La Prometida

A beautiful oasis on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. Front of house Selva was so welcoming on arrival, and would plan my daily adventures. Owner Andy was lovely and had some San Franciscan friends staying, who were so inclusive and insightful. Villas are classy-coastal-chic. I highly recommend this sanctuary.

This was hands down the most amazing experience I have ever had at a hotel! We arrived late the first night around 9pm, and we were promptly greeted by Francisco with a glass of wine and a cool lemongrass scented towel. That was a very nice touch, especially after the long ride there. We brought some fresh pipas (which we learned the name for from the host 😄) with us that we got from one of our taxi drivers along the way. Francisco took our luggage to our room for us and even offered to prepare the delicious pipas for us! Breakfast the next morning was outstanding, and the beautiful views of the pool and the rest of the property pair quite nicely with the fresh juices and fruit! The villa was luxurious, perfectly spacious for my girlfriend and me, and felt very private. All of the staff were amazing, and we especially enjoyed chatting with Selva, who gave us some great recommendations about things to do in the area. To sum it up, I can't speak highly enough of this experience! It doesn't even feel fitting to call this a hotel, because I definitely felt like I was at a resort. When I inevitably return to Puerto Viejo (there's no way I can stay away after this) I will absolutely be staying at La Prometida!
