a gem

this is such a beautiful space with kind and courteous staff. The resort is so serene and beautiful, and rich with wild costa rican nature. Just the occasional inconsistencies with the cleanliness of the floors, and odors in the room, that could be resolved with more attention to cleaning and by providing air fresheners - that was my only critique. As the resort is often fully booked because it's truly a gem.

The property was beautiful, peaceful, and most hang out spots were open air style. The staff were so friendly, cute dogs on site, and the response to arriving the premises was amazing. Only thing was the first night we arrived (after a 20 hour commute) we went to use the shower and noticed the shower handle wasn’t paved flatly against the wall, to which numerous mosquitos came out to greet us. Additionally, add said the studio was sound proof and it was not in fact sound proof, could hear people walking outside and communicate through the door without having to open it. Besides that, we had an amazing time here. Close to a lot of amazing restaurants and beaches.

Beautiful place to relax near Puerto Viejo

Alessandra and her staff make for the most amazing experience at this secluded hotel. My room was very clean and beautifully styled with high-quality linens. The grounds, pool, and breakfast area provide excellent spaces to relax. I would especially recommend this place for couples looking for a nice getaway retreat.

Note: the hotel is a little further outside Puerto Viejo on a quiet road, you can park your car or Alessandra has an excellent relationship with some local taxi drivers for transportation.

Refresh, Rejuvenate, Explore

This unique and undiscovered treasure goes way beyond - from the magninamous and sophisticated proprietor who understands how to correct anything that might go wrong to the delicate architectural intricacies woven throughout that invite studied attention. As you can guess, we absolutely loved it. After traveling throughout the world we feel Sonora Caribbean Jungle Retreat is perfect for the weary traveller seeking an oasis of rest and rejuvenation. Stayed for only 3 days but a longer stay is a great idea.

Sauberes Zimmer in einer schön angelegten Anlage. Kleiner, aber feiner Pool. Es werden täglich kostenlose Yoga-Lektionen angeboten.

Das Frühstück wird im Restaurant serviert. Neben lokalen Spezialitäten gab es auch leckeres Sauerteigbrot und frisch gebackene Kuchen. Rühreier oder Spiegeleier werden auf Wunsch frisch zubereitet.

Das Retreat liegt etwas außerhalb von Puerto Viejo. Mit dem Uber kommt man problemlos zur Hauptstraße und in den Ort.

Zu guter letzt: sehr sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.

Wir waren 2 Nächte in diesem Hotel und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen! Die Hütten stehen in einem tollen Garten, sind gemütlich eingerichtet und bieten allen Komfort: geräumiges Bad mit ausreichend ausreichend Abstellmöglichkeit, das Bett war eher hart aber bequem. Die AC war leise. Die Zimmer waren absolut sauber und der Zimmerservice gründlich. Der Poolbereich ist auch sehr schön, dort gibt es auch einen Wasserspender.
Das Frühstück in Buffetform war lecker und lokal geprägt, uns hat alles gut geschmeckt. Auch das Essen im Restaurant war super.
Da das Hotel ziemlich abseits liegt, sind andere Restaurants eher nur mit dem Auto zu erreichen (am ersten Abend hatte das Restaurant geschlossen). Die Mitarbeiter waren allesamt freundlich.
Ein kleiner Minuspunkt: bei Regen ist es extrem laut, wenn es auf das Blechdach regnety Am anderen Tag wurden wir von den Brüllaffen geweckt, also Ohropax mitnehmen wenn man empfindlich ist.
Insgesamt hat es uns sehr gut gefallen und wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen! Pura vida!

Séjour parfait à l’hôtel Sonora.

Tout est d’une propreté remarquable et on se sent merveilleusement bien dans l’hôtel.
Les petits déjeuners sont excellents et les propriétaires proposent un repas cuisiné de leurs propres mains chaque soir pour 20$/personne. Entrée, plat, dessert. C’était excellent et copieux, l’un des meilleurs dîner rapport qualité-prix de tout notre séjour.
Endroit parfait pour séjourner aux abords de puerto viejo et cahuita!
