I say Meh because it wasn't really bad or really good. The breakfast was good as were the drinks at the bar. I felt safe there but there were a lot of creepy scratchy noises going on at night. I'm pretty sure a rat ran across my legs as I took an afternoon nap. The beds were hard and always... more

La Costa de Papito is the one of the first places that I looked into in the Puerto Viejo area, and I fell in love with it after looking at the website and reading the reviews. That said, maybe my expectations were a bit high! We ended up staying at Pachamama Bungalows further south at Punta Uva for 4 nights... more

What a fantastic place! It was a great place to escape to and just enjoy hanging around. The rooms (bungalows) were so cool and private. Lots of beautiful flora and some wildlife on the property, right across from a great beach. Easy bike into town, but away from the noise and chaos of Puerto Viejo. There is a store and... more

Our very first trip to Puerto Viejo, years ago, we stayed at Costa de Papito and were amazed by Eddie, the staff, and their fantastic hospitality. The vibe for the hotel matches the surrounding area perfectly. I loved the fresh juice and wonderful breakfast on our porch, the hammock, the howler monkeys and birds on the premises. The cabanas were... more

We were so tired when we checked in late we really didn't know what to expect in the am. Wow! Our beautiful bungalow was set among fantastic flora and fauna--don't ask me the names, but lots of colors--and the SOUNDS. Whistles, chirps, hoots.. And then the sound of staff bringing us our breakfast so we could sit on our bungalow... more

The reception staff, the restaurant and bar people, the women who serve breakfast at the bungalow - all are wonderful. I always ask for bungalow #2 and though I loved it as it was, the fact that they made it larger while continuing with their creative rustic details and designs, made it even more special to us. The queen bed,... more

I discovered La Costa on Trip Advisor and it turns out all the rave reviews about this place are true. I stayed here for 5 nights and it was a little slice of heaven the entire time. The rooms were a beautiful combination of rustic elegance. The surrounding gardens, full of lush vegetation and creatively integrated artwork, provide a private... more

considering what many of the surrounding hotels were charging, we felt a little ripped off. there was a HUGE cockroach in the bathroom which wouldn't have been a big deal except that the rooms were so poorly lit at night that we had the feeling that there were lots more creeping around in the dark. And although the openess of... more

This was a Lonely Planet Recommendation, that is the reason why we went there. The bungalows are nice with private terasse in a garden. You need to cross the street to get to the beach. The private breakfast on the terasse is really great. As everything is wooden and dark inside the rooms, it is difficult to spot the other... more

The bungalows were nice, and decently private. I could hear the jungle sounds outside as well as the ocean waves. The rooms were serviced every day, and the beds turned down. You could order breakfast to be delivered to your room for no extra charge. The staff was very helpful, and as I could not figure out how to set... more
