On your first night, you may be surprised by the chorus of noises coming from animals outside your bungalow!įrom the frogs to the howler monkeys, you’re bound to be reminded that you’re staying in a retreat that’s been built in their rainforest! The KuaKua Bungalow goes for around $400 a night, depending on the dates, etc. It’s directly next to the large yoga building, and a short walk down to the beach access at Da Lime. KuaKua’s also includes a small kitchen on the patio: The outdoor shower is surrounded by walls of orchids and bromeliads.Įach of the bungalows has an indoor and outdoor space, with a private porch. We stayed in the KuaKua Bungalow (which means “butterfly” in the indigenous language in the Puerto Viejo area) which is almost 600 square feet, surrounded by private tropical gardens. I also love the bright, airy Caribbean style of the main part of the hotel, and the lobby you first walk into. The lush gardens and surrounding rainforest give complete privacy.

Not just outdoor showers, but full outdoor bathrooms! Several bungalows have outdoor bathrooms. Plus, they’re historic! The bungalows which are now part of this Puerto Viejo hotel were the original homes on the beach (Playa Chiquita) which have now been renovated into contemporary lodges.

The suites and BungalowsĪguas Claras features a series of bungalows and suites, each of which is unique. Of course, the straws are made locally from bamboo, which is compostable. You’ll enjoy eating at the tables, or drinking juice or a cocktail out of a coconut on the beach chairs. Playa Chiquita is a nice swimming spot, and is one of the seven (or so) main beaches in the Puerto Viejo area. Instead, Aguas Claras will provide you with reusable stainless steel water bottles to fill up. There are no plastic bottles here, whatsoever. The water is safe to drink, thanks to a water filtration system on site.

They say they’ll even take you fishing, if you’d like to experience that (it’s on my list for next time!). You’ll get a first-hand look at their sustainability efforts in their kitchens, gardens, and general operations. Sustainability at the HotelĪguas Claras is one of the Cayuga Collection hotels which offers “behind the scenes” sustainability tours for visitors. A mother-daughter team from San Jose only recently renovated the property into the five-star resort it is today. It’s a relatively new hotel, but the property has a rich history, and the bungalows are some of the original homes on Playa Chiquita.

Aguas Claras bills itself as a “modern, bohemian hideaway,” but it’s so much more!
