Villas del Caribe, Puerto Viejo de Talamanca Hotels
Simple, no-frills beachside hotel on Playa Cocles near the Jaguar Rescue Center.
Villas del Caribe presents a straightforward, beachside lodging experience situated directly on the well-regarded Playa Cocles in Puerto Viejo. Its location is undoubtedly a strong point, offering convenient access to the beautiful coastline. However, it is worth noting that the accommodations possess a slightly older aesthetic and would benefit from some modernization. For moments when you desire a break from the sandy shores, you can unwind in the outdoor pool area, a charming space that includes a Jacuzzi perched atop an artfully crafted artificial waterfall. From the guest rooms, as well as the hotel’s restaurant, guests can enjoy pleasant views of the ocean.
**Strengths of Villas del Caribe:**
* The property boasts an enviable location, found in close proximity to the renowned Jaguar Rescue Center. Moreover, its adjacency to Playa Cocles, celebrated as one of the most frequented beaches in the area, positions it as an ideal destination for swimming enthusiasts.
* The room arrangements offer a desirable level of seclusion, situated within blocks of cozy cabins, allowing guests to savor a sense of privacy coupled with captivating ocean vistas. It’s important to note that all accommodations are equipped with either balconies or terraces, specifically designed to showcase the beautiful water views.
* For families or smaller groups traveling together, the option to reserve apartments complete with fully equipped kitchens presents a distinct advantage, enabling greater flexibility and convenience during their stay.
* The outdoor pool area provides a refreshing escape, enhanced by the presence of a decorative artificial waterfall and an inviting Jacuzzi hut, perfect for relaxation.
**Considerations for Guests:**
* The overall ambiance of the property leans toward a more dated feel, which might not appeal to guests seeking a modern or recently renovated environment.
* Reaching Puerto Viejo de Talamanca on foot requires a considerable amount of time, approximately an hour’s walk. Therefore, renting a car or arranging for taxi services is essential for easy access to the main town and its various attractions.
* Some previous guests have reported that the mattresses and pillows provided were excessively firm, leading to potential discomfort during their sleep.
* While air conditioning is available in all the bedrooms, it’s important to be aware that certain other areas within the suites, such as the living rooms, depend solely on ceiling fans to provide cooling, which may not be sufficient for all guests, particularly during warmer periods.
