    It would be great if they could provide a communal fridge and coffee station all day.

    Beautiful setting - we had a bungalow with two doubles very spacious and we loved the verandah. Amazing wildlife just outside the cabin. The staff was very helpful and the room was cleaned every day. Great location also opposite the beach. Also did bike rental had a great day out.

    Excellently located. Great garden with stand-alone bungalows. Very quiet. You do not feel the vibe and rush of Puerto Viejo once you enter the garden. Although just 2 minutes from the beautiful beach (just across the street), you enter spacious quite paradise and forget the world around you. This is a perfect mix between beach life, night life and calm holidays in the middle of a paradise garden. We originally wanted to stay 3 nights. It was soooo good, that we prolonged a bit. We were happy, that our bungalow was available for more nights. :-) On top: the staff is the most friendly staff I ever met in a holiday destination. We got a lot of information (we asked for), very helpful tips and most of all: Once we had a little problem (left some cloths in the bungalow), staff was mega helpful, found the pieces and sent them to our next stop across the country and cared a lot for us receiving the parcel. Outstanding!

    Bungalow was a couple of meters of a noisy road... Don't understand why they gave us the worst place in that respect... We booked months beforehand. The explanation we got was that Booking.com decided what bungalow we got... strange explanation that is difficult to believe.

    Location next to the beach!

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel, and the staff made it even better with their helpful and friendly service. I must give a special shout-out to Gabriel, who went above and beyond to suggest activities and dining options for us with a smile always on his face. The breakfast provided was not only delicious but also very generous in portion size. While the property was surrounded by nature, which is what I was looking for, it wasn't exactly what I expected as I couldn't walk and enjoy the surroundings as much as I wanted. Despite that, I would still recommend this hotel as a great place to stay in Playa Cocles, with its proximity to the beach and many dining options.

    It’s about a kilometre walk into town which is not a great walk because there is no sidewalk and it can be dangerous with cars whizzing by.

    We liked the decor and the hammock and outdoor area. Over the road from a nice hostel that has a restaurant and direct access to the beach. Lots of agouti animals scurrying around the property. Breakfast was good and staff were helpful and friendly.

    Had a problem with our room initially and the staff moved us to a bigger bungalow and provided free breakfast. V quick to rectify the problem which was great

    Great private bungalows with wildlife visible in the grounds. Right across from a great beach bar with super food and space to chill in hammocks. Breakfast in the hotel was also great.

    It was "ok" for an overnight stay.

    Restaurant IS NOT available for Lunch and/or Dinner - is just available for breakfast and ONLY if you place an order the day before. While room was "clean" (floor, bathrom), the room was not in really clean condition, as an example, if you "move" the mosquitoes "net" that is over the beds, a lot of termite "dust" is going to fall from the ceiling, in the bed, also there is some kind of "small fecal matter" that falls from the ceiling, which could be from small bats or other rodents or other animals... but these also fall in the beds... Also, the room in which I stayed (bungalow 12) was really close to a "back road" which was pretty noisy...

    Location is great and convenient in the area, is not hard to get to the reception, it has great parking spots, reception and receptionist was friendly and available.

    Expensive wine

    This place is just outside the main village but nice flat walk down, top tip - rather than walk down the road side , cross over to the beach bar & walk left down into town through the beach jungle walk & spot Sloughs ! We took the family bungalows for two traveling couples which was great. Indian restaurant attached we didn’t eat but looked fantastic but the vino was a little expensive £30 !
