The staff here is absolutely incredible! Everyone was so helpful and kind. Definitely want to give a shout out to Jessica and Timateo who were amazing! The breakfast was great. Lunches and dinners were delicious. They have a beautiful area to dine in, multiple bars, cool fire pit, lots of little nooks and crannies to chill in, and they are right on the beach, you can order right from the beach and receive your food and drinks without leaving Paradise, which is absolutely phenomenal. Definitely worth the stay, will be back next time I'm in Costa Rica.

Food was wonderful and the staff were super nice and professional. The mattresses were a bit hard for older bones but they were not terrible or anything. Shower was lovely. It is the type of place where we would go back. Cocktails were a bit lighter than we are used to but were still tasty. Grounds had lovely gardens and it felt calm and special sitting outside.

Room was comfortable and spacious. Resort was far enough away from most everyone else but close enough to be convenient to the next village. It was a LONG drive from the airport.

This property has always been a favorite place for me to visit. The staff is excellent and I was thrilled where the bartender remembered my name, which is difficult to pronounce. I felt relaxed and safe. I liked the space that my suits offered at the Brisas. My only regreet is that there was no fridge. However, this did not prevent me from returning on my next trip to Puerto Viejo.

It was an overall great stay. The beach is so close in comparison to huge resorts. The food is great but unfortunately the kitchen does close early. You need to find places to eat or stock up on snacks if it’s after 9:00. The staff is great!!!!! Make sure to check if your room has air conditioning. Ours did not have one but our stay was in October which is considered their winter. It rained at night which helped keep the room cool. I can’t imagine staying there without an air conditioner in the summer time. It would truly be miserable. Other than that it is a great place with a wonderful staff! I will definitely go back.

The place was beautiful and relaxing and the staff were very nice and friendly. What I didn't like was how some of the rooms had AC and a TV and others didn't and there was no form of entertainment. The food was excellent but I felt there should be more than one meal included in your stay not just breakfast and if breakfast was the only meal included you should not have to pay extra for more.

Pros: conveniently located beach front, staff are great, the landscaping is really beautiful Cons: your experience will vary widely depending on which room you are in. We stayed in 3 areas: ocean room, villa 2, and the las brisas apartment down the beach from the main property. The ocean room gets very hot--it does not have AC and is like a sauna during the day. The villa was lovely--you have a private pool, the space includes a kitchen and great AC. The las brisas apartment was terrible--it was moldy, dingy, and has a bad sewer smell. Out of all the rooms, the las brisas apt was the very worst--we didn't actually book it, the hotel put us there after they gave the room we actually booked away to someone else.

We are a retired couple. Banana Azul’s staff couldn’t have been more accommodating throughout our stay. On a daily basis many staff members restated their desire to provide whatever we desired and to make our stay even more enjoyable. Morning coffee set up just outside our cottage & a full complimentary breakfast of choices was fantastic. They even offer laundry services. We loved our visit and hope to return.
