Overview

Pool at Hotel El Bambu
Pool at Hotel El Bambú

Conveniently located in the city of Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí, Hotel El Bambú offers guests a reprieve from the hustle and bustle. Surrounded by nature at its best, you can sit back and relax while being surrounded by rainforest and the sound of tropical birds. Family run since it opened, you will find personal touches and a welcoming feel throughout the hotel.

If relaxing by the pool is not your thing, explore the trail around the hotel. Your location also makes it easy to take off for a day of adventure, and the tour desk can recommend a number of activities that are perfect for families. Join a guided tour to learn more about chocolate, bananas, bats, frogs, or pineapples.

There are also ecological tours where you can see stunning wildlife such as iguanas, alligators, monkeys, and more. For the more adventurous type, you can go white water rafting, repelling down a canyon, mountain biking, eco-hiking, or kayaking. The great thing about the majority of these activities is they are within a 15 to 20 minute drive from the hotel.

Whether you spend your time exploring the surrounding area, reading a book on your private balcony, or chilling by the outdoor pool, you can end the day with a delicious meal at the on-site restaurant. With a focus on Costa Rican and Mediterranean food, try popular dishes such as tortillas palmeadas, casados, and gallo pinto. Enjoy your meal with a specialty cocktail from the bar.

You can feel good about staying at Hotel El Bambú because it is focused on protecting the environment. From using resources sustainably and making use of locally sourced food for its restaurant, the goal is to do as little damage to the surrounding environment as possible. Of the 40 rooms, 25 of them are situated in a secondary forest, allowing you to enjoy the sounds of nature in a warm and comforting environment.

If you are a history lover, ask the staff about how the hotel came to be and notice the bamboo tree, for which the hotel is named for, located in the lobby. With its location, convenient amenities, and inviting atmosphere, Hotel El Bambú is the perfect getaway for couples on their honeymoon, families, or solo travelers who want to experience all Costa Rica offers.
