I just got home from Banana Azul the end of October. My wife and I spent a week in the Dolphin room. We really liked the corner room so we had 2 sets of balcony doors. These doors remained open the entire week. I dont know if it was just the time of year for no mosquitos, but we never... more

This was the absolute worst vacation I have ever had to endure in my life. My vacation was ruined by several factors at the Banana Azul, but mostly, the owners of the inn,were totally unprofessional and they completely violated my privacy. Beware! I caught one of the owners in my room when I returned to the Banana Azul one day.... more

This Hotel really does live up to its reviews, and as stated before, those looking for a laid back and quiet, not crowded and over developed beach hot spot, this is your place. Puerto Viejo is close enough to make getting to town easy, and far enough to feel the privacy and serenity of Banana Azul. We split our meals... more

We have been travelling in Costa Rica for about a month at the time of this writing and Banana Azul is the nicest hotel/resort we have had the pleasure of staying at. Initially we stayed for 4 nights, but ended up returning for a further 6 nights and days, due to ll of the above reasons and more. There is... more

My husband and I went to CR from Aug 30-Sept 9, 2009 and we stayed at Banana Azul the entire time except for our last night (we had an early flight so we stayed at casa 69 in San Jose). We loved, loved, loved Banana Azul. The staff was great, they we friendly and helpful and they all seemed to... more

My wife and I enjoyed our 3 night stay at this property very much. We stayed in the Dolphin Suite and enjoyed the large deck with hammock. We attempted to stay in the Howler suite, but it was booked during our stay. The top floor rooms here are numbered 1 to 8 with the Howler Suite being number one and... more

...in the words of Mary Poppins. We stayed during the second half of our honeymoon after trekking the Inca trail in Peru. We were quite exhausted and Banana Azul was the perfect antidote for all of that strenuous activity. I'm not sure what I can add to all that's been said before. The staff were lovely, friendly without being intrusive,... more

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Stayed both downstairs in a garden room and upstairs in the ocean view due to room availability. We preferred the ocean room due to it's openness. It was hot and sticky during our stay and we did not want to open our window (in the garden room) since it faced out into the... more
