100 meters from the beach Apartment in the jungle - Houses for Rent in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limón, Costa Rica

We absolutely loved this home—one of the best places I’ve stayed in Costa Rica. The location is perfect: close to everything, yet quiet, private, and peaceful. The house is very clean, comfortable, and has such a calm, relaxing feel. The birds visiting throughout the day were so special—just sitting and watching them was incredibly peaceful and made the stay feel unique. The host was amazing—so friendly, warm, and welcoming. Truly one of the best Airbnb hosts I’ve experienced. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Thanks Sapphire! was nice having you as my guests! Thanks you both, many blessings and positive vibrations.

Alexander is a lovely host: always a little touch that makes you happy! You have to meet him!! As for the accommodation, it was perfect. We could watch the birds in the morning on our terrace, walk (2 minutes) to Playa Negra to swim, and walk (3 minutes) to the city center to eat. In short, this place is perfect; we found it hard to leave. I highly recommend it!!

Alexander est un hôte adorable : toujours une petite attention qui fait plaisir ! Il faut le rencontrer !! Concernant le logement il était parfait, nous pouvions observer les oiseaux le matin sur notre terrasse, aller à pieds (2mn) à la Playa Negra pour se baigner et aller à pieds (3mn) au centre ville pour manger. Bref ce logement est parfait, nous avons eu du mal à partir. Je recommande vivement !!

Thank you so much for your kind words and thank you for your tolerance regarding the noise from the music during the Holy Week activities... SEMANA SANTA "disco club" LOL hope next year people go pray and not too much party.

Very good stay, very welcoming. Thank you, Alexander.

Très bon séjour, très chaleureux. Merci Alexander

We had a really great stay with Alexander! He was incredibly friendly, helpful and always available. From the very beginning, we felt welcome and in very good hands. The place itself was very clean, cozy, and lovingly furnished – you can tell that a lot of attention is paid to detail here. The surrounding area was particularly impressive: You could observe lots of birds right on the property and even spot other animals, which made the stay extra special. We would come back any time and wholeheartedly recommend Alexander's place! 🌿🦜

Wir hatten einen wirklich tollen Aufenthalt bei Alexander! Er war unglaublich freundlich, hilfsbereit und jederzeit erreichbar. Man hat sich von Anfang an willkommen und sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Die Unterkunft selbst war sehr sauber, gemütlich und liebevoll eingerichtet – man merkt, dass hier viel Wert auf Details gelegt wird. Besonders beeindruckend war die Umgebung: Man konnte direkt vor Ort viele Vögel beobachten und sogar andere Tiere entdecken, was den Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht hat. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können Alexanders Unterkunft von Herzen weiterempfehlen! 🌿🦜

Alexander’s place is tastefully decorated with lots of little touches that make you feel comfortable and create a cozy atmosphere... but my favorite spot was, of course, the terrace – a magical place to have lunch, enjoy a nice cocktail, or just relax in the company of the birds and the forest’s inhabitants! A haven of peace and tranquility.

Le logement d'Alexander est décoré avec soin et avec beaucoup de petites attentions qui vous font vous sentir bien et qui en font un lieu chaleureux...mais ma pièce préférée a été bien sûr la terrasse un lieu magique pour déjeuner, déguster un bon cocktail ou tout simplement se détendre en compagnie des oiseaux et des habitants de la forêt !;compagcolomulfarniente

Very nice place to stay. It was wonderful to be able to have breakfast on the terrace, with the birds, in a super cozy setting. The location is also excellent, close to the beach and the center. You can walk home safely in the evening. Alexander is a very gracious host and offers good advice.

Très beau logement. C'était merveilleux de pouvoir prendre le petit déjeuner sur la terrasse, avec les oiseaux, dans un endroit super cosy. L'emplacement est également excellent, proche de la plage et du centre. On peut rentrer à pied le soir en toute sécurité. Alexander est un hôte très aimable et de bon conseil.

Very nice place to stay. Fresh coconut and bird watching at breakfast - fantastic. Air conditioning was not really necessary in March, the house is built so that it cools down halfway at night. Puerte viejo is within walking distance, to the beach (cocles) better by car.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Frische Kokusnuss und Vögelbeobachten beim Frühstück - traumhaft. Klimaanlage war im März eigentlich nicht unbedingt nötig, das Haus ist so gebaut das es nachts halbwegs abkühlt. Puerte viejo fussläufig erreichbar, zum Strand (cocles) besser mit dem Auto.

Alexander was very welcoming and he has created a nice little oasis just a short walk from town and nature around you. I can very much recommend to stay with Alexander. My boyfriend and I felt at home right away.

Every positive thing in the reviews is true. No reason to repeat them all. Alexander is a good human and his place is beautiful. My best Airbnb experience.

Thanks Adam 😊 you and Carla were very nice guests! Thanks for sharing with us. OneLove.

Alex was a welcoming and responsive host. Felt safe there during our 9 day stay. Close to town. The apartment is as described. Small and comfortable. Note that there’s no air conditioning.

