Casa Conley Del Mar

This hotel is a little gem tucked away in the jungle, but still close enough to the main road for easy access. Our room was clean and spacious, and the bathroom and shower were very good. The pool was refreshing and well maintained. Scott, the owner, is very helpful and friendly. You should have a car to get up the hill to the hotel, but we didn't have one and we managed. Our taxi drove us up when we arrived with our luggage, and we managed to walk up at the end of a day of touring. It's a short bus ride to Peurto Viejo and Cahuita, or you can hitch a ride from a passing vehicle. The beauty of the place is its peacefulness, especially after spending a day in the tourist spots. You will hear plenty of monkeys, and may see the sloths that regularly hang around near the pool area. Some toucans also flew by. The Chocolate Trail Museum is right across the road, and well worth a visit. The hotel does not currently offer breakfast, and there are no kitchen facilities in the room, so you'll have to eat meals elsewhere, or bring in portable food items which don't need refrigeration, which we did. There are some menus posted in the office for nearby restaurants which deliver to the hotel, and we had a couple of good meals delivered during our week long stay. We would certainly stay here again, and are grateful for Scott's kind assistance.

Tucked back in the mountainside but still has a breathtaking view of the ocean. This 12 room hotel is the perfect place to relax, unwind and truly feel as though you are in the middle of the rain forest. Our host Scott was wonderful and took care of everything we needed. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, the AC kept us cool on the warmer days and hanging out by and in the pool was one of our favorite things to do. We got to see a sloth in one of his trees, many many howler monkeys , toucans, hummingbirds, gorgeous butterflies and birds galore. Keep your camera ready at all times. He is conveniently located in between Cahuita and Puerto Viejo so heading to both places every day to shop, eat and drink a cerveza was very easy. We rented a car with Adobe in Puerto Viejo and it was a great experience, we highly recommend them if you need a rental car. You must also check out the waterfall in Bribri and Punta Uva beaches!. We’ll definitely be back!
