Villas del Caribe

Hidden five kilometres southeast of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Villas del Caribe places guests directly on the Caribbean shoreline where the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge corridor begins. The surrounding canopy keeps the property cooler than central Puerto Viejo, and howler monkeys are a reliable early alarm.

Villas face the beach rather than a parking lot; each unit has a terrace, refrigerator, and private bathroom. The outdoor pool sits between the garden and the sand, giving guests a choice of swim settings within thirty seconds of each other. Room service and a bar handle meals without requiring guests to leave the grounds.

The nearest grocery and surf shops are a short bike ride back toward town along the coastal road.