Note that you didn't booked with A/C. Thanks for your stay Heather!

Loved our stay, we would definitely come again. We spotted a lot of birds and Monkeys from the Appartement :)

We enjoyed our stay even though it was short. The apartment was cozy and the area very quiet. Thank you Alex for the wonderful drinks, coffee on our last morning and for being a gracious and attentive host.

A spectacular, beautiful, quiet place, super close to all the beaches, restaurant and shops, we didn't even have to use the car, the apartment is amazing, comfortable, super quiet and the surroundings are very pleasant. Alex is speechless, a super friendly, respectful, and very attentive host, when we arrived he gave us beer at dawn, he gave us cold pipe and coffee, we are very grateful with him, I definitely recommend him 100%.

Un lugar espectacular,hermoso,tranquilo,super cerca de todas las playas, restaurante y tie das,ni tuvimos que usar el carro,el apartamento increíble, cómodo,super tranquilo y el entorno muy agradable de Alex sin palabras un anfrition super amigable,respetuoso,y muy atento,al llegar nos brindó cerveza al amanecer nos brindó pipa fría y café,estamos muy agradecidos con el mi estoy yo, definitivamente lo recomiendo 100%.

The place was perfect for the start of our vacation in Costa Rica. In the immediate vicinity of Playa Negra. Due to technical issues with our internet, we were unable to communicate with Alex regarding our arrival time. Sweaty and late, we arrived late afternoon and were warmly welcomed. After we moved into our accommodation, we were greeted with fresh coconuts. Wonderful! The communication with Alex was very easy, uncomplicated and always very friendly. The place corresponded to the description and thus also our expectations. The location is really awesome. You can hear the sound of the sea but also the sounds of the jungle. Pura Vida!

Die Unterkunft war perfekt für den Start in unseren Urlaub in Costa Rica. In unmittelbarer Nähe zur Playa Negra. Aufgrund technischer Probleme mit unserem Internet konnten wir mit Alex nicht kommunizieren bezüglich unserer Ankunftszeit. Verschwitzt und verspätet kamen wir späten Nachmittag an und wurden herzlich empfangen. Nachdem wir unsere Unterkunft bezogen haben, wurden wir mit frischen Kokosnüssen begrüßt. Herrlich! Die Kommunikation mit Alex war sehr einfach, unkompliziert und immer sehr freundlich. Die Unterkunft entsprach der Beschreibung und damit auch unseren Erwartungen. Die Lage ist wirklich genial. Man hört das Rauschen des Meeres aber auch die Geräusche des Dschungels. Pura Vida!

¡Thanks you Britta and Kevin for staying with Us! Pura Vida. 💯

The place is impeccable with everything you need, every detail is very well cared for, the decoration, the kitchen items, the bed and the balcony!!!! Alexander was always attentive and very friendly and served us some spectacular drinks.  It is very close to downtown Puerto Viejo, where there are many restaurants and supermarkets, and 100 meters from Playa Negra and about 300 meters from Puerto Viejo beach. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!

El.lugar impecable con todo lo necesario, cada detalle muy cuidado, la decoración, los elementos de cocina, la cama y el balcón!!!! Alexander siempre atento y muy cordial y nos sirvió unos tragos espectaculares.  Esta muy cerca del centro de Puerto Viejo, donde hay muchos restaurantes y supermercados, y a 100 metros de playa negra y unos 300 metros de la playa de Puerto Viejo. Muy recomendable!!!!!!!!

¡Gracias Che!  Muchas bendiciones para ti y tu hijo.

Alexander goes above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and special. They place was perfect for my husband and I and amazing host!

A very nice and quiet stay, very clean, equipped, and cozy apartment. Alexander was very friendly. It was worth it

una estadía muy bonita y tranquila,apartamento muy limpio, equipado, y acogedor. Totalmente amable Alexander. Valio la pena

Alexander's place is highly recommended for a stay in Puerto Viejo. The city is within walking distance - with many great restaurants. Along the main road you can reach all the sights of Puerto Viejo within 10-30 minutes driving time :) Thank you for the delicious coconuts 🥥🌴

Die Unterkunft von Alexander ist für einen Aufenthalt in Puerto Viejo sehr zu empfehlen. Die Stadt ist fussläufig zu erreichen - mit vielen tollen Restaurants. Entlang der Hauptstraße erreicht man innerhalb von 10-30 min Fahrtzeit alle Sehenswürdigkeiten Puerto Viejos :) Vielen Dank für die leckeren Kokosnüsse 🥥🌴

A fresh coconut is so refreshing on a hot day! Many thanks favor your stay Nicole.

We stayed there for 2 nights. And it was heavenly. We were personally welcomed, received a welcome beer from Alexander and had a very nice conversation. He has the apartment directly under the apartment, but you always had complete privacy. The apartment was super nice, rustic, heavenly in the green and quiet. And yet Puerto Viejo is within walking distance (5 min) and the beautiful Playa Negra is even closer. It rained a lot with us, but we did not let the Caribbean feeling go. And even in heavy rain, the accommodation is a dream. Sit outside on the terrace or lie there in the hammock and just enjoy! PURA VIDA! You can hear the wildlife, and the surf and during the day cars from the street. We felt super comfortable and highly recommend this place. Facts: - Warm shower - Mosquito screens - Curtains (not really dark) - Wi-Fi was great - Outstanding hosts!

