Hotel Escape Caribeño

Lovely property in a good location, breakfast was good, staff were kind. The landscaping is fantastic. It's very clean
We were in cabana no 1, and it was so loud that we could not sleep. Hitcwatee is hit ir miss. Highway noise, people screaming at all hours, and horns, motorcycles.

We had a great stay at Escape Caribeño. It was the last stop on our 3-Week Tour through Costa Rica and I think it was the best Hotel we stayed at. The rooms were clean and the breakfast was really good. It is near to many Restaurants and Shops and also has a Laundromat right next to it. Hotel staff was always super friendly and helpful. It was visible to me how frequently they swept the tiles outside and made sure there were no leftover leaves or anything on it. One thing I personally really appreciate was how many plants and different trees etc. were planted on the grounds. It’s beautiful to look at and good for Wildlife. We saw 2 sloths in the trees near the Hotel Reception which was my personal highlight. I really look forward to coming back here. I can only recommend this place.

Visited as part of a group . A lovely hotel well situated and with a brilliant swimming pool in a fabulous garden. The rooms are okay, fairly basic but comfortable but the shower needs a new nozzle and the towels were so thin. And disappointed there wasn’t even a kettle in the room

Our family stayed here for 4 days (my husband, our 2 yr old and 6yr old and my mom in her 80's). It was like living a dream being here. The staff are so kind and helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and we were grateful for the air-conditioning,tv and refrigerator. These are the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on in Costa Rica. The gardens are so beautiful and amazing and we saw so many birds and animals all at the hotel (agouti, sloth and baby, iguana, little lizards everywhere). We loved all our meals at the restaurant. The pool is lovely and we spent some part of every day in it and there's a private beach access too. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone it's lovely. I have been here 3 different times in the past but this is the best hotel I have stayed at yet. Pura vida

Escape Carribeno

Escape Caribeno is a delightfulsurprise, full of lush gardens, a lovely swimming pool, and spacious rooms. It’s mere steps away from the beach and ten minutes walking distance from the lively town of Puerto Viejo. We loved our stay there. The reception team was marvelous and answered all our questions.

Really nice place with comfortable large rooms, beautifully manicured grounds, excellent pool and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities on the grounds. We had a sloth with baby living just outside our unit and an Agoudi that enjoyed making the morning rounds. The staff were very friendly and the entire experience first rate.

Escape Caribeño is such a beautiful place! We saw sloths, a monkey and frogs on their property. Breakfast was tasty and the staff super helpful. Room was clean and the shower worked well. Would definitely stay again!

This is a quaint hotel with friendly front desk and restaurant staff. It is walking distance from the center of town where there are lots of restaurants and entertainment. One of the features of the hotel is the entrance to the beach; small; semi private section.

Me and my wife stayed for a couple nights this week and wow what an amazing experience. From check in to renting bikes from the front desk, the hotel restaurant, and getting advice and information from the front desk, everything was absolutely amazing. They were extremely accommodating and helpful, it being my first time in the country, I could not have asked for anything more. Also the beach view room was stunning. We also saw monkeys and sloths from our hammock on our front porch. Whenever I’m able to come back I could not even consider staying anywhere else!

Please DO NOT GO to this hotel! -1. LACK of any modern comfort 2. UNPROFESSIONAL and CREEPY MANAGMENT. From the outside it is very charming, but when you walk in it looks like an unrefurbished cabin from the 1950's. There are 50's style Jalousie mini angled windows that don't seal and allows all the main street noises in, including bugs, and also 5 am bird noises, so sensitive sleepers beware! No Hospitality tray/coffee machine. And what he called a "othopedic" mattress that moves easily across the wooden frame when simply bumped, so my hips that sank to the bottom wooden frame. MOST IMPORTANTLY CREEPY!!! I felt his intentions were sincere in trying to "help" me but he ENTERED MY ROOM when I WASN'T THERE, took a picture of my personal items on the table and sent it to me?? (EMOJI SHOCKED!!) (Went for a walk and left my car keys)I was like RUNNING OUT OF THIS PLACE and then refused to refund my other days saying I had to go through my booker- which of course, they wouldn't do, but he could of EASILY refunded me and refused upon a nice letter. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A SINGLE GIRL---DO NOOOOOTTTT GO HERE!!!

I needed a room last minute and they were very accommodating. Staff was great and breakfast was perfect. I will return

Excelente atención. Las instalaciones, la limpieza y el servicio son impecables. Volveremos.

Muy agradable, las habitaciones cómodas y no es un hotel ruidoso, tiene un restaurante muy bonito junto a la piscina y la comida un 💯. La atención muy cálida, agradable y divertida. Sin duda alguna regresaría.

Great place, clean and nice rooms

The Hotel has two parts. The reception and rows of bungalows are on the right side of the road when coming from Puerto Viejo center. The road is VERY noisy and hence my recommendation is to ask for a bungalow beyond the reception and close to the pool. We stayed in a "sea view bungalow" on the opposite side of the road. You do not sea, but hear the sea as the bungalows are separated from the sea by a 50m stretch of mature trees and bushes. Large clean rooms, veranda with hammock with view on the garden, lawns and trees. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and monkeys (howler and spider) provide entertainment. One great advantage here is the footpath 10m from the sea that gets you into town (10min), the excellent bakery (5min) or to the cockles beach (20 min). So much nicer than walking beside the heavy traffic on the road. The downside of the "sea view bungalow" is the road and its traffic noise just 20m away.

Had a great stay at Hotel Escape Caribeno. Was a quick trip to Panama and only stayed one night but will go back for sure. Beautiful property.

The grounds are immaculate and the staff aimed to please. The location is great for walking to the middle of town or a short tuk tuk drive for about $3 dollars. Breakfast although not included in the price was worth the additional fee and was Delicious.

Good option for a family to stay in town in Puerto Viejo. Right out front there’s a great walking trail through the jungle to Playa Cocles. We saw sloths almost every time we took a walk.

Checked in as part of your group for a two night stay. Good space, tv, ac, safe and decent bathroom. Pool , bar and restaurant on premises.
Staff is friendly. Rooms are clean.

Location is good. Approximately seven minute walk. There are a lot of stores, cafes and restaurants.

My coworker and I stayed at this hotel for the weekend and we really liked it. The garden is beautiful and there are a lot of different small animals.
Armadillos, crabs, hummingbirds, Watusa and colourfull frogs.
A small walk to the "center" of Viejo.
