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.

We absolutely loved our stay here! Such a cute, pretty little place with every little thing really thought into by the owners Francisco and Andrea. We felt like we were in a little oasis and the service was also second to none, with all the services one would one expect from a 5star hotel plus the extra personal touch which made it extra special. Selva was also great at providing us with recommendations and super sweet serving us yummy breakfast every morning. Thank you for a fab few days, was the best way to end our amazing holiday in Costa Rica ❤️

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!

What an amazing experience we had at La Prometida. First the basics: Andrea reached out the day of our arrival to say hi and see if we needed anything; any requests got a super fast response; free on-site parking; nice well-lit, 24-hour pool; towels for your shower (changed daily) and beach towels. The really special qualities: Freshly made French press coffee delivered to your door with tiny pastries at 7am; fresh made-to-order breakfast from a breakfast menu with vegeterian options; Andrea and Fransisco have a wealth of knowledge and want to make sure that you enjoy your stay and have plenty to do; the design is exceptional so many beautiful touches down to the small plates that come with breakfast for butter and jelly. I could say a lot more but don't want to ruin the surprise and intrigue of this charming place!

This was easily the best hotel experience we have ever had. I realize that this review will probably sound like it was a paid ad (it's not), but we simply had the best stay. Within a day at the hotel, we were already planning a trip back. La Prometida is the perfect blend of boutique hotel (style, food, thoughtfulness) and a great AirBnB (a very personal experience with the hosts). Aside from the gorgeous style of the hotel and the pristine pool, we loved how intimate it was. You can tell that Andy and Fran have poured their hearts into their place and they were so excited to show it to us. They were also filled with knowledge about the area and were conversational with any/all guests. We had a great time joking around with them and hearing their story. Hospitality comes naturally to them and it shows in every aspect of the place.The breakfast (and morning coffee) are also fantastic touches. The hotel is just a few hundred feet from a beach and about a 3 minute drive or 15 minute walk into Puerto Viejo. Just far enough from the bustle of town to feel the quiet but never inconvenient. Before we checked out, we told Andy and Fran that we can’t think of a single thing we would have changed and we meant it. Definitely check them out!

During our roadtrip through Costa Rica we stayed at the La Prometida for three nights. You can reach Puerto Viejo and the Cahuita National Park within a few minutes by car. The room was really pretty, very clean and cozy. The breakfast was delicious and the hosts are amazing. For us it was probably the best hotel during our time in Costa Rica :).
