rica! Eat in the restaurant or take it back to your bungalow and eat on your private bamboo patio with hammock and table. Evening may include enjoying a cocktail in the huge bar with big screen tv. We woke to the sounds of exotic birds and howler monkeys every morning. And if location is important, well this is the best! Just a couple kilometers from the Puerto Viejo shopping and nightlife but right across the street from the serene surfing beaches of Cocles. Not sure if AC included but we found it not necessary with the ceiling fans. Thanks Eddie and entire staff for a wonderful stay!
Update 6/15-6/21/2023: Another amazing stay at Costa de Papito. Marva, Ela and Gabriel couldn't have been more accomodating! I even had an eye injury and they were so concerned, gave me ice for the swelling, and checked on me periodically to make sure all okay. I love this place!
Es un lugar increíble inmerso en la naturaleza, fue hermoso hospedarme aquí todo el personal es muy atento muy agradecido con ellos. Tiene una ubicación excelente frente a una playa hermosa cuenta con todo lo que necesitas para una estadía soñada sin dudas quiero volver en un futuro.
Beautiful bungalows with plenty of space. Very clean and accommodating. Receptionist was very helpful with booking tours and offering suggestions on things to do.
Tengo tres obervaciones importantes: 1. Deben poner ducha caliente no solo fría ahí llueve y hace falta el agua tibia o caliente para esos momentos, 2. Deben poner un televisor justo y necesario, 3. No mezclar en el desayuno la fruta dentro del planto de comida (pinto) debe darse la fruta por aparte aunque se ensucie un plato más.
