Hotels near Playa Cocles, Puerto Viejo

Great hotel with a lovely pool area and abundance of wildlife. Also very comfortable rooms set in lovely gardens. Hotel staff very friendly and accommodating. Hotel is only a short distance from Puerto Viejo town and easy by tuktuk or bike.

Nice spacious room which was cleaned every day. Comfortable bed and good AC. Cold filtered water available. Lovely pool area with loungers, great place to spot hummingbirds. Staff always very nice and helpful. Located just a short walk away from the beach (~5-6 min.) and plenty of shops and restaurants.

From the hosts to the facilities: Everything is excellent! The cleanliness exceeds all expectations, the breakfast was perfect. I highly recommend it

The location is wonderful, across from a beautiful beach and in the trees with monkeys. It stormed twice while we were there so we enjoyed that. It’s quiet, clean and although shared accommodation is on site the volunteers are quiet.

All good, we will come back again.

Highlights: Calm and beautiful setting The most friendly and down to earth hosts Breakfast of the highest quality Tastefully decorated rooms Beautiful music in reception Sakura the resident dog Good parking Swimming pool Nearby access to great beaches Good restaurants nearby From the moment you arrive at Colina Secreto you are in a peaceful laid back setting. Greeted by Isabella and Sakura you can get the sense of pride these owners have for their forest retreat. The rooms are cleverly spaced on the hillside to offer each their own privacy. All rooms are styled on literary figures such as Verne, Hemingway and Kipling etc and you will find a selection of the authors books and related memorabilia which adds to the uniqueness and intrigue. The large deck outside each room offers a window to the surrounding jungle, a perfect place to sit any time of the day to enjoy the sights and sounds of the rainforest. Waking up to the sounds of the monkeys and having a late night open-air shower under the stars are selling points most hotels cannot claim! Breakfast here is worth the price of the room on its own. Laid out on antique furniture on the terrace you are treated to a selection of coffees, fresh fruit, homemade bread and sweet cakes, lemon water and a savoury hot dish that changes each morning. From the efficient yet unhurried service to the white linen napkins, every detail of breakfast is exquisite.
