Open-air design, private bathrooms, and garden views define Villa Chocolatl, a 3-bedroom villa with pool and terrace dining. Set near Caribbean beaches in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca.
The Space
Relax in a unique, peaceful home designed to live in harmony with nature. The house is fully open and naturally ventilated while still providing high-end comfort, creating an immersive experience in the rhythm of the jungle.
Villa Chocolatl is located 800 meters from some of the world’s highest-ranked Caribbean beaches, at the foot of the mountains in the South Caribbean and beside the National Indigenous Reserve. Its distinctive design combines rustic details with modern architecture, offering a comfortable setting from which to appreciate the beauty and biodiversity of the Caribbean jungle.
A typical morning may begin with the calls of howler monkeys and a symphony of birds. Enjoy fresh fruit on the terrace in the morning breeze while toucans, macaws, agoutis, and hummingbirds move through the garden. After sunset, the tropical forest comes alive with its own vibrant sounds, creating a natural backdrop for a restful night.
The home includes:
- Three private bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and open-air shower
- Garden views from the bedrooms
- A spacious, fully equipped modern kitchen
- An open terrace with a dining area
- White armchairs and raw-wood details
- A deck beside the swimming pool
- Warm lighting for comfortable dinners and gatherings without overwhelming the Caribbean night
Whether the sun is shining or rain is falling, Villa Chocolatl is designed to make the most of every season and provide an immersive stay in the lush South Caribbean.
Outdoor Areas
The property sits on 5,000 square meters of land filled with fruit trees, local plants, and flowers. Enjoy the swimming pool surrounded by jungle and take in views of the Bribri mountains.
Guest Access
All areas of the property are available for guests to enjoy.
Other Things to Note
The property does not depend on the public water system. If the town’s water supply is interrupted, the house has its own water source.
Drinking water is purified on-site with an eco-filter, so there is no need to purchase bottled water.

The place is beautiful and the house was very nice. The host responded quickly but unfortunately it was a nice empty shell. We had to ask for extra towels and blankets. No cleaning products just a sponge and dishwashing liquid. No or few utensils. The furniture was not suitable, uncomfortable rope seat. The place is remote and wild, does not close properly. The only place to put clothes was not secure. There were no instructions on site. We were always forced to ask for information or a minimum of comfort. We didn't even know where to put the trash cans. Two very worn-out sun loungers for 6 beds. It is clear that the owners have never lived there. No games. It's a beautiful empty shell. I find that in view of the price it is not acceptable. The owners need to invest to make this place more welcoming.

The place was amazing! It’s a nice property in the middle of the nature. Something to keep in mind: there are bugs everywhere but we don’t mind that at all, the whole place is an amazing experience and it’s such a relaxing place. Very well connected to lots of activities in Puerto Viejo.

Beautiful property with an open plan. We enjoyed the open air living area and bathroom. We loved the howler monkeys in the morning, butterflies and the wildlife that came through. It’s not an easy walk to the beach down the long hilly dirt road so plan on driving. Once down the road you are right on playa cocles.

This is our third stay here in three years and it is something we always look forward to. We can't wait to come back! The surroundings are incredible, and we love the layout of the house, which works so well for us. We come to Costa Rica for the wildlife, and we certainly get that when we stay here! We wake with the howlers and fall asleep to the sounds of the nocturnal creatures. For people wanting a private place to observe nature, this place will not disappoint: from the variety of birds, the howlers and capuchins, to the geckos that hunt at night. Thank you for being such a kind and responsive host!

There were five of us and we rented the villa including the second building. The location is very nice, surrounded by trees, but still only a few hundred meters from the beach. The bathrooms are open. Since the house is in the middle of nature, it is to be expected that one or the other bug gets lost in the bathroom. But that doesn't bother you in this area. We would come back!

The house is beautiful and clean, its location is great, giving the tranquility of nature yet you can reach downtown Puerto Viejo by car in about 7 min. The fact that there is no AC has not been an issue for us since the weather at night was quite fresh and the ventilators and fans provided was procuring a nice breeze. Some maintenance on the wooden deck and long chairs by the pool would be great to give it a better appearance.

Lovely house. Recommended. In the middle of the jungle and in 2 minutes drive you are on the beach. Good base for the Caribbean coast. In our head the house and pool was slightly larger. We had also briefly missed that there was a second cottage. Mattress laid in main house for our third child. Went fine. Beds moderately from the main house. But place was lovely. Nice open living room. House was lovely and the owner was extremely friendly and helpful. Recommended.

Villa Chocolatl's open structure allows you to truly live in connection with the gorgeous surrounding nature. At the same time it feels very safe and secure. Our family of 5 thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing time at this beautifully decorated and maintained villa. We wholeheartedly recommend it!

The location was beautiful, immersed in the jungle which was great. Lots of room to explore and lounge, the design was pretty, and it was close enough to the main beaches and amenities. The host was very responsive. Pros: Very Private and tucked in 3 Open air bathrooms (which we loved) Lots of beautiful animals (guatusas, monkeys, butterflies, birds) and nature Good parking Nice breeze Internet good on the main house Cons: Doors in the house were tough to open There was half a gate at the entry, so you couldn’t really close the property. Security wise we felt a bit exposed at night with that and the fact that the doors could be kicked open very easily because of the material. No internet in the bungalow
