2BR bungalow in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca

Villa Amapola with pool 5 minutes from the beach. - Apartments for Rent in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Limón Province, Costa Rica

Loved staying at Nabeth’s place! It was super neat and tidy! Close to the beach, shops and restaurants in Puerto Viejo! The girls at the reception desk were super sweet and helpful. And Nabeth was so sweet and she helped us a bunch!! Only con is the walls are extremely thin so if you’re a light sleeper I maybe wouldn’t recommend. There’s also not many amenities (paper towels, iron, etc) so if you’re needing additional things like that I’d say bring it with you or stop at one of the local stores

very good place and location, the pans could be in better condition

muy buen lugar y ubicación,  los  sartenes podrían estar en mejor estado

Very nice place, quiet and safe. very close to the beaches and restaurants. Recommended 100%

Lugar muy agradable, tranquilo y seguro. muy cerca de las playas y restaurantes. Recomendado 100%

Certainly! Here’s a 5-star review you can leave for your Airbnb host in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica: “Absolutely Amazing Stay!” I had the most incredible experience staying at this beautiful Airbnb in Puerto Viejo! From the moment I arrived, my host was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. The property itself was exactly as described, if not even better. It was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located to explore the local area. The host gave fantastic recommendations for things to do and places to eat, which made my trip even more memorable. The atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing—ideal for unwinding and enjoying the natural beauty of Costa Rica. I truly felt at home and taken care of during my entire stay. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Puerto Viejo. I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area. Thank you so much for such an unforgettable experience! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Feel free to tweak it if you’d like!

The place was nice. Mabeth's treatment and the cleaning lady improved the experience, excellent customer service. The only thing is that the accommodation does not have 3 rooms, it has 2 bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living room, which was comfortable. However, due to this misunderstanding, we were compensated with a late check-out, which we appreciated. Quiet and very important safe place.

El lugar estaba bien. El trato de Mabeth y la señora de limpieza mejoraron la experiencia, excelente servicio al cliente. Lo único es que el alojamiento no tiene 3 habitaciones, tiene 2 habitaciones y un sofá cama en la sala, que estaba cómodo. Sin embargo debido a este mal entendido nos compensaron con un late check out, lo cual agradecimos. Un lugar tranquilo y muy importante seguro.

we celebrated a birthday today. the pool was a great after party! the beds were very comfortable.

The villas are spectacular I really enjoyed my stay, they have everything you need, they even offer bike rent which makes the stay more fun. The house and pool were spotless, Nabeth was a very gracious host, she was attentive to all the details giving me local recommendations. I would definitely visit them again. :)

Las villas son espectaculares disfruté mucho mi estadía, cuentan con todo lo necesario, incluso ofrecen renta de bicicleta lo que hace más divertida la estadía. La casa y la piscina estaban impecables, Nabeth fue una anfitriona muy amable, estuvo al pendiente de todos los detalles dándome recomendaciones de la zona. Sin duda alguna volvería a visitarlos. :)

Beautiful place, just as seen in the photographs. Everything was very clean and organized, the space was enough for the two people and my dog, the pool very clean, large private parking, private and safe entrance. I definitely recommend it and I would stay at this place again. Nabeth was very kind and attentive to the questions raised, even allowed us to enter one hour before check-in.

Hermoso lugar, tal cual como se observa en las fotografías. Todo muy limpio y organizado, el espacio fue suficiente para las dos personas y mi perrita, la piscina muy limpia, parqueo privado amplio, entrada privada y segura. Sin dudar la recomiendo y volvería a hospedarme en este lugar. Nabeth fue muy amable y atenta a las consultas planteadas, inclusive nos permitió ingresar una hora antes del check in.

Thank you the place was perfect close to everything! A very comfortable, clean place and a king bed! Thanks again

Milles Merci l’endroit était parfaite à proximité de tout! Un logement très confortable propre et un lit king ! Merci encore

Good space, quiet and close to all restaurants and tourist areas in the area...

Buen espacio, tranquilo y cerca de todos los restaurantes y zonas turísticas de la zona...

Encantados de recibirles, gracias por mencionar la cercanía en la que nos encontramos de Puerto viejo centro (zona turística y mejores restaurantes).

The place matched the description. Nabeth was very responsive and a great host. Easy walk to the beach, and the swimming pool is very nice.

This is it. Look no further. This is the optimal place if you are looking for an spot close to Puerto Viejo, or playa Negra (less than 3 minutes away)Nabeth is an incredibly kind host. And the place is amazingly well equipped with two ACs - one for each room- . Lastly l, pay no attention to reviews talking about bugs, we noticed nothing and had a pleasant stay. Will definitely be back.

Great place  in a peaceful neighbourhood. Apartment was clean and spacious. We really enjoyed spending time there.

A really cute place, great location, and the communication at all times was clear. I recommend and if I would go back to this place.

Un lugar muy lindo, excelente ubicación y la comunicación en todo momento fue clara. Recomiendo y si volvería a este lugar.

Gracias por rescatar que nos encontramos en una excelente ubicación, muy cerca de Puerto Viejo centro y la playa pero a la vez lo suficientemente alejado del bullicio, será un gusto volver a hospedarlos. ¡Les esperamos pronto!

Spend a pleasant stay at the Caribbean's Raccoon Villas. The house was very clean and tidy, the rooms have A/C and if you want to cook they have equipped kitchen and private parking. In addition, the internet was reliable and fast, you can walk to the beach (5 minute walk). It's a great place to stay, very close to downtown Puerto Viejo. Highly recommended! Without a doubt, I hope to be back very soon!

