Azania Bungalows

Puerto Viejo

Good to Know

Azania Bungalows offers a rustic garden retreat in Puerto Viejo, situated across the street from Playa Cocles. Guests can enjoy intimate bungalows with private terraces or balconies, a refreshing swimming pool, and an on-site restaurant featuring local and international cuisine. While not directly beachfront, the property provides convenient beach access and serves as an ideal base for exploring the Caribbean coast, from bicycle outings to Cahuita National Park trails. It's a midrange, eco-style option perfect for travelers seeking a tranquil atmosphere near the sea.


A garden bungalow across from Cocles

At Azania Bungalows, a terrace in the gardens and a beach across the street make an appealing Caribbean combination. Near Playa Cocles in Puerto Viejo, the rustic bungalows give you a leafy place to return to after time along the coast. The property is not beachfront; crossing the street connects the garden setting with the sea.

A bungalow, terrace and garden hours

Local materials and private terraces or balconies lend the accommodation an intimate character. Leave time to enjoy that outdoor space, then head to the swimming pool when you want another way to cool down. Tropical birds and other wildlife visit the gardens, giving a quiet hour at the bungalow its own interest.

A fan, mezzanine bedroom, mini-fridge and safe are among the bungalow features, giving the rustic setting familiar practical comforts. The Superior Bungalow also has AC, a useful distinction when choosing the accommodation for your stay. After a swim, the lounge offers another place to pause before dinner. Staff can share local recommendations and help with requests, from a bicycle outing into Puerto Viejo to plans for Cahuita’s trails, so you can keep the days relaxed while making them your own.

Dining close to your room

The restaurant draws on local flavors and international cooking, with seafood and tropical fruit alongside vegetarian and vegan choices. A meal on site can make the day feel pleasantly simple: beach time, a swim and dinner without another excursion to organize.

Explore by bicycle or head into nature

Bicycle rentals offer a way to explore Puerto Viejo and its surroundings at your own pace. Cahuita National Park adds trails and wildlife-watching possibilities, while the region’s beaches offer surfing, snorkeling and time by the water. Azania’s energy-saving measures, rainwater collection and recycling programs form part of its approach to caring for this setting.

Choose Azania when you want a bungalow atmosphere near Cocles and space to enjoy the hours between outings. The garden terrace and pool are part of the attraction, with the Caribbean waiting across the road.

I only rate the comfort an 8 because of the lack of air conditioning, which i knew of beforehand. It was okay once we found the fan, which was stored in the loft.

Isabella C.

Nice bungalow, great gardens, lovely staff (although one of the guys , probably very new, was not very competent) - food could have been better, not much choice for vegetarians; internet was sketchy ; but all in all we loved our stay

Superb location, superb setting

Alexandra M.

Very nice hotel with a great garden and nice bungalows. We especially liked the porch. On the downside: the shower boiler broke down on our last night and couldn't be repaired; they rented us a bike with a flat tire.

Sara M.

Beautiful bungalows. Food staff and front desk staff were both very attentive and kind!

This was more than we were expecting and everything was amazing! The location was perfect and the town was great! The bungalows provided the perfect beach getaway!

Bonny S.

Is there an 11 for this rating?? I had a fabulous time at Azania!! The bungalow was stunning. Comfortable and well maintained but rustic and close to nature. The staff were very freindly and helpful. Even though I was travelling by myself I never felt lonely as they were so attentive. The food was delicious and I the value for money was beyond my expectations. I will definitely be back!

Deborah S.

bad wi-fi

Fabienne D.

We loved Azania Bungalows; The staff was very good. I was chocked to have a frog on my showergel. But afterall we could laugh with it. The only thing is that Azania is a bit far from downtown. In the night it was a long distance to walk or bike to Porto Viejo.

Michele R.

I would highly recommend this hotel.

Jennie G.

The staff lack hospitality.
