When you think of Costa Rica, you can see La Costa de Papito in your mind!! It is surrounded in beautiful tropical landscaping, and the all wood bungalows are designed perfect. There are canopy draped beds (you could need them, we didn't), room size walk-in showers. There is a porch with table and chairs, and an hammock. The owners live... More

Did not stay at hotel, but ate at the restaurant twice. Everything was fresh and well=prepared. Prices were very reasonable considering the quality of the food. The restaurant was built with gorgeous exotic woods, It's pretty much open air and at the edge of a rain forest. Especially nice at night with the landscape lighting. Can't wait for my next... More

I stumbled upon La Costa de Papito several years ago and have returned several times since. I just stayed there again this past week and I swear, each time the experience just gets better and better. This place is more than a hotel- the people who own and work at La Costa de Papito are some of the best I've... More

My 13 year old son chose this unique place as part of his Make-a-Wish trip. He wanted to see the rainforest and jungles and see monkeys and sloths. He didn't want a "foo-foo" hotel. He wanted to stay in a cabin in the jungle. This really fit the bill. We felt like we were really far from civilization, yet all... More

We spent 3 nights there. The bungalows are fantastic, very clean and in the middle of a nice garden. In the morning you can enjoy the butterflies in front of the bungalow. Breakfast is extremely good. The restaurant is also very good. You can also get beach towels from the hotel. Wifi works everywhere. Great place!

We spent 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed this unique lodging expereince. As a woodworker, I was fascinated with all of the wood used in the construction. Yes, I have slept on better beds and the ergonomics of the bathroom sink could have been improved. However, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the ambience, privacy nd location.

I run a tour business and we had the opportunity to enjoy this hotel last week. A few minor hitches prevented me from giving this hotel a 5 star rating but overall, it was a very good hotel for its' price. The location afforded its' peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Puerto Viejo. The staff... More

I stayed here for one night, that's all the availability they had. I just wish I could have stayed longer. The cabins are incredible. My cabin (12) was spacious, really clean, bright and airy. It had a deck with hammock which was bliss to read on in the evenings. The reception staff were very friendly and efficient and it was... More

This place is very nice and interesting. The bungalows are very pretty and we really enjoyed having our own porch and hammock to chill on. We also enjoyed the privacy. However, the place is kind of dark and the mattresses are not very comfortable, although tolerable. The bathroom sink was not ergonomically designed. There is about an inch of space... More

Our group was on our way back from downtown and looking for a nice cold drink and someplace to have dinner. We happened upon this hotel and was intrigued even from the outside driving down the street. What a find! We had just stopped a The Good Vibes bar and they were out of this and that so we continued... More
