Desperately in need of a refresh and deep clean - and should be 1/2 the price
Pros:

Room was incredibly outdated. I checked in and ended up choosing to head back to San Jose on the late bus. The hotel clearly had some charm at some point but it had long since seen better days. The beds were clean but mattresses and pillows were ancient. The blinds did not work well and no way to keep tons of light from flooding in. Air con did not work. Bathroom had been superficially wiped clean and badly needed a deep clean.

Cons:

All amenities and decor need a refresh, and room and bathroom need a deep clean.

Bien por el precio
Pros:

Yo sé que pagué la habitación más pequeña, aún así estaba cómoda. Precio vs calidad, estaba bien en general.

El personal fue servicial, muy dispuestos a ayudar.
El desayuno buffet estuvo bien.
La piscina esta bien también.
La ubicación esta bien, cerca del centro de Puerto Viejo, distancia caminable.

Es una habitación buena para una persona que va a disfrutar la zona más que estar en el hotel, porque es eso pequeña con poco iluminación y la ventana da a otro de los hospedajes, no tiene una vista memorable.

Cons:

Todas las habitaciones tenían hamaca menos la mía y el baño era compartido, es como el baño que usa la recepción, entonces todos los turistas y gente lo usa.

No me gustó que de noche se siente muy solo caminar hacia el hotel.

Bien
Pros:

La cercanía con el centro y que está bien equipado

Cons:

La piscina no está en el mismo lugar donde nos hospedaron, no se indica que son dos propiedades. La ducha un poco vieja y el agua se sale porque las puertas no cierran bien.

Great value! Location was awesome (just at the end of the main drag).
Pros:

Staff were very attentive and friendly. Grounds were lovely. Not right in the middle of the busy nightlife, but still with cafes and restaurants right outside the front gate.

Cons:

Had some trouble with the toilet, even after staff fixed it. Zero personnel on staff at night, with instructions instead to send a message through WhatsApp if any issues (meant we had to do our own toilet fix one night).

For an enjoyable beach side stay in Puerto Viejo, I would recommend Escape Caribeno.
Pros:

The location of this resort was excellent and the staff were very responsive and friendly. The breakfast was a buffet style and the food was fresh and delicious. One aspect of the resort that we especially enjoyed was hearing the surf during the night, as we were in a cabana on the beach side of the main road.

Cons:

The resort management could provide better soap in the bathrooms.

I would have felt more comfortable in a hostel probably than in my single room.
Pros:

The location is very central and optimal for my plans at the time

Cons:

The bed broke down in the night, the mosquitoes killed me (not the hotels fault but something to mention) and the rest was very mediocre, while the room felt very small.

Het is helaas niet waar voor je geld
Pros:

Het hotel bevindt zich op een goede locatie met afgesloten parkeerplekken. Het personeel kijkt ontevreden maar ze zijn echt wel vriendelijk.

Cons:

Het water was koud en het is erg gehorig. De bedden zijn erg klein en smal.

Local tranquilo para ficar em Puerto Viejo
Pros:

O local é bem localizado, perto do centro de Puerto Viejo e também perto de uma rodovia que dá acesso às praias de Punta Uva, Manzanillo, etc. As acomodações como casas são interessantes com bastante arborização. A equipe do Hotel muito atenciosa.

Cons:

Sem nenhum problema. Eu fiquei em uma habitação mais nos fundos e não tão perto da entrada que fica do lado da rodovia o que pode incomodar o ruído dos carros que passam na rodovia.