Wir waren für 2 Nächte dort. Und es war paradiesisch. Wir sind persönlich empfangen worden, haben von Alexander noch ein Willkommenes-Bier bekommen und uns sehr nett unterhalten. Er hat die Wohnung direkt unter dem Apartment, dennoch hatte man immer absolute Privatsphäre. Das Appartement war super schön, rustikal, paradiesisch im grünen und ruhig. Und dennoch ist Puerto Viejo direkt zu Fuß zu erreichen (5 min) und der wunderschöne Playa Negra ist noch näher. Bei uns hat es zwar viel geregnet, aber wir haben uns das Karibik-Feeling nicht nehmen lassen. Und auch bei Starkregen, ist die Unterkunft ein Traum. Draußen auf der Terrasse sitzen oder dort in der Hängematte liegen und einfach genießen! PURA VIDA! Man hört die Tierwelt, und die Brandung und tagsüber Autos von der Straße. Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt und empfehlen diese Unterkunft ganz klar weiter. Facts: - Warme Dusche - Mückengitter - Vorhänge (nicht wirklich dunkel) - wlan war super - Herausragende Gastgeber!

I recommend staying here if you like nature and calm (waking up to ocean sounds!) but still want to be close to the vibrant center of town. From the spacious terrace I saw all kinds of animals - even monkeys - when chilling in the hammock. Everything is super clean and you can tell Alexander has put thought and love in this place on all the small details, the little art, the soaps and tea bags provided. He is also a very serene and kind person and a pleasure to communicate with. Nice bonus: the house is shielded from the street with a beautiful blue wooden gate so you can easily park your bikes inside so they are safe! The place also had some very strong ventilators so you can enjoy a cooling breeze inside and outside, no airco was needed at all even it can get hot in the day it always cooled and ventilated easily in the night. Already miss this peaceful place. Pura vida 🌸

Thanks Laura! Hope your dreams come true, was very nice having you as my guest . Pura vida 🇧🇪

We traveled from the Pacific to experience the Caribbean. The accommodation was the first step to that. A cool, rustic cabin surrounded by nature and fully equipped to feel at home even so far away. Its location is amazing! Thanks to that we were able to get to know most of the incredible corners of the Caribbean and even walk to some of them. We can't forget Alexander's incredible service. Who took care of us from day one, covering all our needs without any problems. I hope everyone can have their first Caribbean experience starting with this place. Thank you Alex for the delicious sunflower seeds and for giving me a little piece of your special place! We're definitely going back :)

Viajamos desde el pacífico para vivir una experiencia Caribeña. El alojamiento fue el primer paso a eso. Una cabaña fresca, rústica, rodeada de naturaleza y totalmente equipada para aún tan lejos sentirnos como en casa. Su ubicación es increíble! Gracias a eso pudimos conocer la mayoría de los increíbles rincones del Caribe e incluso ir a pie a algunos de ellos. No dejamos de lado la increíble atención de Alexander. Quien nos atendió desde el día uno cubriendo sin peros todas nuestras necesidades. Ojalá todos puedan vivir por primera vez su experiencia Caribeña empezando por este lugar. Gracias Alex por las Pipas deliciosas y por regalarme un pedacito de tu lugar tan especial! Sin duda vamos a volver :)

Was veey nice meeting you! Thanks a lot for your stay and I am very happy that you had a great time in Puerto Viejo. Muchas gracias y muchas bendiciones! Pura Vida Jimena. OneLove.

We've been traveling through Panama and Costa Rica for over two months now. This was by far the best accommodation. Close to the beach, close to the supermarket, and a huge terrace for a lovely morning. Alex was very friendly and helpful. He also gave us coconuts and drinks. We really had a wonderful time and would come back anytime.

Thanks Nico! Was nice to have you as guest. Pura Vida Alemania 🍺

Really good airbnb with everything you will need in Puerto Viejo.

Nice place with a good location and very clean.

Lindo lugar con buena ubicación y muy limpio.

Muchas gracias Denis! Espero hayas disfrutado de Puerto Viejo.

Great place to stay! I really enjoyed it, close to the beach and downtown. Clean and peacefu. Very responsive owner. Thank you!

Muchas gracias Vicky! Muchas bendiciones.

Alex was a great host! The location of the Airbnb is very close to Puerto Viejo. It's about a 5-10 minute walk to downtown Puerto Viejo which has access to amazing restaurants, clubs, and local transportation (tuk tuk's) that can take you to various beaches around the area such as Playa Cocles, Playa Chiquita, Punta Uva & Manzanillo. You can sleep while hearing the waves from Playa Negra. The location felt safe, the host was very friendly and the room quite self contained. Highly recommended.

