Hotel Pumarosa

Tena


Inviting rooms have high wooden ceilings, large armoires and modern white-tiled bathrooms. There is reliable hot water, cable TV, lush gardens and billiards in the open-air lobby. The disco and roller-rink next door mean loud weekend nights, but, on the plus side, guests enjoy free entry. The most intriguing tour possibility is to see the cacao plantations that produce Kallari chocolate.

Edward, the owner, also has a spacious apartment for rent appropriate for groups up to 20 or so, just across the river. Call for rates and availability (in Spanish only).
