We stayed here for a few nights at the end of March during Easter. The room was great, it had a porch overlooking the central garden around which all of the rooms are built. Although people walked past on the way to their rooms it still had a sense of privacy and was very chilled. The staff are lovely, very... More

Friendly staff. Charming grounds/rooms. Just around the corner from Bread and Chocolate, an American-owned and operated breakfast/lunch cafe. The Italians Paulo and Andrea were welcoming, willing to converse at length and, when we decided to leave a day early, refunded a portion of our bill. Unfortunately for us, we had the misfortune of being there during the tail end of... More

We loved both the town of Puerto Viejo and the hotel. Bed was super comfortable, it was quiet (other than the roosters in the morning) and the staff was incredible. They made not just our stay comfortable but our entire trip to the area as they were extremely helpful in helping us figure out things to do. The only negative... More

Spent five days here after a very wet trip to Tortuguera. At least here when it rained I could relax on my private terrace on my hammock in front of my cabin. Clean cabin with hot water in the bathroom. Friendly staff. Best of all situated close to the main drag, restaurants and beach, but very quiet even on a... More

After having spent 3+weeks doing the National parks and the schedualed tours we found the pace and people or PV to be just the perfect final phase of our one month stay in Costa Rica. We spent 8 days in the hotel and loved every minute of it. Close to all the shoping and resturants, great bakery about 150 meters... More

As usual, my husband, daughter and I had a great stay at Hotel Guarana. Paolo, Andrea and the girls are always very welcoming and ready to help with anything you may need. It is a very clean hotel with a great location to town but far enough back that its quiet as well. We always feel safe at Hotel Guarana... More

I was heading to Puerto Viejo for 10 days by myself, and found this hotel online. It had good reviews on tripadvisor so I booked it. I was not steered in the wrong direction!