The accommodation is located in a quiet and very pleasant area, perfect for resting with peace of mind. The apartment is spacious, comfortable and impeccably clean. It's only a short walk to downtown and the beaches, which is great for enjoying your days and going back to sleep quietly. Alexander is an attentive host and always responsive when needed, making the stay even more enjoyable. Enchanting little bonus: Every morning, you'll be lulled by the birds chirping nearby. And if you love animals, you'll probably have a chance to see a few in the garden or from your terrace. A beautiful parenthesis of nature and sweetness.

Le logement est situé dans un quartier calme et très agréable, parfait pour se reposer en toute sérénité. L’appartement est spacieux, confortable et impeccablement propre. Il se trouve à seulement quelques minutes à pied du centre-ville et des plages, ce qui est idéal pour profiter de vos journées et rentrer dormir au calme. Alexander est un hôte attentif et toujours réactif en cas de besoin, ce qui rend le séjour encore plus agréable. Petit bonus enchanteur : chaque matin, vous serez bercé par le chant des oiseaux qui peuplent les alentours. Et si vous aimez les animaux, vous aurez sans doute la chance d’en croiser quelques-uns dans le jardin ou depuis votre terrasse. Une belle parenthèse de nature et de douceur.

Many thanks for stay with Us! I am very happy that you had a good time in Puerto Viejo and that you enjoyed the nature around. I think it is a nice place people that enjoy birds 🐦 watching . Muchas gracias!🤗

Alexander did a Beautiful job with his Airb&b We stayed outside on the porch most of the time enjoying the sounds of the birds and watching them eat from the fresh fruit Alexander put out for them every morning! The plants he had planted there were Beautiful also! The walk was only a short distance from the city and I never felt unsafe the whole time we were there . inside the house was quite simple but we were at the beach or exploring most of the days so we really couldn’t ask for anything more. Alexander ask us often if we needed anything and tried to make us feel welcomed. 🥰

Muchas gracias y los mejores deseos para ambos.

Beautiful place, tranquil, surrounded by nature, 5min walk to the city center. Alexander is very friendly and helpful. Keep in mind, this is a very quiet place so you have to keep the volume down.

Muchas gracias David! You were a very quiet and respectful guest. PURA VIDA.

We had very nice days in Puerto Viejo and in Alexander's place. It was quiet and very well located. Alexander also rented us two of his  bikes, which we can only recommend. All in all, a very nice stay. Only a little more cutlery would have been nice. :)

Wir hatten sehr schöne Tage in Puerto Viejo und in der Unterkunft von Alexander. Es war ruhig und sehr gut gelegen. Alexander hat uns außerdem zwei seiner  Fahrräder vermietet, was wir auch nur empfehlen können. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Lediglich ein wenig mehr Besteck wäre schön gewesen. :)

Thanks for review and I Will keep your advise in mind.  All the best Caterina!

Alex was a great host. There was water and coconuts in our fridge upon arrival and he offered us more coconuts during our stay. He was friendly and understood when we accidentally made too much noise when the door would slam with the wind or because there was a bat in our room (which was resolved quickly). The bathroom flooded and he fixed it promptly. The place itself is truly a Caribbean house right next to the black beach and short walk to all the stores in PV. Overall highly recommend Just be sure to read his info as it is quite hours at 9pm which may be too early for some! Thanks Alex!

Gracias Alexa! Prefiero personas mas acorde a mi perfil... tranquilos y con ganas de disfrutar de la naturaleza pero igual todos son bienvenidos y tratados con mucho respeto! Siempre les agradezco elegirme para vistar Puerto Viejo.

Had an amazing stay here! Really spacious, private and super close to the town.  Alexander was a great host, so friendly and helpful!

Quiet, secluded and very nice place. In the morning you are woken up by birds, there are some incredible number of them here. The apartment is big, yet cosy. Thank you Alexander, we really enjoyed our stay!

Тихое, уединённое и очень приятное место. По утрам тебя будят птицы, их здесь какое-то невероятное количество. Квартира большая, но уютная. Спасибо Александру, нам всё очень понравилось!

I had a lovely, peaceful stay at Alexander’s place. The location is perfect and the room has everything you need. Alexander is also a very helpful host 🙏🏽

Alexander's place was a gem to experience. This was my first time in Costa Rica and he was a class act in easing into this beautiful environment. His place was a marvel, straight out of a vivid film, and was clean, spotless. We were welcomed with refreshments and very interesting conversation, proof that there is still class and hospitality in this world and truly made my first experience here a memorable one. If you are fortunate enough to lodge with Alexander, prepare to have your expectations met and then some. This was an amazing experience.

Thanks Tremelo and Christine for letting me be your Host!  Muchas gracias, Pura Vida y los mejores deseos para ambos.

