We stayed in a spacious and very clean twin room with air conditioning, ceiling fans, and a private veranda with a hammock, which was a lovely touch. The location is great — just a short walk to the main street and the beach — and the surroundings are very quiet. You might hear howler monkeys in the morning, which we found quite charming. The bathroom was a good size, but the shower head could use replacing as the water sprays in different directions. The shared kitchen was useful and had a fridge/freezer, kettle, coffee maker, microwave, and basic utensils — but no stove or cooker. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would consider coming back if the mattress is improved.

Clean, central place to stay, as long as you don’t stay in room 1, request rooms 3 and up

The staff once I arrived, were helpful, friendly, informative and responsive. The water pressure in the shower was great. The wifi was fast, when there wasn’t blackouts. Which never lasted more than a few minutes and is to be expected with the rain. It wasn’t anything. The staff worked with me to make a late checkin possible - and provided detailed instructions on how to access my room. The cleaning staff were consistent. The property itself was well maintained. I appreciated that there was filtered water available for guests and a place to store bikes as well.

Good stop off in Puerto Viejo

We booked while on the bus on our way to Puerto Viejo as it was recommended to us by a guide on a tour we had just been on. As it was a late booking, I don't think we got one of the best rooms. It was ok though and the location was good and the staff friendly enough. In the end we stayed for one night and found another hotel with a pool for the rest of our stay, but Cabinas Jacaranda was fine for somewhere to stay.

Simple rooms for a fair price

The hotel is very centrally located and for the price it's a fair deal. It has a small shared kitchen with a fridge where you can store your drinks and a few snacks, we didn't make use of it as we just stayed for a night but I think it's convenient. The garden around the rooms is super nice.

We had such a lovely time! Thankyou

We had one of the private spaces out the back and it was really sweet and had all we needed. Very spacious and private! Lots of day time balcony hangs! Loved the proximity to town also and all the plants and the cat!
