Best place to stay in Puerto Viejo. You will have an amazing staff going above and beyond to make you feel at home, beautiful rooms surrounded by plants, they have events some nights, great community to make friends with, very close to mama in street and the beach. You just can't beat this place, if you come to Puerto Viejo, you have to stay here.