Great location, close to downtown but quiet and very close to the beach. Loved our stay! Thanks Alexander.

super emplacement, près du centre-ville mais tranquille et tout près de la plage. nous avons adoré notre séjour! merci Alexander

A sanctuary within walking distance of a very busy and noisy (especially on weekends)  touristy town.  Mornings were  filled with the sounds of howler monkeys traveling through the jungle and birdsong from the small surrounding garden.  Alex and Yanni love nature and welcome birds and nature to their little garden which surrounds the accommodation.  The host was  happy to share his knowledge with love & respect for the birds and other creatures in the area.  Lots of good advice and insight into how and what to avoid for safety.  As a single solo female traveler, I felt safe here.  I appreciated sipping the abundant fresh coconuts, smoothies and coffee that were generously provided.  Nice to have a shaded hammock to relax in when the temperature and humidity soared!

Many thanks for your visit Gail, I wish you the best!

we had a very nice time with our host Alexander, the apartment looks as described in the photos. A real recommendation!

wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit bei unserem Gastgeber Alexander, die Wohnung sieht aus wie auf den Fotos beschrieben. Eine echte Empfehlung!

What a great place to stay. I saw monkeys and Capybaras all while being 200 ft from the beach. You can sit in a hammock outside listening to the ocean waves break.

An excellent place, beautiful, clean and with everything you need to spend the pleasant days. Alexander is very attentive and an incredible host. Nos offer pineapple frescos which were delicious. This place deserves more than 5 stars. If you are available please do not hesitate to set it aside.

Un lugar excelente, hermoso, limpio y con todo lo necesario para pasar los dias agradables. Alexander es muy atento y un increible host. Nos ofrecio frescos de piña que estaban deliciosos. Este lugar merece mas de 5 estrellas. Si lo ves disponible no dudes en apartarlo.

Muchísimas gracias por tu estadía! Muchas bendiciones para ti y tu Señora Madre. Gracias!

Very nice hosts and a very nice place! Highly recommended!

Sehr nette Gastgeber und eine sehr schöne Unterkunft! Sehr zu empfehlen!

Very well located accommodation is really the strong point in relation to the beach as well as the city . Accommodation with a beautiful terrace but the bedroom /kitchen is very hot despite the 2 fans. We kept one by the bed every night . The kitchen is minimalist so if you like to cook it's complicated. We saw Alexander when we arrived then we communicated via messages .

Logement très bien situé c’est vraiment le point fort par rapport à la plage ainsi qu’à la ville . Logement avec une belle terrasse mais la chambre /cuisine est très chaude malgré les 2 ventilateurs. Nous en conservions un près du lit toutes les nuits . La cuisine est minimaliste donc si vous aimez cuisiner c’est compliqué. Nous avons vu Alexander à notre arrivée ensuite nous avons communiqué par messages .

I had a wonderful stay here. I came to puerto viejo for a month-long escape and it was great. As woman traveling alone and working remotely, my main concerns were safety, privacy and a strong WiFi connection- this place had all three. Not to mention the perfect location near beautiful playa negra and within walking distance of town. I recommend staying here!

Very nice and quiet place to stay for a few days. You can hear the howler monkeys and see many birds and lizards from the balcony. It is very basic but very cozy and great that the bed has a mosquito net. You can quickly walk to Playa Negra and also in a few minutes to Puerto Viejo in the center. Alexander was always nice and helpful.

Sehr schöner und ruhiger Ort um ein paar Tage zu bleiben. Man hört die Brüllaffen und sieht vom Balkon aus viele Vögel und Eidechsen. Es ist sehr einfach, aber sehr gemütlich und super, dass das Bett ein Moskitonetz hat. Man ist schnell zu Fuss beim Playa Negra und auch in wenigen Minuten in Puerto Viejo im Zentrum. Alexander war immer nett und hilfsbereit.

very nice cozy bed, comfortable very nice shower with a good amount of water coming out. kitchen had utensils and cooking items.

Beautiful place to unplug. Designed with a lot of love for detail. The bed is very comfortable. Alex is a great host. There was delicious coffee and banana shakes from him. From the terrace you can see many different birds, butterflies and lizards. Puerte Viejo as well as the beach are within minutes walking distance. Very good value for money.

Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft zum abschalten. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Das Bett ist sehr bequem. Alex ist ein super Gastgeber. Es gab leckeren Kaffee und Bananenshakes von ihm. Von der Terasse aus lassen sich viele verschiedene Vögel, Schmetterlinge und Echsen beobachten. Puerte Viejo sowie der Strand ist in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar. Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Vielen Dank euch beiden für euren Aufenthalt!

Walking distance to the beach and town centre with a lovely wooden patio. The kitchen could do with an upgrade, otherwise it's great for a night or two.

Many thanks for your stay Mark. All the Best!

very polite, coffee in the morning and fresh fucked juice were great. He was a very good host. We felt at home. Thank you so much....

cok kibardi, sabahlari kahve ikrami ve taze sikilmis meyve suyu harikaydi. cok iyi bir ev sahibiydi. kendimizi evimizde hissettik. cok tesekkurler....

Great stay! Walking distance from to the beach, the town, and the bus stop! We highly recommend!

We stayed at Alex's place for three nights and we enjoyed it so much! We would have loved to stay longer. The location is great and it is very cozy. We highly recommend Alex's place! He is super friendly and helpful!

