Wonderful jungle retreat. Yoga room and classes were excellent, rooms were comfortable and the staff were great. Loved watching the wildlife from the common areas.
Marilia
Great place to unwind and take in the beauty of nature. Super friendly staff who were always there to answer any questions. The pool area was great and well maintained. Suites were clean with very well decorated. Will definitely be back!

Leslie
Rooms and restaurant and yoga building are very pretty and clean. Nice, helpful staff. Free yoga class-high wuality
Alexandra
Lovely place would stay again for sure. It’s quite far off the main road I’m and some parts are quite bumpy, but very peaceful and quiet so worth it.
Amanda
Beautiful place surrounded by nature
Beautiful place! If you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy the nature, this is the right place! We were here some years ago, even though the place is bigger it preserves the essence and beauty!
Sonia Lowe
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.
Lynne
We enjoyed our stay at Sonora. Very quiet. Staff kind and friendly. Breakfast was great! Road getting to Sonora is a bit challenging. Thank-you!
Michelle
The perfect start to my first solo adventure!
Sonora could not have been more perfect. Everything about it from decor to staff to breakfast and yoga. Just wonderful.
Stephanie
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.
Dominique
We will be returning!
It was an amazing stay! The room was beautiful. There was a minor issue we had but they were so accommodating to it. The breakfast they provided was delicious and I loved how it was an a beautiful seating area outside amongst nature. Me and my boyfriend loved our stay.
Zumi Erica
The property was beautiful and very well kept. It was a nice change from the city. Good air-conditioning and they have a nice clean pool.
Taylor
We loved staying here. It's a short drive into town. We loved the quiet atmosphere and the staff was fantastic.
Michelle
Difficult to reach out the place due to road
Celeste
The breakfast is amazing! Each option is served with fresh baked bread that's still warm. I had a tour that was picking me up at 8am and the staff was kind enough to rush out my food and pack my fruit to go. I highly recommend staying here

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.

Very nice place to stay, the nature around is beautiful, you would not hear any noise of the cars only birds singing. The breakfast we had was delicious every morning, also host Alessandra was very welcoming and helpful. Great experience!

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.
Thomas
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 hatten einen Bungalow mit Terrasse. Sehr sauber und in gutem Gesamtzustand.
Das Personal ist absolut Top! Sowohl Rezeption, Frühstücksbüffet und auch Service sind immer zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit.

Anna
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!

Lugar simples mas muito agradável, muito bonito, bem conectado à natureza.Faltou um frigobar no quarto. Café da manhã super gostoso, servido à mesa. Lugar silencioso e calmo. Precisa de carro, não tem nada perto.

Séjour parfait à l’hôtel Sonora.
Les propriétaires et le personnel sont très agréables et l’hôtel est absolument magnifique. La piscine d’eau salée est très propre.
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!

Bon sejour
Chambres agréable avec une excellente literie et une terrasse équipée d un siège double en palettes. Très bon petit déjeuner
Il manque un petit frigo mais on peu utiliser celui de l espace commun
La piscine un peu petite a bien compensé la plage où la mer était démontée