Pase una agradable estadía en Villas Mapache del caribe. La casa estaba muy limpia y ordenada, las habitaciones tienen aire acondicionado y si quieres cocinar cuentan con cocina equipada y parqueo privado. Además, el internet era fiable y rápido, se puede llegar a pie a la playa (5 minutos caminando). Es un alojamiento fantástico, muy cerca de Puerto Viejo centro ¡Muy recomendable! ¡Sin duda alguna, espero volver muy pronto!

Thank you so much for all the hospitality. You saved us from a horrible situation with another host! A hug!

Muchas gracias por toda la hospitalidad. Nos salvaste de una situación horrible con otro host! Un abrazo!

Nos encanto su visita, será un placer volver a tenerles de nuevo con nosotros.

good place to stay. 5 minute walk to playa negra

The apartment was very clean, super kind Host, very place. We really enjoyed the huge kitchen to prepared our dinner. Slept fantastic in comfy beds.

Thank you very much for rescuing that we have a large kitchen, comfortable beds and very important we always take care of cleanliness. It will be a pleasure to receive you at another time.

The accommodation is very close to the beach, but about 2 km from the center of Puerto Viejos. The kitchen is well equipped. Nabeth responded to inquiries very quickly and kindly so she was always responsive. It was not good that when we arrived, the entire bedroom was already full of ants, so this was not usable for us. We moved to another room the next morning, but then had the problem there the next few days that several cockroaches and various lizards found their way into the apartment every day, which made us not feel comfortable. The doors at the bottom have a very large gap that allows animals to enter, windows are also not completely closed. I think the apartments upstairs don't have these issues, so I would definitely recommend booking one of the upper apartments.

Die Unterkunft liegt sehr nahe am Strand, jedoch ca. 2km vom Zentrum Puerto Viejos. Die Küche ist ausreichend ausgestattet. Nabeth hat auf Nachfragen sehr schnell und freundlich reagiert sodass sie immer ansprechbar war. Nicht gut war, dass bei unserer Ankunft bereits das ganze Schlafzimmer voll mit Ameisen war, sodass dieses für uns nicht nutzbar war. Wir sind dann am nächsten morgen in ein anderes Zimmer umgezogen, hatten dort dann die nächsten Tage jedoch das Problem, dass jeden Tag mehrere Kakerlaken und diverse Eidechsen ihren weg in die Wohnung gefunden haben, wodurch wir uns nicht wohl gefühlt haben. Die Türen haben unten einen sehr großen Spalt, der es Tieren ermöglicht einzudringen, die Fenster sind ebenfalls nicht völlig geschlossen. Ich denke die Wohnungen oben haben diese Probleme nicht, deswegen würde ich raten auf jeden Fall eins der oberen Apartments zu buchen.

The stay was very pleasant. The apartment is well equipped with facilities, you can also sit outside in the hammock and sofas which was nice. The host was quick to respond, and we were given extra water, which was very pleasant. The house was a very good price/quality ratio.

Het verblijf was zeer prettig. Het appartement is goed uitgerust met faciliteiten, je kunt ook buiten zitten in de hangmat en banken wat fijn was. De host reageerde snel, en we kregen nog extra water wat erg prettig was. Het huis was een zeer goede prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.

A great stay! Close to the beach and great air conditioning that really helped with the midday sun

It is a very nice accommodation, although they are apartments if there is privacy.

Es un alojamiento muy lindo, aunque son departamentos si hay privacidad.

Hermosa familia, ¡esperamos volverles a ver!

Very good option , they just need to add soap to wash cooking utensils + towel paper

Muy buena opción , solo que deben agregar jabón de lavar utensilios de cocina + papel toalla

The place is super cozy and clean, everything very tidy and warm, very safe and private, the quiet neighborhood, Nabeth was very kind and always attentive to every detail of the place, I would definitely stay again.

El lugar súper acogedor y limpio, todo muy ordenado y cálido, muy seguro y privado, el barrio tranquilo, Nabeth fue muy amable y siempre estuvo atenta a cada detalle del lugar, volvería a hospedarme sin lugar a duda.

Muchas gracias por la visita, esperamos volverles a ver. Las puertas de nuestro hospedaje están abiertas para ustedes.

A pleasant place for a comfortable and short stay.

Un sitio agradable para una estancia cómoda y corta.

Excelentes huéspedes, volvería a hospedarlos. Esperamos volver a verles!

Nabeth was great, the place was beautiful and super clean and location perfect. Very happy with my stay!

Stephanie's visit was pleasant, they took very good care of our space, it will be a pleasure to host them again!

Nabeth has been a great host. He welcomed us, helped us in every situation we needed, and resolved immediately if anything showed up. The location, cleanliness and location are points that have stood out in excellence. The area is very quiet and safe. Photos perfectly reflect reality

Nabeth ha sido una increíble anfitriona. Nos recibió, ayudo en cada situación que necesitábamos y resolvió inmediatamente si algo se presentaba. El lugar, la limpieza y ubicación son puntos que han sobresalido en excelencia. La zona es muy tranquila y segura. Las fotos reflejan a la perfección la realidad

Saludos Rocio! Nos alegra saber que su estancia en nuestro hospedaje cumplió con sus expectativas, esperamos verles de nuevo!

100% recommended, impeccable facilities and communication with Nabeth was excellent.