Wir waren für drei Nächte in Alex Unterkunft und es hat uns so gut gefallen! Wir wären am liebsten noch länger geblieben. Die Lage ist toll und es ist sehr gemütlich. Wir können Alex Unterkunft sehr empfehlen! Er ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit!

We we’re absolutely thrilled with Alex’s place! Such a beautiful, well-equipped beach cabana in the perfect location (all local beaches, shops and restaurants a very short walk away). We spent a lot of time relaxing at the property during our stay it was so homely and had a lovely spacious open balcony! Alex was super welcoming and friendly, we hope to come back soon!

Alex place work out perfect for us. It was worth the money.

Hello John thanks for your visit to Puerto viejo I'm glad you had enjoyed your stayed at my place. Pura vida!

A very nice and safe place, we like it very much

Un lugar muy agradable y seguro nos gusto mucho

I really enjoyed staying at Alex's place. It's a top floor studio with a big patio in a big traditional house just outside the center of Puerto Viejo; one of those places that immediately invite you to slow down and enjoy yourself. Also, Alex is a very relatable and kind host :)

Very comfortable, everything clean, better than the pictures. Alexander was very attentive and answered my messages very quickly. The place is 5 minutes away from the center of the activity, no lanes for walking, you can only go next to the road, it is the only detail that is not so good, but that escapes the hosts. I recommend this place, very comfortable, clean, pleasant stay

Muy cómodo, todo limpio, mejor que en las fotos. Alexander fue muy atento y respondió mis mensajes muy rápido. El alojamiento está a 5 minutos del centro de la actividad, no hay veredas para caminar, solo puedes ir al lado del camino, es el único detalle que no es tan bueno, pero eso escapa a los anfitriones. Recomiendo este alojamiento, muy cómodo, limpio, estadía agradable

Alexander is a great host. He was very welcoming, has a lot of knowledge about nature and all of the animals that are around. When we arrived we told him we hadn't seen a sloth yet. And in 2 minutes time, he walked across the street, and showed us our first sloth. Also explained to us in which kind of tree we could find sloths or tucans. The balcony is amazing for bird or hummingbird watching. They will appear right in front of you. Howlers are also easy to spot in the trees across the street. And even saw a tucan on our last day. Everyday Alex always asks how we are and if we need anything and sometimes in the afternoon he would make us drinks (fruit punch, banana shake or cuba libre). Alex is a very kind man! The room was perfect for us and remote. We could also borrow his bikes, this made our stay so much better. 10 out of 10! Pura vida

Thank you BO! I was happy to share my little knowledge with you... You were so excited about nature that you were contagious.... The wild life was waiting to share with you. Thanks for enjoying mother nature. ONE LOVE!

We felt very comfortable at Alexander's place, the location of the accommodation is perfect, you can be in the center of Puerto Viejo and on the beaches in just a few minutes. Nevertheless, the accommodation is very quiet and you can relax wonderfully on the spacious terrace.  The property itself is very well-equipped and decorated with many loving details. Alexander was very friendly and helpful. When our shuttle arrived three hours before check-in, Alexander welcomed us with a delicious drink and we were already allowed to check in. We had a nice time at Casa Caribe and would be happy to come back.

Wir haben uns in der Unterkunft von Alexander sehr wohl gefühl, die Lage der Unterkunft ist perfekt, man ist in nur wenigen Minuten im Zentrum von Puerto Viejo und an den Stränden. Trotzdem ist die Unterkunft sehr ruhig gelegen und man kann auf der geräumigen Terrasse wunderbar entspannen.  Die Unterkunft selbst ist sehr gut ausgestattet und mit vielen liebevollen Details eingerichtet. Alexander war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Als unser Shuttle schon drei Stunden vor Check-in ankam hat Alexander uns mit einem leckeren Drink empfangen und wir durften schon einchecken. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in der Casa Caribe und kommen gerne wieder.

Alexander was an exceptional host who lives the PV vibe.  ¡Pura Vida!

We had a great two night stay! super close to the beach and in the middle of a lot of wildlife. The amounts of different birds around the Airbnb are just amazing! Check in was great with a fresh juice cocktail! would definitely stay there again!

One of my all time favourite Airbnb stays. First of all the pics do not do the place justice. It is perfect, everything you need to cook, make salads, bring as much fruit (like I did), big double bed with a mosquito which works a dream. Its 100 metres away from the most incredible black sand beach i’ve ever seen. Alexanders hospitality and soul is unmatched. I felt settled, welcomed and loved the moment I step through the gates. Easy check in, extremely responsive. 5 days felt like 5 minutes. Couldn’t recommend Alexanders as a host and his apartment anymore than I am. Thank you.

