Caribe Town Bungalows

We just returned from 9 days at Caribe Town and it was an amazing experience. The location was perfect for walking to restaurants, grocery stores, and various beach spots. You can easily take a short Tuk Tuk ride from Caribe Town to other beaches, national parks, and the central area of Puerto Viejo. From the moment we arrived for check-in we were greeted by wonderful staff who gave us a tour of the property, starting with the honor bar :) We stayed in Suite # 6 and enjoyed the balcony area each evening watching the wildlife (Sloths, Monkeys, birds, and Kinkajous) cross the tree lines. Be sure to bring a flashlight and wander the grounds at night to see the poisonous dart frogs on the leaves above the pond area. We opted for the daily breakfast, and it did not disappoint. Each day there is a special meal to choose from and my favorite being the Coconut French toast, but they were all fantastic! The dining/bar area is set up perfectly, giving it that relaxed Caribbean vibe. We enjoyed spending time here talking about our day and sharing experiences and ideas with other guests and staff. This was our first trip to Puerto Viejo, and we look forward to a return trip in the future.

Caribe Town is a beautiful, family run operation with the best vibes! We absolutely loved our 3 days. The bungalows are lovely, clean, and cozy. The entire property is beautiful and so well maintained. You can tell the absolute love and care that goes into creating the environment. We actually left for 24 hours, and when we returned it felt like coming home! Joel and his family are amazing and definitely made us feel super welcome. 100/10 would recommend for your Costa Rica stay!

We had a terrible experience at this place. It looks nothing like the pictures! The welcoming was not great, two prpperty dogs chasing us, the only one front desk person smelled bad which gave us a bad vibe already. The pool is tiny AND NOT MAINTAINED. You would never want to get in that pool. The water was dirty, green, and with algae growing everywhere...disgusting!!! The rooms were smaller than they look and smelled terrible. Muggy and the bed cleanliness very suspicious. We wlaked out after 10 mins, had to find amother hotel, couldn't stay there.

My now wife and I honeymooned in Costa Rica, and we stayed at Caribe Town for the majority of it. And let me just say, we could not have been happier with our experience! From the moment we arrived the staff and owners treated us like we were family. Think “laid back B &B in paradise”. It was incredible. The room was comfortable and well stocked, and anything you needed was either a short walk or drive away. And you must have breakfast there. We did the meal included option, and it was awesome. From authentic local Costa Rican breakfasts to eggs/sausages, to Huevos Rancheros, everything was fresh and delicious, made to order. One of the owners even makes his own pico de gallo. We had some fantastic food elsewhere on our trip but I’d put any of it up against Caribe Town. Even the owners two dogs were the best (see pics!). Another great feature was the excursions the staff recommended and set up for us. They really made our experience and honeymoon a trip to remember. Thank you Caribe Town!! We’ll be back!

Such an amazing trip! Karilily, Joel and the staff treated us like family and their kindness shown through every interaction and delicious meal. Our visit was for a yoga retreat at Caribe Town. We saw sloths on site almost daily, hummingbirds, Agouti, blue morpho and so much more. The accomodations were so clean, comfy beds and surrounded by jungle. They coordinated/recommended adventures for us (snorkeling and the Jaguar research center are two that I did and give 5 stars also). They coordinated spa services. Go for the massage on your bungalow patio with Clarissa. The food was incredible, the on site yoga practice area and option for other classes was perfect. I highly recommend catching a Zumba class with Enzo! You can't help but smile. And the beach is only a two minute walk. Thank you Karilily, Joel and family, Gillian, Natalia & Leticia for being so welcoming & kind. It was an amazing trip because of you!
