Puerto Viejo de Talamanca Hotels

Laid-back Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is known for its Afro-Caribbean culture, nearby surf beaches, and dense jungle backdrop. Yet as a party town, we've handpicked hotels for their more peaceful locations, from Playa Negra at its north to Playa Punta Uva to its south. For a taste of bohemian luxury, Hotel Aguas Claras is a kimkim Gem and team favorite set in Caribbean-style bungalows with an impressive pool and semi-private Playa Chiquita access. Up the coast a half mile and across from Playa Cocles is Le Cameleon Boutique Hotel, an upscale team favorite where you can choose a forested or beachside room that's also conveniently down the street from the Jaguar Rescue Center. If you're looking for a mid-range alternative, try Hotel Banana Azul, an adults-only, rustic choice that's just a minute's drive from Playa Negra and our closest option to Puerto Viejo.
