This place is wonderful, very reasonably priced. The casitas are cozy and simple, Caribbean-style. The staff was very friendly. The location is perfect, just steps from Playa Chiquita and minutes from Puerto Viejo and Cocles, but away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds, which gave us a lot of peace and happiness. In front of the casitas, we had the honor of seeing a hummingbird nesting, as well as many other species of birds and monkeys. There's also parking. We liked everything about it. If you're looking for a basic place surrounded by gardens and nature, this is your place.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The like casitas are rustic and comfortable, the kitchenette well stocked and handy. While some people might turn their noses up at the simplicity of the places, we’re from New Mexico and prefer less. The only suggestion I have is rather than an extra twin bed in the room, it would be nice to have a simple seating area instead. The mosquitoes in the evening can be brutal making outdoor dining very hard unless you are covered in repellent. Joys of the jungle, but so with hearing the howler monkeys and birds in the morning!

Can’t say that I didn’t like anything

At night it is quite silent, so you can fully appreciate the sounds of nature. Rooms are surrounded by a lush and very well-kept garden. Kitchenette is equipped with what you need to prepare simple treats or dishes (like pasta or sandwiches) if that is what pleases you. No microwave, though, but that really is not an issue at all. There are several restaurants and pizza places nearby.

The floor standing fan was somewhat noisy and the shower did not include a soap bar, so we had to purchase one. Aside from that, everything was excellent.

Bungalows are near from a paradise beach call Playa Chiquita, you can walk from the hotel without taking your car out of the parking. The kitchen is fully equipped. Beds are comfortable. They are pet friendly and our pet had a great time in there.

Everything is great at Hotel Casitas Mar y Luz, the only thing I will improve is the WiFi. I've got a call disconnected due internet connection. With that being fixed I will recommend this place to all remote workers in the world :)

Everything about this place is magical and the staff are the best. They made me feel very special, William went beyond his call of duty to ensure I was safe and well looked after. The quaint casitas are nestled in the most beautiful gardens with a hammock to relax in on your own private porch. Everything is well thought out and clean. Hiring a bike is a fabulous way to get around. Chiquita beach is a 5 minute walk away and in my opinion was the best stretch of beach with the jungle creating shade close to the waters edge. I had many a fantastic walks along the beaches there. Everything you would need is in close proximity even Peurto Viejo town is only a 20 minute cycle on quiet roads.

The mosquitoes at night but that is par for the course in the jungle

Property Manager was friendly and helpful, as well as all staff. EXCELLENT SERVICE AND GREAT STAFF 👍🏽 there's a restaurant super close, walking distance, Italian, AMAZING food. Lovely ambiance, beautiful atmosphere 😍 WILL DEF BE BACK!

The ants in the cabin, yet property manager and staff can't control that.

A beautiful little oasis on the Caribbean coast. The typical Caribbean bungalows are surrounded by nature: In the morning you are woken up by monkeys and a hummingbird greets you at breakfast. The bungalows have a nice terrace where you can eat your meals (kitchen is available) or relax in the hammock. The very nice beach area is a few minutes walk away.

Cabin was great, clean and in an amazing garden. William was very helpful and gave us amazing tips for local food options, animal spotting, and beaches. He made us feel at home :)

Awesome accommodations. Private, quiet, lots of plants around the property. We could hear birds and monkeys in the morning. Romantic, relaxing setting. We would definitely return and also recommend.

The water is not potable.
