Exotico Beach & Rooms

In contrast to the poor review from November 2023, this place is an oasis. We selected the room we stayed in because it faced the pool and dining area, and it looked just as it did in the pictures. We paid about $180 per night. It was quaint, cozy, and clean and the cute "island" vibe of the room is just right and so well done. The roof is made of corrugated tin though so when it rained hard, it was loud...you could say it was part of the Caribbean experience. The staff was great and very friendly, food was good, and the area was quiet. We couldn't expect anymore than what we experienced. We would definitely stay at this hotel again if we ever go back.

We spent a long time considering where to stay, from Cahuita to Manzanillo and are so pleased that we choose here. The hotel is stunning, the decor is beautifully and the staff are exceptional. The beach is a couple of minutes walk away & the breakfast was also delicious with plenty of choice & lots of fresh fruit. We had four nights here and could have very easily stayed longer. A special mention to the 2 receptionist, David & Josef, they were both so friendly and helpful. We had a car and spent the first day visiting Cahuita National Park, the 2nd day we walked along the beach from the hotel, to Manzanillo National Park, Manzanillo is about a 15 minute walk along the beach. On our 3rd day we walked from the hotel to Cockles beach, this was stunning and allowed us to see other locations, we stopped along the way for a few swims and drinks and caught a tuk tuk back to the hotel. Highly recommend

This is Not a 5 star property. I checked into this place few hours ago, only to find out that my room is on the outskirts of the property. The pictures online show the rooms surrounding the main pool area. To get to my room, I had to leave the lobby area, walk down a gravel road with my bags and enter through a side gate made of wires! The room is nicely decorated, but not very well thought out. My patio faces a road and even with the bushes they planted, I can see the people walking right pass my room (which means they can see me too). The toilet does not have its own door, so there is no privacy as you use it. Not 5 star at all. l began hearing construction noises from right beside my room and across from my room. I hoped that the room doors were sound proof, but alas, they are not! The attendant promised that the noise would stop shortly. It has, 2 fours later, it was still on. The shower head in my room is more like a sprinkler for a garden. Water pressure is super low and there is just one setting. No hope of not wetting my hair, as the water sprouts haphazardly. I can’t imagine that someone actually tested this shower head before installing it. Finally, the closet is huge and spacious. No complaints there. However, there ate no hangers to hand my clothes up. Thank God I only booked 1 night. Not a happy camper.

Hotel is very nice and is in the middle of the wilderness, staff was great, food good, there should be sitting areas in the beach for more comfortable stays in the beach

This is an amazing boutique hotel. I would definitely come back to stay longer. I really loved how secluded the property is and how close it is in relationship to the national park. It’s also close but far enough from the hustle and bustle of nightlife in Puerto Viejo. The pool is fantastic and the rooms are wonderfully decorated and designed. All of the staff was really helpful and professional. I would highly recommend this place for anyone that likes the idea of being in the jungle with creature comforts of the city.

Sehr angenehmes schickes Hotel mit viel grün, liebevoll angelegt. Ruhig, daher abgelegen, 20 Min zu Fuß zum Dorf. Wasser for free, restliche Getränke ausschamt teuer

Hôtel facile d’accès et très confortable disposant de peu de chambre, donc plutôt confidentiel. Le restaurant est très correct pour dépanner si vous n’avez pas envie de sortir. Au milieu de la jungle, il n’est pas rare d’entendre des singes hurleurs et différentes espèces d’oiseaux. Pas loin de Playa grande qui est une plage magnifique avec des vagues pour surfer, très sauvage et peu fréquentée. Je recommande si on veut être tranquille.

El hotel es nuevo, ubicado en el bosque, muy cerca del mar. Muy tranquilo, se escuchan los animales. La zona de jardin y piscina es fantastica y el personal muy amable.

El sitio muy bien diseñado para ser agradable a la vista, el personal amigable, decorado con mucho gusto y cuidado. Las habitaciones no tienen privacidad con la pieza del inodoro. Se separa con únicamente con una pared incompleta de la recámara. Sí preguntan por alergias alimentarias y tienen buena disposición pero aún les falta capacitación en el tema. El hotel no está en el sitio que se indica en el mapa de la app Hotels ni donde aparece en las aplicaciones de navegación, los cual nos hizo perder horas hasta que alguien que supiera cuál hotel era nos pudiera decir dónde quedaba. Muy angustiante. Lo mismo con el número de teléfono incluido en el comprobante de la reservación. No correspondía y por lo tanto no nos podíamos comunicar con el hotel. Un verdadero desastre. Como no estaba ubicado donde se veía en la app no tenía la playa que esperábamos cerca sino la línea de tierra sin playa. Se acaba la tierra y hay una caída de un metro hasta la arena y las olas reventando. Revisamos en la tarde y la mañana sin cambio en las dimensiones de “la playa” por lo que hubo que ir a buscar una playa a otro lugar; lo cual no era lo esperado ya que la selección del hotel se dió por la presunta cercanía a la playa de Punta Uva, lo que resultó no ser así.
