Pros:

Wij verbleven hier 4 nachten. Heel mooi zwembad in een mooie tuin. De kamers zijn goed. En worden iedere dag schoonmaken. De eigenaresse is heel erg vriendelijk. En gaf ons echt het gevoel dat we ons thuis voelde.

Peaceful Stay with Sloths
Pros:

The location is farther from the area with music, restaurants, and traffic, so it's perfect for relaxing in silence, yet you can still reach the restaurants on foot without any problem.
There is one sloth, actually two, that choose the hotel garden as a daytime sleeping spot, so you also get a private, close-up encounter with a sloth.
The host is great and can give you tips to tailor your Costa Rica experience.

The best hotel in Puerto Viejo!
Pros:

Loved it. The owner, Stella, is amazing and the other staff is great too.They do everything that they can to make your stay as pleasurable as it can be. Really good location, in town but not in the center so it is very quiet.
Loved the jungle feel on the property, and the pool was so nice. I was traveling for months all over Costa Rica and stayed at many hotels, and this one is one of my favorites. Clean, big rooms with kitchen 👌🏻

Cons:

Nothing

Ein kleines Paradies etwas abseits des Trubels in Puerto Viejo
Pros:

Die Anlage ist noch schöner als auf den Bildern bei booking.com
Die neue supernette Besitzerin hat die Grünanlagen nochmal deutlich aufgewertet und investiert mit Liebe zum Detail weiter in eine Aufwertung der Anlage. Optisch wie technisch.

Pasable
Pros:

Es muy limpio , aseado y buen estado de las habitaciones

Cons:

Que me indican al llegar que es compartido , mal informado que debía compartir la habitación con otras personas , aclarado después de que se compartían áreas comunes y el baño , información que no se me brindó a la hora de hacer la reserva

Pros:

Absolutely everything is cleaned to a very high standard every single day. The pool is gorgeous and always very quiet. The host is friendly but stays out of the way. The grounds are beautiful, so many gorgoeus plants and trees. We also had a sloth come by our terrace as well which was really cool!

Cons:

They need hooks in the rooms to hang things. Perhaps for these type of accommodation a tv in the room would benefit, since it's a very nice place to chill and 'live'.

The outdoor seating area could be comfier, the sofa covers outside are plastic/vinyl
