Maalaistalot – Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

”Incredible experience! Personable and authentic staff; sleep in the jungle and get to view everything (sloths, monkeys, etc) others pay guides to see; footsteps from a stunning beach, this is a truly an all in one Costa Rica experience. But as the website notes, this is for those that want a more raw experience, so don’t expect the hottest showers or finest linens. But you are very well taken care of and staff are very responsive.

”We had the most amazing stay at the saranda. The staff were amazing, the room was great and comfy. Loved the private bathroom! The place was beautiful. ”

”Si un poco de vista hacia la playa😁personal muy amable,cuartos limpios, en general disfrutamos mucho la estancia. Mil gracias 😊 ”

”The hotel is very modern and clean. My suite was very large and the surroundings are lovely. Staff is very friendly and the guard pointed me some animals hidden in the garden.

”Pool , staff every thing was great. I wish I had realized There was a small store almost across the street. I also wish they had beach chairs. Take a small soft collapsible ice chest for the beach.

You will be fine. ”
