We spent a wonderful, unforgettable time at the Escape Caribeno – thank you! The cozy and clean cabins of the hotel are located on the seaside and in the beautiful tropical gardens. They all dispose of air-condition and a safe. The car can be parked safely on the lockable(!) premises. The location of the hotel is perfect - you can... More

We stayed at Escape Caribeno while on our Costa Rica adventure. The rooms were very clean, the Cabin was restful, the hammick a great place to lie. The beach was close by. Enjoyed the garden, and the owners just left you alone to do your own thing. The dog is friendly and came into our cabin for a little walk... More

We spent 2 nights here as part of a G Adventures trip. Nice setting with trees, flowers, birds in multi-unit cabins just outside the small town, though the only good beaches were on opposite side of town--about 15 minutes walk. Rooms had A/C, small fridge and TV with many channels to watch during rain. (We thought would be "dry" season... More

Escape Caribeno is a beautiful place a short walk from the main town of Puerto Viejo, the grounds are beautiful and lead down to the beach. Gloria is the woman in charge, she was very nice and helpful. She genuinely cared about the safety of myself and the other guests, however she did scare me a little! It took me... More

I was in Costa Rica on an R&R out of Iraq and just needed some down time and found that at Escape Caribeno. I made great use of the hammock on the front veranda of my room and it was a short walk across the road to get to the beach. Ms. Gloria was a very gracious hostess and she... More

the rooms are all located in little houses. You have your own terrace with a hammac! The AC is included and the bugnets are allready in place! The rooms are clean and have a refrigerator. While you take your breakfast, you can watch the birds eating their breakfast... A little bit out of the town, 10 min walking away. 3... More

Great location. We booked an ocean side room but when we arrived it was a garden view. Not a major issue except we were located next to the road and it was VERY loud. I would highly recommend getting one of the cabin fartherest from the road. I found the mattress to be very uncomfortable and there was no hot... More

I stayed at Escape Caribeno for four nights in November, 2010 in an oceanside room. The rooms are clean and simple, with a mini-fridge, A/C, mosquito nets and a hammock on the front porch. The oceanside rooms have a great view and are quite comfortable. There is so much to do around town and on the beach that the small... More

As we stayed here on a group tour (only 12 of us) we can't comment on the value, but the cabins with the veranda, hammocks and chairs were very pleasant and breakfast good. The fridge is useful if a little noisy. We stayed on the garden side, but the walk to the beach was just across the road. There is... More

When did Costa Rica get so expensive? or is the dollar just that worthless. sigh. Anyway, this place is adequate but for the price, it's advisable to be on the beach side...yes, it's under $100 but just barely. The fridge was either in the bathroom or as a nightstand and yes nice to have but does it have to be... More
