Hotel Banana Azul is an intimate, rustic hotel bordering a virtually uninhabited stretch of sand on the Caribbean Coast. The miles of beach available around Puerto Viejo promises that guests can always find a bit of sand just for themselves! This is truly a secluded tropical vacation. Blooming gardens adorn the property, as do several freely-hanging hammocks, providing the perfect spot for afternoon napping or leisurely reading.
Puerto Viejo also offers some of the exciting adventure tours that are becoming known as a must for visitors to Costa Rica. Take a hike through the dense Cahuita National Park, take a dolphin-watching boat tour, or soar above the treetops for a unique view with a Caribbean zipline canopy tour!

The new pool and 8-person Jacuzzi which flows into the pool are simply divine.

Delicious ingredients combine to create international and Caribbean fusion meals that can please even the pickiest eater! Dinner menus are formed to always include a chicken or beef dish, a fish option, and a vegetarian option. Vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free options are available for guests who ask.
