Guarana is a small hotel located in Puerto Viejo, 200mts away from the beach on the Caribbean coast. The beach however, is not one that you would want to swim in since it is extremely rocky. All of the hotels located directly in Puerto Viejo are located to that same beach. Guests staying in town have to travel a few kms to get to the first beach. From there it is beach after beach, giving travelers an amazing range of choices. Some beaches are for surfers, and others offer calm waters. This small hotel provides 12 rooms and two tree houses. Some of the highlight of this hotel are a kitchen facility open to all those on a budget, clean and comfortable rooms, as well as private bathrooms and hot water.

Shawandha Lodge is located in playa Chiquita in Puerto Viejo on South Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica. Shawandha provides 13 bungalows without air-conditioning and TV. Ideal for those looking to forget stressful modern life. Some of the highlights of this Lodge are individual cabins tucked away in the jungle providing each of its guests a spiritual experience. The bathrooms have really interesting designs. The cabins are very romantic and perfect for couples wanting to spend time together somewhere special. There is a pool being built that should be ready by Feb, 2009.

These bungalows are located on the quiet Atlantic coast of Costa Rica just outside of Puerto Viejo. What makes Azania special are the private bungalows that offer each guest a truly magical getaway. Another gem is the free-form swimming with a wonderful shaded garden area located right next to it.

In my opinion, Azania is one of the best deals in all of Costa Rica. I would happily pay $100 a night to stay here, however it is possible to stay for under that. Having a car is a plus when staying here due to the fact that it is isolated and that no buses run in the area.
