Independent, Caribbean Coast hotels

"Excellent stay at Mawamba lodge. Gardens around the ground are great and we saw sloths and Toucans a short walk from our room. Breakfast was great as was the dinner we had at the restaurant. Pool can get quite busy with families and children. Town is only a short walk away or they can provide a river taxi. Also took part in the tours arranged by the hotel which was fantastic with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Would highly recommend it visiting Tortuguero "

"My partner and I (LGBTQ community) stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful time! It was our anniversary and the staff helped me arrange a special cake from De Gustibus waiting in our room upon our arrival! It was so very special for us. The hotel was very walkable to the central part of Puerto Viejo and also very quiet neighborhood with it tucked back a bit. We did get woken up pretty early (5:30am) a few days of our stay because they serve breakfast starting at 7am and with it being designed as a horseshoe, we could hear the staff talking and utensils clinking as they started working. I think this place would be better off doing lunch/dinner instead of breakfast because of this reason. We booked the adult-only to hopefully have some late quiet mornings, but overall the quality of our stay was amazing and we would stay here again! "

"Holy cow, this place was spectacular! A stunning combination of modern comfort (fully outfitted kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces with fans, grill, WiFi, filtered water) and true natural immersion, with the open-walled format and private location. The pathway to the private beach is beautiful and convenient, and the customer service was kind, quick, and helpful. We didn't have a car, which was totally fine - Manzanillo is an easy 15-minute walk (on the beach or by the road), and Uber helped out when it rained. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer - it was good for two nights, but I'd love to come back for a week, stock up at the grocery store, and truly relax and unwind."

"Loved this place Jessica and others made this place enjoyable. "

"Where do I begin? The photo match the property! The staff, amazing! Its a bilingual facility and they take credit cards.
