We were lucky to call this beautiful place home for 10 days. The place is clean and had everything we needed. The host was extremely responsive and checked in frequently. Location is great, very close to town making it easy to walk everywhere. Friendly neighbours too! Highly recommend this property!
The property was in the perfect location and this was our third time in Puerto Viejo!
When we return again we will definitely be staying here.
We love how secure it was having a car and all.

What makes this property unique
What makes the Colibri EL experience truly unique is our commitment to sustainability. From biodegradable soaps and shampoos to the beautiful pluvial canal builded to help the rain water flow naturally without eroding the soil we’re dedicated to safeguarding our corner of paradise. You’ll be surrounded by a tropical garden of herbs, fruit trees, and medicinal plants that attract a colorful array of birds. And, unusual for the area, we offer purified water, so you can enjoy fresh, cold water directly from the sink tap.
