“What stands out here is the way this resort weaves beachfront access with a true jungle feel; you can practically step from your room into a wildlife sanctuary, plus the location on Playa Cocles is ideal for surfing. The spa, emphasizing local organic ingredients, sets a tone of wellness, but some guests may find the standard rooms less impressive than the upgraded suites. For those seeking both relaxation and adventure in Puerto Viejo, this property presents a compelling option.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews

Cariblue Beach and Jungle Resort is often praised for its location immersed in lush jungle, where guests commonly spot sloths and other animals right on the grounds. The hotel is conveniently located across the street from Cocles Beach, placing it near restaurants and approximately a 5-minute ride from Puerto Viejo. Bungalows are considered spacious and comfortable, and some guests enjoyed the food at La Jungla restaurant. Some guests have, however, reported issues such as bugs in the rooms.

Immersed in Nature

jungle environmenttasty breakfastsliding glass door
I appreciated the jungle environment a lot. The wildlife around the hotel was amazing and the proximity to the beach made everything convenient. The bungalow was spacious and nice, with a fridge I relocated to plug it in. I loved the pool and the breakfast was tasty. I recommend covering your glasses with a saucer.
I had issues with the sliding glass door not locking. The front desk sent someone to fix the door. there was no one available to address the insects in our room. I found bugs on the walls and ceiling.
Rooms
9/10
My room included climate control with air conditioning and a ceiling fan for added comfort. I also had a big balcony with a hammock and seating. The wooden furniture created a stylish atmosphere.
Service
10/10
The staff was very friendly and always helpful. The hotel reception staff answered questions about tours and called taxis for us. There were several water dispensers throughout the grounds. This ensured we stayed hydrated.
