Casa Verde

Puerto Viejo de Talamanca


This 17-room wonder features tiled walkways winding through gardens hosting tidy accommodation, each with high ceilings, stained-wood furniture, folk-art touches and private terraces with hammocks. The pool is straight out of Fantasy Island. A sloth may make the rounds, along with colorful frogs and other critters. Credit cards accepted.

The adjoining La Terraza restaurant is an attractive open-air option, with gourmet burgers and craft beer.
