Very Poor
Nothing
The hotel has severe drainage and plumbing problems. There were cobwebs in the corners of the doors, a clear lack of care and cleanliness. Because of the drainage issue, the entire room reeked of sewage. The bathroom smell was unbearable, unacceptable. It was impossible to use the toilet comfortably or even be in the room with that odor. Words cannot describe such a horrible experience on the night of my birthday celebration. A cleaning problem this severe should be reported, investigated, and fixed. If it smells so bad that the sewage odor penetrates all of room #6, it's very likely that other rooms have the same drainage problem, and the fact that the receptionist couldn't help by calling maintenance at the time was also irresponsible and unacceptable. It seemed the only one interested in helping was the owner, obviously to avoid a complaint. I really appreciate the owner getting in touch, but unfortunately, that doesn't change my rating or my experience of the place. The receptionist said I could buy incense to put in the room; even with burning incense that smell was untolerable unbearable, didn’t get rid of the disgusting smell coming from the bathroom, which penetrated the entire room. It’s clear that the room was not checked by the staff before arrival. Also, as you leave the property, the trash is piled up next to the gate, which isn't good either. People have the right to know if there's anything wrong with the place they're considering staying.

Location was good. You could hear monkey during the night. Facility pool was perfect for a chill swim. Breakfast were incredible as well as staff.
Rusty, oldish equipment/furniture. Very small bathroom

The facilities were good. The pool was great. The cleaning staff did a very good job. Fresh towels each day were much apprecited; especially in the very damp environment. The breakfasts were also great; your cook did an excellent job and she was very welcoming.
Possibly more towels for the floors as the wetness gets pretty pervasive.

The staff were wonderful. So kind and helpful!
-The room smelled SO BAD!!! It smelled like sewer very strongly -the bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. My partner and I both had horrible back and neck pain each morning -the soundproofing between rooms is terrible so you could clearly hear the neighbours and we got woken up late and early because of them

The staff was nice, but not very attentive. The interior of our 2 room bungalo for 5 was very clean and nice. However, the private exterior jacuzzi's water wasn't clean and was not operational. That was disappointingand nothing was offered to make up for it such as a few free breakfasts. It was just an off-handed wave of the hand by the receptionist who escorted us that it didn't work. The outside covered deck to the bungalo was nice with a good refrigerator. The grounds were clean, but a little overgrown. The pool was big, but has poor access for those who need steps and rails for entry/exit. The breakfast was $10 per person with no table service. You have to walk over to the adjoining property to order, wait and then carry your plates back to a table to eat. It took 30 minutes to get 2 breakfasts cooked. It's a good jungle location not too far from some good beaches. Overall we enjoyed our 1 night stay. We found it to be a reasonable value, though there are some easy improvements that could be made to make it a much better experience. We would stay here again, but would also check other options the next time we come to Puerto Viejo.

The pool is lovely and the location is good, near great beaches and a laundromat. We liked having filtered water available in our room and coffee offered on the patio The grounds are beautiful.
The floor in our apartment was dirty and even though I brought this to the attention of staff and it was swept, it needed a good scrubbing. I had to wear shoes inside because the soles of my feet were black if I went barefoot. The fridge was broken and we had to throw out food. They finally replaced it at the end of our weeklong stay. My daughter had none of these problems in the Queen room which I would recommend over the apartment.The bungalows looked nice.

The bed was very comfortable and there was enough space to store luggage, even if the doors for the closet were missing. They offer refill water and free coffee. You can also use an open kitchen. The property could be a little cleaner (leaves everywhere) but it is very natural. Loved the hammock outside the room. The beach is about 10min away from the hotel and you can see so many animals around.
