Guest Houses in Puerto Jiménez

Loubnan is such a lovely host and did everything to make us happy. There is a big community area with a kitchen and a fridge. Perfect to stay a few days and explore the beautiful Osa Peninsula.

My girlfriend and me had three wonderful days here. This cute little hut is located right in the cozy village of Doz Brazos. Nature is all around around you: If you like that (and don’t mind seeing one or the other bug), you’ll love this place. Animals we saw and heard were chickens, cows, lots of cute dogs and even a Tucan in the distance! And regularly, some hummingbirds visited us while we had breakfast on the terrace. The house itself has a kitchen and a semi-open structure. The walls for example don’t go all the way up, which probably helped the airflow & was the reason why we could sleep without a fan. There were fans in our bedroom & the main room. Our bedroom was lockable from the inside, the other bedroom had a curtain instead of a door, but that would’ve been fine for us as well. Honestly speaking, we were a bit skeptical upon our arrival. But this skepticism quickly went away due to these factors: First of all, because of our hosts. The family lives right next to the hut and was super welcoming, nice and helpful. During our first breakfast, they even brought us a nice welcoming snack! With all the kindness, they still left us plenty of privacy. Another reason were our temporary “flatmates“, another couple that came for a day and moved into the room with the curtain. They were very kind as well & we had some nice conversations on the terrace. Last but definitely not least is the initial reason why we booked this place: Access to the Bolita rainforest trails. Since the owners work at the Bolita rainforest hostel, free access (without any guides) to these beautiful hiking trails through the jungle was granted. Though I imagine, we would’ve seen more animals if we had an Costa Rican with eagle eyes with us! Luckily, Carlos, one of the owners, offers guidance (only Spanish though). Very soon, we felt very comfortable and happy to be in such a remote, authentic & beautiful place (just check out the garden photos!) with so many nice people.

Friendly and helpful personal, fully equipped outdoor kitchen, nice room with big shower

We stayed two nights at the location and it was very pleasent. The room was simple and clean. We slept well with AC and used the kitchen for cooking. It had everything we needed. The porch is cosy and we saw two Aras in the garden and plenty of other birds. We also did a two day tour with Kerley to la Sirena. It was an exceptional experience in the national park. He is a great guy and a very good gide. He is really pationate about his job and it was very nice talking wih him. We highly recommend staying and doing a tour with him. All the best for your plans Kerley! Christian and Agi.

Total eco seclusion in prime rainforest… dont expect all mod cons but this place is a gem in a great wildlife location. Suzanna and Channi are just the best hosts. I will be back to find that Black-cheeked Ant Tanager one day soon 😊👍

Absolutely loved it here! As soon as I arrived I was greeted with big smiles and kindness from the staff. They are relaxed, helpful, fun and just really good people. Room was great! Bed comfy. I loved how the hotel had different zones so you can either be social or find a quiet area to chill. Shared kitchen was super clean, spacious and very well organized. Lots of surfboards for rent. Beach about 50m away, a few cafes / restaurants close, as well as the mini market store. 100% will be back! Hopefully sooner rather than later. Thanks for a great time Hotel Swell.... Walter, Flavio x2, Natalie, Federicka and Chepe, you guys are legends, well done on your exceptional customer service.

Close to the beach, super nice and helpful owner, great shared kitchen, pura vida!

Wonderful location in a small village approx 4km from La Palma. Nice home built accomodtion in the garden of Louis the talented craftsman. Near to river and national park.

Great place in the center of Puerto Jiménez - steps to the bus stations, restaurants, a supermarket, a bakery, tour offices and banks. The room was exactly as described and featured two comfy chairs on the balcony. The wifi was surprising great - about 90 mb/s dropping lower if a lot of people were using it. The host is an amazing resource for things to do or helpful tips, and is super nice too.

The owner Josh is a super-kind American dude who is always ready to help or advise. Great time and adventures partly with local guides we had at Dos Brazos.
