Villas del Caribe

Villas del Caribe, on the sand on the southern Caribbean

Villas del Caribe sits directly on the beach on the southern Caribbean coast, near Puerto Viejo, and every room looks out to the ocean. You walk out of your room onto the sand. It is one of our team's favourites for families, because the villas give everyone space and the sea is right there from breakfast to sunset.

Why we choose it

• Right on the beach. There is no road to cross: the hotel sits on the sand, and the Caribbean is in front of every room.
• An ocean view from every room. From the Standard rooms to the Family Villas, all of them face the sea, so nobody draws the short straw.
• Villas for families. The Family Villas and Junior Villas give a family room to spread out, with the beach as the playground.

Rooms and views

The Family Villas are the largest, made for parents and children traveling together, and the Junior Villas suit a couple or a small family who want more than a room. The Superior and Standard rooms are the simpler choice, and they too face the ocean.

Each room opens onto a balcony or terrace, which is where you will spend the early morning with a coffee and the last of the light in the evening. The style is relaxed and Caribbean, made for sandy feet.

On the property

The coral pool is in the garden between the rooms and the beach, a good place for children when the sea is rough. There is also a jacuzzi, and the restaurant looks out to the sea, serving Costa Rican and international dishes with coffee from morning on.

Days here move between the loungers, the hammocks and the water. When you want more, the southern Caribbean is easy to explore by bicycle, and we can arrange a canopy tour, a hike in Cahuita National Park, a boat trip to look for dolphins or a visit to the beaches toward Manzanillo.

Puerto Viejo itself is a laid back surf town with good small restaurants and a lively night, close enough for an evening out.

Location and getting there

Villas del Caribe is on the beach south of Puerto Viejo, on the coast road toward Manzanillo. It is a long drive from San José, so most of our clients come by private transfer or combine it with Tortuguero or the Arenal side of the country. See more about Puerto Viejo.