Muchas gracias Addis! Was nice meeting you. 🌴🌅🌴🌴So happy you loved the black sands beach 🏝️🌄🏖

Alex was a great host with a beautiful place in a great location. Just a 2 minute walk to Playa Negra in a peaceful area. We were able to easily walk into Puerto Viejo in just 6 minutes. We were tucked off the main road, so you couldn't hear the traffic. The place was immaculately and impressively clean, even for being a "beach" house that is somewhat open. Alex was thoughtful and kind. He heard us leaving before sunrise and rushed to make sure we knew were to go to see a good sunrise. The space is an open studio style with a kitchen (no oven), fridge, microwave and basic kitchen needs. The shower had great hot water and pressure. There is no AC, but two fans that were provided kept us mostly comfortable. The large second level porch is where we ate and relaxed between outings. The house does have multiple units, so you be able to hear others from the units below. Alex keeps the place peaceful with quiet hours, which we were almost always in bed by 9pm.

Thanks for your stay and Many thanks for respecting the house rules ... that is so important for a peaceful environment... Must people are trapped in technology... So a little DIGITAL DETOX Is not much to ask so we can rest on enjoy real nature beauty next day. Muchas gracias y hasta pronto!

Very nice apartment on the floor of Alexander's house, close to the beach, close to the village, nice terrace and well-equipped. I would recommend it.

Très bel appartement à l'étage de la maison d'Alexander, proche de la plage, proche du village, jolie terrasse et bien équipé. Je recommande

The accommodation has a good location, close to downtown Puerto Viejo, Alexander is very friendly, and responds quickly when he makes some inquiries about hosting. Would come back 🌴☀️

A very cute place close to beach and mountain… with lots of options to be close to nature and the attention of Alexander and Yani very friendly and respectful.  A spectacular place where you can also rest to have peace and quiet. A place with all the comforts…

Un lugar muy lindo cerca de la playa y la montaña… con muchas opciones para estar cerca de la naturaleza y la atención de Alexander y Yani muy amable y respetuosa.  Un lugar espectacular en el que se puede ademas descansar tener paz y tranquilidad. Un lugar con todas las comodidades…

Muchas gracias Silva! Me alegra mucho que hayas podido descansar y desconectarte del ruido del l cuidad! Muchas bendiciones y esperemos verte nuevamente.

We had a great stay at Alexander’s place. The place is beautiful, clean, comfortable and very peaceful. It is close to downtown (5min walk) and to the beach. Communication with Alexander was easy and instructions were very clear. He was very nice and welcoming. We recommend this place and would love to come back someday! Pura Vida!

Thanks Laura! Was very nice having you as my guest. Wish you all the best and hope to receive you again. Pura Vida!

ONE LOVE! Muchas gracias Jimmy buena nota.

The place is a beautiful cabin type apartment made of wood with all the amenities and thoughtfully decorated. The spacious covered balcony is a place where one can spend relaxed time enjoying the nature that is around. Having breakfast there makes you start your day on the right foot. But the best part is Alex and Yani's warmth: they are true hosts who, while still respecting the privacy of the traveler, are always attentive to adding a human factor that cannot be measured in money. Real hosts who are not easily found: I would like to put them 6⭐ but you can't. Thank you for all, they undoubtedly gave us a lot more than what we paid. 🤝

El lugar es un hermoso apartamento tipo cabaña hecho de madera con todas las comodidades y decorado con esmero. El amplio balcón techado es un lugar en donde uno puede pasar el tiempo relajado disfrutando de la naturaleza que hay alrededor. Tomar el desayuno allí hace que empieces el día con el pie derecho. Pero lo mejor de todo es la calidez de Alex y Yani: son verdaderos anfitriones que, sin dejar de respetar la intimidad del viajero, están siempre atentos a sumar un factor humano que no se puede medir en dinero. Verdaderos anfitriones que no se encuentran fácilmente: quisiera ponerles 6⭐ pero no se puede. Gracias por todo: sin dudas nos dieron mucho más de lo que pagamos. 🤝

Alex and Yani are incredible hosts, and just wonderful people in general! They are extremely kind and made our stay very comfortable, giving us tips for our trip and often offering us fresh fruit from their farm. On top of this, the space is beautiful and clean. We always felt safe and very at peace. Highly recommend. We hope to come back again someday. Pura Vida!

Thanks Laura! For sure you are allways welcome and thanks for being a very friendly and respectful guest. Many Blessings. PURA VIDA 🌴

would come again, special attention! Very attentive

volvería de nuevo, especial atención! Muy atento

The location is great, close to downtown and affordable. The accommodation is equipped with everything you need and communication with Alexander was easy and kind. The only thing that is not clear about the listing is the parking, as it is not inside the same property but in front. Luckily it's not over main street, but it's important to clarify.

La ubicación está muy bien, cerca del centro y a un precio accesible. El hospedaje se encuentra equipado con lo necesario y la comunicación con Alexander fue fácil y amable. El único aspecto que no está claro en el anuncio es el parqueo, pues no queda dentro de la misma propiedad sino al frente. Afortunadamente no es sobre calle principal, pero es algo importante de aclarar.

Great place, recommended! Close to beach very cozy!

Gracias Gonzalo, espero que tu viaje a Ecuador sea agradable, fue un gusto recibirlo en casa, saludos!

