Black Bamboo is a small hotel with only four rooms. It has a large tropical garden with a variety of flowers and plants, a saltwater pool with beach hammocks and a ranch with a kitchen and tables to eat outdoors. Located very close to the center of town but with a much fresh and quiet environment, you can walk to town or the beaches The rooms are decorated with the smallest detail, with natural elements such as wood, bamboo and with neutral colors that bring calm , elegance and sophistication. The owners live in the establishment, we care that guests have an exclusive treatment and can enjoy their holidays in the best possible way.
Hello, I`m Nadia and I have lived in Puerto Viejo with my family since November 2018. It took us a year to build our dream and now we are very happy to be able to share it with our guests. We love traveling and nature, we recommend many places to visit here in Puerto Viejo or Costa Rica. We do everything that is in our hand to make your stay with us unforgettable so that you never want to leave.
Black Bamboo is located just 10 minutes walk from the center of Puerto Viejo. 5 minutes away you have the Salsa Brava restaurant where you can see the famous wave Salsa Brava and relax or dance to the rhythm of reggae music. Playa Cocles is just a 15-minute walk along a beautiful path next to the sea and the other beaches are very close as well. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe, we know all the neighbors and we ensure that everything is in order.
