エスカペ カリベーニョ(Escape Caribeño)

Please DO NOT GO to this hotel! -1. LACK of any modern comfort 2. UNPROFESSIONAL and CREEPY MANAGMENT. From the outside it is very charming, but when you walk in it looks like an unrefurbished cabin from the 1950's. There are 50's style Jalousie mini angled windows that don't seal and allows all the main street noises in, including bugs, and also 5 am bird noises, so sensitive sleepers beware! No Hospitality tray/coffee machine. And what he called a "othopedic" mattress that moves easily across the wooden frame when simply bumped, so my hips that sank to the bottom wooden frame. MOST IMPORTANTLY CREEPY!!! I felt his intentions were sincere in trying to "help" me but he ENTERED MY ROOM when I WASN'T THERE, took a picture of my personal items on the table and sent it to me?? (EMOJI SHOCKED!!) (Went for a walk and left my car keys)I was like RUNNING OUT OF THIS PLACE and then refused to refund my other days saying I had to go through my booker- which of course, they wouldn't do, but he could of EASILY refunded me and refused upon a nice letter. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A SINGLE GIRL---DO NOOOOOTTTT GO HERE!!!

Visited as part of a group . A lovely hotel well situated and with a brilliant swimming pool in a fabulous garden. The rooms are okay, fairly basic but comfortable but the shower needs a new nozzle and the towels were so thin. And disappointed there wasn’t even a kettle in the room

Our family stayed here for 4 days (my husband, our 2 yr old and 6yr old and my mom in her 80's). It was like living a dream being here. The staff are so kind and helpful. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and we were grateful for the air-conditioning,tv and refrigerator. These are the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on in Costa Rica. The gardens are so beautiful and amazing and we saw so many birds and animals all at the hotel (agouti, sloth and baby, iguana, little lizards everywhere). We loved all our meals at the restaurant. The pool is lovely and we spent some part of every day in it and there's a private beach access too. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone it's lovely. I have been here 3 different times in the past but this is the best hotel I have stayed at yet. Pura vida

Escape Carribeno Escape Caribeno is a delightfulsurprise, full of lush gardens, a lovely swimming pool, and spacious rooms. It’s mere steps away from the beach and ten minutes walking distance from the lively town of Puerto Viejo. We loved our stay there. The reception team was marvelous and answered all our questions.

Really nice place with comfortable large rooms, beautifully manicured grounds, excellent pool and abundant wildlife viewing opportunities on the grounds. We had a sloth with baby living just outside our unit and an Agoudi that enjoyed making the morning rounds. The staff were very friendly and the entire experience first rate.

Escape Caribeño is such a beautiful place! We saw sloths, a monkey and frogs on their property. Breakfast was tasty and the staff super helpful. Room was clean and the shower worked well. Would definitely stay again!

This is a quaint hotel with friendly front desk and restaurant staff. It is walking distance from the center of town where there are lots of restaurants and entertainment. One of the features of the hotel is the entrance to the beach; small; semi private section.

Me and my wife stayed for a couple nights this week and wow what an amazing experience. From check in to renting bikes from the front desk, the hotel restaurant, and getting advice and information from the front desk, everything was absolutely amazing. They were extremely accommodating and helpful, it being my first time in the country, I could not have asked for anything more. Also the beach view room was stunning. We also saw monkeys and sloths from our hammock on our front porch. Whenever I’m able to come back I could not even consider staying anywhere else!

The Hotel has two parts. The reception and rows of bungalows are on the right side of the road when coming from Puerto Viejo center. The road is VERY noisy and hence my recommendation is to ask for a bungalow beyond the reception and close to the pool. We stayed in a "sea view bungalow" on the opposite side of the road. You do not sea, but hear the sea as the bungalows are separated from the sea by a 50m stretch of mature trees and bushes. Large clean rooms, veranda with hammock with view on the garden, lawns and trees. Butterflies, hummingbirds, and monkeys (howler and spider) provide entertainment. One great advantage here is the footpath 10m from the sea that gets you into town (10min), the excellent bakery (5min) or to the cockles beach (20 min). So much nicer than walking beside the heavy traffic on the road. The downside of the "sea view bungalow" is the road and its traffic noise just 20m away.
