The series of cabins and the gardens make it quite pretty. Don't take room 3 - the bathroom is way too small! I don't even know how they managed to install a toilet in such a small space. Beds are nice. Refrigerators in rooms. You need to ask for a fan but it does cool down at night. They seemed... More

Thank you for everything! Our groups' stay at El Tesoro cabinas couldn't have been better. Manuel in particular was so attentive, and fantastic at helping us with any need we had during our stay. Can't thank you enough, and would certainly recommend staying here for both the kind hospitality and excellent location!

i had a great time staying in "El tesoro". the location was amazing. quiet and beautiful place and not too far from the town. Manuel, the owner, was really nice and helped me in anyway. i met a lot of cool people there and the atmosphere was great. hope to come back there again when i visit puerto viejo.

It gives me no pleasure in writing this less than positive review, after spending such a wonderful time in Puerto Viejo, Cocles and Cahuita for our honeymoon. Despite the valiant attempt to make our stay as wonderful as possible, the flowers in the room could not hide the fact that the room had not been cleaned in quite some time.... More

It is really unhappy to receive negatives critics when, contrariwise, we tried to make your vacancy the most comfortable, working the all day to prepare your room. Concerning flowers decoration, I have been personally careful that the room was romantic and welcoming for the special occasion. If flowers has some ants (if they had been many we would had seen...

We ended up staying 5 nights in this lovely place! The Italian management is very helpful and don't hesitate to ask Manuel in the reception if you need anything. And I mean anything! If he is going to town he gladly buy you a couple of beers at the supermarket for you, he is awesome! We stayed in the dorm... More

I was part of a major group, and we all had a blast! The landscaping and staff were definitely perks (Manuel did everything in his power to accommodate all of us at once)! The location is out of the main portion of PV, but that's actually a GOOD thing! Right on Playa Cocles, and behind the Awesome Tasty Waves bar,... More
