Very peaceful place well kept and just beautiful to look at! The staff was very friendly and helpful, our room (bungalow) was beautiful, the breakfast was exceptional. The garden and pool are great for relaxing, lots of birds. You can walk along the beach to Puerto Viejo (1 hr), the Jaguar Rehab is close by and we found a nice little restaurant (Morian, 10 min walk) close by. We would recommend Lanna Ban to anyone who doesn’t want the hustle and bustle of Puerto Viejo.

The facility is owner operated. He is friendly and can speak English, although he is Spanish. Most willing to try to get us to a specific tour by calling the organisers. The room was spacious and the swimming a great relieve in the heat of Puerto Viejo. About 300 metres from the sea and very nice beach restaurants.

The staff was friendly, attentive and courteous. Kim went out of her way to ensure a memorable vacation and provided services that exceeded our expectations. The property was well cared for and the updates and upcoming renovations are sure to please upcoming guests. The housekeeping staff, maintenance people and groundkeepers were all welcoming and greeted us with a smile each time we ran into them. I wouldn't choose another location in this super sweet beach town...you shouldn't either!

WiFi is great with TV in every quarters to watch Netflix etc. Tim is an excellent host and his staff is extremely accommodating. A true gem.

We stayed for several nights at the Casa Bohö during our 3 weeks trip thru Costa Rica. Casa Bohö was definitely one of the best places, probably even the best we stayed at. The owner & host Anabelle is so friendly, relaxed and beyond helpful no matter what you need. The rooms of Casa Bohö and the entire property are just phenomenal - lovely details done by Anabelle herself everywhere, beautifully furnished rooms, super clean bathroom area, equipped with everything you need (towels,…) and important extras for the carribean coast (mosquito net,…). Rooms have big window fronts right next to the bed where you enjoy a wonderful view inside the property’s garden which really much looks like a kind of a tiny little jungle, simply beautiful. Location 5-7 min walking distance to the beach (Salsa Brava, Playa Cocles) and to the ‘city’ centre of Puerto Viejo with a lot of shops, restaurants already on the way and inside the centre. Everything walking distance, super relaxed. Over all, absolutely wonderful. Enjoy!

This is a beautiful hotel with modern amenities; spacious, comfortable and well-appointed rooms; gorgeous lush landscaping and absolutely phenomenal staff! Our room faced the stunning garden and swimming pool and had a designated cabana AND another private sitting area just outside the room! From our cabana, we enjoyed watching wildlife that included beautiful birds, tiny geckos and other native species. We also enjoyed an amazing on-site couples-massage. I can't say enough about the staff who were extremely courteous, attentive and helpful! We enjoyed an amazing breakfast each morning, which was included -- fresh fruit and a choice of several entrees as well as vegetarian options. This hotel is definitely one of the loveliest in Puerto Viejo, away from the noise of the downtown area.

Location was ideal, right on a beautiful beach. The attention to details was so obvious. One of the few hotels of this type where your included breakfast was delivered to your room during your stay. The grounds of the hotel are stunning beautiful, complete with visits from local families of monkeys, sloths and toucan. The staff was really friendly and attentive to our every need. All of the above made for a wonderful stay and visit to the area.

We spent New Year’s Eve at the Lodge. It was wonderful and we all agreed, we will be back for a longer stay. The pics of the rooms are pretty close to the real thing! It gives you a treehouse feeling. A little piece of paradise. Dinner (extra charge) lasted from 7 - 10:30 pm. Then we went to the beach. A bonfire was lit, music in the background, a nice reflective way to enter the new year.

Wonderful property with lots of wild animals. The domes are really special and nicely decorated. We appreciated to have kimonos in the dome as well as books and local cleaning products. We had the beach for ourselves during most of the time. Breakfast was very good, too. There is a nice yoga shala with ocean view. Unfortunately, no yoga teacher was available during our stay.

This is the perfect location, right in the middle of Cocles Beach. You can see the waves from the 2nd floor and watch the expert surfers if the waves are rocking. It was right in front of the lifeguard stand and volleyball courts, there are several nice restaurants on either side.

Loved the entire area. Easy to walk around town.

Loved the entire area. Easy to walk around town. Best tour was an all day visit to Bribri family and chocolate making. Guide Braullio was the best for the wildlife refuge. Tasty Waves was the best bar with great trivia on Thursday night. Favorite beach was Playa Punta Uva. Great restaurants also in the area. Best place to stay with family or if you do not like the party atmosphere of other parts of Puerto Viejo.

Portuguese National Park is a wonder.

Portuguese National Park is a wonder. You can't get there by Car, there are no roads. Only by boat 1 hr up river or by plane. You are in the jungle with so many animals. I recommend staying in a lodge away from town, in the secondary forest area. Take a canal boat tour and enjoy the wild life. This is a must see in Costa Rica

This town was more quiet and while there were tourists it didn't feel over run with them. We were there at the end of the rainy season. Wish surfed. The hike in the park was well worth it, to blend town and nature. There is nothing fancy about the town but has a great vibe.

Only warm hearts and sincere smiles give one the feeling of friendship and every where i went was fun. I stopped at a small restaurant and the waitress being very young and pretty spoke no English which is fine but when looking at the menu i ask if she listed among the items. Only joking in a friendly manor A man who spoke English ask what i was saying and i told him at 82 most don't expect such language. He heard what i ask and went into laughter and smiles telling all what i said. They took it the way i meant it not like i was trying to be rude. The tables around me and those on the sidewalks stopped and laughed and it set the pace for smiles.

Our hotel, Arrecife Punta Uva, was right on the beach and very conveniently close to a restaurant. There were plenty of seating areas and hammocks provided, which made it easy to relax. One of the highlights was a beautiful viewpoint on a cliff about a 10-minute walk away—definitely worth the short hike. The food at the restaurant was also quite good.

We loved our beach cabin stay in Manzanillo!

We loved our beach cabin stay in Manzanillo! We ate meals on the front porch surrounded by the beautiful garden, listening to the rolling waves of the ocean. The beach is just across the street, and the nature reserve is a five minute walk away at the end of the street. There is also a good Caribbean restaurant at the other end of the street, also just a five minute walk from the cabin. Our host was very friendly and attentive. It’s a quiet, authentic beach town, and much less touristy than Puerto Viejo. We plan to stay there again.

Maybe I shouldn't tell you this to keep the place serene LOL

Maybe I shouldn't tell you this to keep the place serene LOL The Caribbean side of Costa Rica feels completely different from the Pacific coast. While the Pacific has become busy, built-up, and crowded with tourists, the Caribbean remains far more relaxed, natural, and authentic. Here you find quiet beaches, lush jungle, small locally owned restaurants, and a calm, easygoing vibe that hasn’t been overrun by tourism. It’s the perfect place for travelers who want beauty, culture, and nature without the noise, traffic, and commercial feel of the Pacific coast.

I absolutely loved Tortuguero and wish my spanish was better, however, it was easy to do everything with English--I was amazed at how well everyone spoke it! My favorite tour was the early morning canoe tour I booked with Green Tours. It was so peaceful and my guide, Brandon, was excellent! There are some really good restaurants/bars that are reasonably priced. Overall, it was a good time and I'm really happy with how everything turned out. I recommend booking a place to stay ahead of time, as well as the boat ride and return. Book tours once you get to the village. All the local companies are about the same price and a great value! I would 100% love to come back with friends or a partner someday. PURA VIDA!

Nice for snorkeling and hiking through the park. Not so touristic as Puerto Viejo, so a more realistic Carribean vibe. Snorkeling only allowed by tour, many fish but the coral wasn't very colorful