Alexander was great, and the place was fantastic. I couldn't stay there because I needed to be closer to my clients, who were staying as a group, elsewhere, but he refunded me immediately and was very responsive. I took a look at the place after that, and it is at least as beautiful as its description. I will definitely stay there in the future!

Good location, everything was great. Amazing hospitality!

we loved it at alex place! it was awesome and so beautiful. you will be in the city of puerto viejo in 5 minute (walking distance) alex is also awesome! i made us an we come drink and gave us a lot of good tips for our trip. we would definitely come again :)

Pura vida Julia! . Muchas gracias por todo y miles de bendiciones para ambos.

What a lovely gem in Playa Negra and a 7 minute walk to the heart of puerto viejo! make sure to check out the brewery 100mts from here along with the Mexican restaurant next door! I was leery staying here during wet season in July however it's El nino so only 3 days out of 12 had rain and it wasn't an issue. I didn't realize there was no AC but powerful fans made it all work!

Muchas gracias Patrick! Los mejores deseos y esperamos que regreses algún día.

The place is great ! The location is very quiet and beautiful, but you can walk super quickly to the center of Puerto Viejo. A great experience!

Die Unterkunft ist super ! Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und wunderschön, man ist aber zu Fuß super schnell im Zentrum von Puerto Viejo. Ein tolles Erlebnis!

Alexander was super helpful and let us check in early! 1 min walk to playa negra. Super walkable everywhere. Loved our stay!

Alex was awesome! He greeted us with fresh lemonaide, shared his time with us to help us on our journey and chit chat, and gave us delicious coffee in the morning. His place is in the best location. Nearly connected to a bar and restaurant, across the street from the black sand beach, and minutes walk from the town. The room is very nice and the bed has its own shower and kitchen so it’s basically an apartment. The bed has a mosquito net so no bites. There’s a couple of fans which kept us comfy… great night sleep. 10/10 on this place. 😎🤘🏼

Thanks to you and your wife for staying with Us! 😊 Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip. All the best! 👌🏿

I was really impressed that Alexander greeted me in the morning , checked in with me if all was good and even invited me to have some early morning coffe which made me felt more like family than a stranger!

My stay at Alex‘ place was awesome. Playa negra was just 1 min away and the center with all Restaurants and Bars Max. 5-10. Everything was clean and exactly as expected. The appartment was so lovely and cozy. Especially the hammock on the terasse. I loved it. Thank you so much!

Alex and his wife are great hosts.  The property is very nice and I felt at home.  Very comfortable space.  Alex puts in the special little touches that are really nice for the host to do. Greatly appreciate the stay. You will enjoy.

Le couteau de cuisine est très bien aiguisé 👍🏻

Con mucho gusto, lo mejor de lo mejor para mis huéspedes, saludos cordiales desde playa negra. Pura vida! Yani.

Everything was perfect! From first to last minute I was amazed how this place is beautiful, peaceful and charming! You can hear the jungle and enjoy positive vibes lying in the hammock. It was good and positive experience. I was only disappointed, because I couldn't stay longer! Alexander is positive host and speaks perfect english. He welcomed us with fresh coconut after long journey from San José.

Great place to stay in Puerto Viejo and to fully experience its relaxing atmosphere. The house has a very nice garden and terrace, gives you a lot of privacy. At the same time it is a short walk to the city centre. Super clean apartment. Alex is a perfect host- thank you a lot for a great stay!

Alexander was welcoming, kind and helpful. I immediately felt relaxed in the beautiful spatious room with baslcony and hammock. Casse Caribe is wonderfully located within sound of the waves on the shore, frogs at nigt and Howler monkeys in the morning. Yet is was a short walk to vibrant Puerto Viejo life and facilities. Alexander really cares annd that is special.

It is a very peaceful place and that is very important to him. No electronic noise after 9:00 Hang in the hammock with a book and cool drink and enjoy the natural noise of the birds, crickets and Hollar monkeys.

Alex was really kind and the location was really cool. All in all it was a pleasure to stay in Casa Caribe!

We loved it here! Alex and Yani were super nice and they helped us with all of our problems. We even got to use the bikes, which was extremely helpful. And right upon arrival and anytime we wanted they offered us self-made drinks. The location was also very beautiful, right by the ocean. You could even hear the waves!

Hola Laura y Lynn fue muy agradable tenerlas en casa, gracias por cuidar tan bien del lugar, nos alegra saber que su experiencia en Puerto Viejo, fue memorable. Pura vida!

Alex and Yani are beautiful people. We felt so welcomed and appreciate their hospitality so much!!! Highly recommend Casa Caribe! We could hear the waves from the porch and even from inside!!! I love the artistic touches!!! We enjoyed our relaxing stay! The bus dropped us off near enough for it to be an easy walk, we enjoyed walking on the beach to go explore the town. Happy we found a couple open nights! Alex called a taxi for us and it worked out perfectly! Grateful we booked it!!! Hope to return!

Thanks for the juice you gave Us, It always feel good to recieve something... eving a smile!    THANKS FOR YOUR KINDNESS

Everything perfect, Alex and Yani were great! Thanks so much!
