Hotel Aguas Claras
500 meters south of Villas Caribe, Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica
12 Rooms
Contemporary Classic & Secluded
The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica is nothing short of spectacular, and this particular stretch, down by the border with Panama, is something special indeed. You’d happily stay in a hastily constructed vacation rental to experience a setting like this, but, as you may have gathered from the context, you don’t have to — not while there’s a boutique hotel of the Hotel Aguas Claras’s quality.
It’s a family project, and a labor of love, established by an artist from San José and her daughter. Its most recent incarnation is new, following a 2017 renovation that leaves it in the state you see today: its suites lit up with bright colors and eye-catching modern furniture, its bungalows more rustic but no less elegant, and its biggest house, the five-bedroom Casa Floralia, a self-contained escape for a party of up to ten.
The hotel’s open-air Papaya Restaurant serves Afro-Caribbean comfort food surrounded by views of the tropical jungle, while DaLime Beach Club is just a few steps back from Playa Chiquita, a perfect sandy beach. Excursions include everything from surfing and snorkeling to wildlife tours, jungle hikes, and kayak trips — meanwhile right on Aguas Claras’ property you’re likely to spot toucans, macaws, monkeys, and even sloths.
