We spent two weeks over the Christmas season with Huguette and Olivier. The weather was very wet a lot of that time, but it was excellent to be outside under cover in the tropical gardens and pool which were just out our doors. We had an anniversary dinner served by our hosts which was excellent. Rooms were cleaned every day,... More

Very affordable small place with great clean rooms and mosquito nets over beds. Huegette is a great hostess who treats the guests like family. The pool is clean, the whole property is beautiful and clean. Walking distance to downtown but away from the noise. Fridge is included, which was great because I like to start every day with fresh fruit... More

We only stayed here for 1 night, so I might not be able to draw conclusions on 1 night, but my stay was not comfortable at all and I have stayed in many rooms in Costa Rica, which were way more comfortable. Okay, this is a budget option, but there are no mosquito nets to fill all the gaps under... More

Mandala Appart'Hotel is a quiet, beautiful, and simple place to stay when in Puerto Viejo. It's just off the main road (really no issue at all to get into town- use your feet!) and down a quiet cobblestone road. The pool is well maintained, and the service is very friendly. Arranging a room from across the world was very easy... More

I stayed at Mandala Hotel for two months (april-june 2010). Mandala hotel has a very special ambient - it's quiet, beutifully decorated and the sound of the waterfall from the jacuzzi makes you feel like heaven. The hotel is situated perfectly outside (400 meters) the center of Puerto Viejo, 'next door' you find the jungle with an incredible wildlife, but... More

You starting to get awake in a big comfy bed. You look in your clean and spacy room and diced to take a warm shower. When you ready you step outside and use your own kitchen under a small roof and make yourself the best breakfast and enjoy it at your wooden cozy table outside between hundreds of flowers, next...

I stayed at the Mandala Apartment Hotel for two weeks in June. It was not peak season so it was quiet except for one other girl in the next room. It is a small hotel with 3 apartments and the apartment I got was perfect for me. My kitchen was outside opposite the pool and I could sit there with... More

From the moment we arrived at the cute little hotel just outside of downtown Puerto Viejo, we received great service from Huguette, the hotel's owner. The hotel is a great location, not in the middle of downtown, but close enough to walk, and just down the lane from the beautiful Playa Negra. At night, the sounds of the jungle were... More

My husband and I had the most wonderful time staying here. The owner is a wonderful, friendly, welcoming and generous hostess. We felt right at home and have made a wonderful new friend. The hotel is in a gorgeous, quiet, jungle location. The rooms are beautiful, clean and well cared for. The little private kitchen was a great added bonus.... More
