Tucked in between tropical flowers in a big patio against a background of lush tropical vegetation and right in front of the Caribbean Sea are the Chimuri Beach Cottages. Away from everything and still only a 20 minute stroll along the beach to the village with its restaurants, shops, bars, etc.

 

The Small CottageThis beach cottage (#1), at right (click image for interior view), is the smallest one, equipped with a double bed, a dining area, a kitchenette with a small fridge, electric stove, pots, dishes and kitchen sink, a bathroom with warm-water shower, and a porch with hammock.


Cottage #2Beach cottage #2, left, features two floors. Upstairs is a sleeping room with a queen-size bed (can be separated into two twin beds if needed) and a small porch with hammock. Downstairs has an equipped kitchen with fridge, gas stove, pots, dishes and kitchen sink, dining area, bathroom with warm-water shower and a spacious porch. There is also an additional twin bed.

The 3rd CottageThe third cottage, right (click image for interior view), features two sleeping rooms upstairs, one with a double bed and the other one with two twin beds; downstairs we have a kitchen equipped with a fridge, a gas stove, kitchen sink, dishes and pots and a spacious semi-open living room/ porch with dining area and hammock and a bathroom with warm-water shower.


All three beach houses are built in typical Caribbean style in tropical hard wood, painted in lively colors with white "ginger bread" trimmings. We are located right on Puerto Viejo's magical black sand beach about 1.5 km from the village center. Close by is a store for basic provisions. We like to maintain a private and a tranquil atmosphere.
 Only about a 10 minute walk up the beach begins the wetland area Río Carbón which stretches all the way up to the border of Cahuita National Park, another 30 minute walk, as its buffer zone and a birder’s paradise.
  All cottages feature wall fans, mosquito nets and wireless high speed Internet access.

How to get to the Chimuri Beach Cottages

Puerto Viejo is located on the Southern Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica.

If you are coming from San José by direct public bus (leaving S.J. daily from "Terminal del Caribe" at 6:00am, 10am, 12:00pm, 2:00pm, 4:00pm) or by private vehicle, have the driver let you off at the first "Playa Negra" bus stop just as the highway meets the beach in front of the "Pulperia Violeta" 1 km before the village. Take the road to the west (left as you view the beach) about 300 meters. We are right next to Cabinas Black Sands.

For private transportation we recommend the bilingual driver José Valverde. He'll pick you up at any hour at the airport or hotel and bring you to our doorstep. To make arrangements call ++506 8844-2109 or email americanatravelcr@yahoo.com
