Hi Sandro, we wanted to say thank you, gracias, danke, gracie for a very nice staY!Best in whole Costa Rica! Clean, quiet, friendly, moskitonets, safe, hammock, kitchen plus gratis coffee and drinkable tap water. And a super nice Garden with squirrels. Everything was like a guest want to expect it and all that for a fair price! But the best was travelling with Sandro into the cordillera de Talamanca to the tribes of the Bribri, experiencing they life out there, seeing unforgetable nature, rivers and landscapes. He knows a whole lot about the indigenous people there. Just can fully recommend that place! Ciao

El fin de semana nos hospedamos en Cabinas Guarana y nos atendieron muy bien, contamos con lo necesario para disfrutar de la zona, la gente en el area de cocina respetan tu espacio, las noches silenciosas, realmente disfrutamos y encantados de regresar. No hace falta la piscina ya que las playas son hermosas y en esta época es full verano!!!

Guarana definitivamente es un lugar hermoso, con lindas personas y un trato humano de maravilla, así es como cada vez me enamoro más de Pto. Viejo. Mil gracias a Paolo por su atención y hospitalidad y a Andrea por su buena vibra y calidez como persona. Espero volver muy pronto y pasarla tan a gusto como si fuera mi hogar, el único problema es que no quieres venirte al Valle Central jaja. Gracias y bendiciones para tan lindo lugar.

My girlfriend and I decided to get away for our anniversary last year, and after doing some research ended up booking a few days at Cabinas Guarana. The rooms were clean, great location, the staff was incredibly friendly, and in fact, we ended up riding the bus from San Jose to Puerto Viejo with the owner and some of her friends sitting right in front of us! Once we arrived in Puerto Viejo, although it was only a few blocks, our new friends even offered to lend their taxi giving us a ride with our bags. All in all, a good choice at a good price.

I loved staying at Cabinas Guarana. I stayed for a whole week and was taken care of exquisitely by the all of the staff, especially Alma. I was unwell the first few days(no fault of Cabana Guarana)so I had to lay low at my cabana. Everybody took great care of me and made sure I found a doctor to diagnose my illness. During my convalescence I was able to take pictures of many species of birds on the grounds of Guarana. Paulo, the co-owner of Guarana invited me to visit the building site of his new house near Puerto Viejo where I was able to photograph more birds and other natural history subjects. Cabana Guarana was clean, attractive, well maintained and moderately priced. I stayed at other places in Costa Rica that cost a lot more and were consequently more attractive: but none of those places were as much fun, visitor friendly, warm and and hospitable as Cabinas Guarana.

Cabinas Guarana is a wonderful place to stay with hot shower in the rooms AND you can DO YOUR OWN COOKING in the kichen with everything available. Super market is only 20 meter away from this Hotel and buy all you want and store it in the refig. Very Nice owner and family owned location, very clean area and rooms with nice and comfortable beds. very private place. This place is quiet with beautiful sounds of roosters all over the twon. and it is very secure. I have stayed here two nights and will visit again.

I have stayed several times at hotel guarana. I live in Costa Rica and travel to Puerto Viejo and then to Bocas Del Toro every 90 days to update my passport. I can tell you that hotel quarana is very clean, safe and very friendly staff. My room was cleaned everyday, clean towels, and linen. I enjoy the patio laying in the hamock, its very peaceful and tranquil. The property is kept very clean. Nice communal kitchen to cook, and best of all a brand new Mega Super grocery store right next to the hotel which is great, no long walk to the store. I highly recommend hotel guarana at very reasonable prices.

Wonderful place to stay!!

Cabinas Guarana is a wonderful place to stay. Nice, clean, spacious rooms, with comfortable beds, privacy, and even a comfortable hammock on your own private lanai. This place is quiet, and secure. We have stayed here on two consecutive visits over the past 10 months. The owner's (Paulo, and Giovana) are great people. Very friendly, and helpful. The staff are equally friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to assist with reservations, recommendations, information, and even translation. Cabinas Guarana is a great value, and has become my home away from home in PV!

I've been staying at the Guaranas almost every year over the past 6 years. Its charm, cleaniness, and security provide a relaxed atmosphere. The staff are extremely hospitable and helpful. I don't consider anywhere else when coming to PV.
