This was our second visit to Costa Rica but our first visit to the Caribbean coast. It is just as they say, wild and untampered by tourism. We stayed at the Cariblue for 4 days. We very much appreciated the pool when the ocean was too rough to swim in....which was every day. The undertow is strong, great if you... more

Our families stay at Cariblue was just what we were looking for in a Caribbean hotel and even beyond expectations! The grounds are well kept, the staff very helpful, with clear English for us non Spanish speaking guests. Though all six of us are vegetarians, the restaurant staff was most accommodating and willing to make up anything for us. At... more

This is one of the most beautiful resorts in the Puerto Viejo area.. the grounds and pool are just stunning and the cabins have a great, relaxed vibe with hammocks and enormous beds.

When I arrived at the reception desk of Hotel Cariblue in Puerto Viejo in Costa Rica, a guest was explaining that he had to leave because one of his kids had just got sick. I did not think much of it until I had my first meal in the hotel's revoltingly bad restaurant. My travel companion ordered a high priced... more

We stayed Cariblue for 4 nights, the morning we were leaving, we opened our safebox and our money was gone. Someone at the hotel had opened the door to our room and the safebox in the room. So if you stay there do not put your money in the safebox. more

Our second and third night in Costa Rica and here we are, close to our personal tropical paradise. Very attractive garden grounds (with a young sloth slothing around!) with beautiful bungalows (difference between standard and superior rooms: with or without a/c, at least so I was told). There are safety boxes in the rooms. Especially my mother said that it... more

We stayed at the Cariblue Hotel in April 2008 and have been meaning to write a review for a while... we've finally gotten around to it! My husband and I and our 4 year old son had a terrific time at Cariblue. It was our first trip to the east costa of Costa Rica and the experience was well worth... more

Cariblue is a very beautiful resort. Gorgeous grounds, lovely rooms. Unfortunately there was not a happy and welcoming vibe from the staff- mainly the receptionist. She was not easy to deal with and some incidents made our stay less pleasant than it could have been. We immediately had lunch- my husband who speaks excellent Spanish ordered a Hamburguesa-- but unfortunately... more
