Kaya's Place

Puerto Viejo de Talamanca


Across from the beach at Puerto Viejo's western edge, this cool guesthouse has colorful basic rooms, including spacious garden rooms with air-con and hot-water bathrooms. Some older units have been combined into larger, more modern accommodations. The property also includes a private cabin and three apartments. A 2nd-floor deck is filled with hammocks with ocean views.

The bar and restaurant serves breakfast (from US$5), plus casados, homemade pizzas and excellent craft beer. There's a brewery onsite with a slew of local flavors (lemon wheat, watermelon pale ale). There's also a free pool table.
