This is supposed to be an all-bungalow resort, but we were shown to a room in a 4 room concrete block! A very nice room, but not what we expected! We complained and were moved. The bungalows are great and this is a very good resort with a lovely swimming pool and it is in an excellent location for a... More

I think it would be appropiate to start with this : This hotel is awesome. Fresh from the start, you feel a very warm welcome from the whole crew, from the recepcionist to the chief of customer service. The hotel entrance is slightly hidden and you will only see the billboard a few meters before finding the entrance, the whole... More

We recv'd a welcome mixed fruit drink upon arrival after a loooong 5 hr drive from San Jose; nice 1st impression. Everyone was helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Our only issue was that the sheets were a little small for the bed but we never mentioned it to mgmt. We enjoyed a nice breakfast buffet w/a wide food selection... More

We loved it here! The beach is across the road and you can hear the beach while you explore the best of Costa Rica flora, fauna and small wildlife including a wild hummingbird nesting over the front desk at check-in. Multiple nests of hummingbirds, sloths in trees, colorful frogs & birds, butterflies and crabs in trees & ground. Indigeneous howling... More

We stayed in 5 different hotels during our trip in Costa Rica, and this was my personal favorite, by far. The grounds were beautiful, in fact, some of the best pictures from the trip were taken on the grounds of this hotel. We arrived late our first night, after the desk had closed. But we were able to talk to... More

We stayed at the Cariblue for 8 nights and had a wonderful time. We booked a junior suite and thought it was great, beds are a bit firm but everything else was great, even had a mini fridge. We travelled with our 4 yr old and she love the hotel especially the pool and saw the resident sloth in a... More

Beautiful grounds, great location directly across from Playa Cocles and a short 2 minute drive into Puerto Viejo. Staff were not very helpful, (except one staff member at the front desk and the bar staff), every time we went to the front desk I had to wait for service (even though a staff member was right there and knew I...

The hotel is situated about 2 km for the centre of Puerto Viejo. During the day you can do it by bike (they rent out bikes in the hotel), at night it's advisable to do it by taxi. The rooms are nice and spacious. They're situated in the middle of the jungle, and still you hear the ocean. The pool... More
