Todo la estadía

Nada

Beautiful property located right in the center of town. The incredible thing is you have no clue you are in town. The rooms are nestled back in the jungle. We woke up to sounds of the jungle and nature. Just marvelous! The rooms are recently renovated and the property is well into a beautiful renovation. The staff is amazing and hard working to accommodate guests. The parking lot is secure and has security all night long. I can’t say enough good about the hotel. The attached restaurant was delicious as well. Shout out to the front desk staff. Thank you so much for returning my son’s computer game. He left it in the check-in area when we left to go to our room. Our hostess returned the game before we noticed it missing. The loss of this device would have been traumatic. The value you get at this hotel is phenomenal. It is a must stay in this area.

Breakfast is excellent. Great location

I have no negative experiences. The personnel is very professional

Our favorite part of Hotel Bambu was definitely the elevated covered walkways that we walked on to get to our room… it was such a fun way to get to our room, passing through rainforest basically…. There was a cacao tree, lots of heliconias, and other new-to-us plants and animals visible easily just during this walk to our room. We even saw a poison dart frog on the ground from our balcony. And we saw leaf cutter ants in the parking lot. The pool was great for our kids— and not many other people were using the pool at all. Everything felt safe and friendly. We somehow forgot that breakfast was included, but that was a happy discovery. The restaurant is pretty good, and friendly. We loved being in Puerto Viejo because it wasn’t too touristy— it felt more just like a place where people live, but not overrun with tourists. We enjoyed that, in contrast to the other places we visited (Arenal, Monteverde, etc). Hotel Bambu was perfect location right in the center of town, so we could walk out onto the sidewalks and explore the shops, go to local panaderias for treats, etc… without needing to drive anywhere. To get to the guided hikes/ bird walks/ etc in that area we visited La Selva biological station (bird walk), Selva Verde (great night hike) and Tirimbina (we went there for a chocolate tour and also just exploring the forest). We really loved Hotel Bambu and would probably stay there again. Oh also, the parking is good— in a lot behind the hotel, so don’t have to stress about street parking in town. And the air conditioning is great— much needed!

Only thing better would have been if we remembered to go to the free breakfast!

Cool rooms in the jungle. Great pool. Yummy breakfast/restaurant

Bathrooms and bed were in need of updating.

The location is central in Sarapiqui but the property goes deep into forest, so rather than just traffic, there are birds and howler monkeys to hear. There is lots of room in the suite and a comfortable balcony looking into the forest. Water is hot and AC as well as a fan. Fan is sufficient for sleeping. The attached restaurant is handy and closes at 9 or 10 p.m. Included breakfast was good. Available before 7 a.m., but larger buffet from 7-9 a.m.. Pool area had both sun and shade areas as well as a change room.

There is a fair amount of sound transfer between rooms, but people were quiet before 10pm. The large soaking tub is a nice concept but there is no plug (as is typical) and no grab bars to hold onto to get in and out for shower. Tub is a little slippery. I always appreciate a reading chair in a room and there is actually room for a small couch in this one. I addressed a couple of minor repair comments with front desk. There are less expensive rooms at the front of the building overlooking the road or pool. These would be more noisy, though ear plugs may help.

The hotel is really beautiful, looks like you are in the middle of the jungle and the pool is also really great!

Smell of damp in the room

The restaurant.

The room had a very strong smell of damp, the ac and the phone didn't work when we got in, plus the hotel was on a very busy road.
