Stefan and Leon were very friendly and welcoming hosts. The breakfast was fresh and creative every morning and definitely kept us full for most of the day which also saved us money. The location is private but just a short drive to Puerto Viejo with several beautiful beaches to stop by along the way. The mosquito net helped but I suggest remembering big spray because it's a beautiful open air plan space and they do get in! We especially enjoyed the outdoor shower/bathroom and the 2nd outdoor shower to rinse off sand after the beach. We look forward to staying again some day!

The place was really nice and Leon (the owner) took care of every detail. The breakfast was delicious.

Everything — very close access to the beach, feeling like you are in a treehouse, waking up to beautiful jungle sounds and light streaming through open walls, outdoor showering, the decor, the breakfast, the hosts, the conversation… wonderful!

Mar Verde gives you a chance to experience a tropical jungle up close. The jungle plants surround the elevated terrace; we had a sloth peacefully living in the trees about 6 ft away, many varieties of birds singing, and the sound of howler monkeys nearby although we didn’t see them. The groomed medicinal/botanic gardens are exquisite and include a pet peacock and peahen, a couple of chickens (those eggs are fresh!), and the welcoming dogs that also provide security. The bed is very comfortable, the decor is functional and beautiful, and it is a delight to shower under the sky in total privacy. This is a wonderful, memorable, unique place to stay but it is the charming hosts that make it superb. Stefan and Leon prepare exquisite breakfasts each morning and you get to enjoy the artistic atmosphere that two very creative people have assembled over 30 years. We’ll never forget them and their wonderful hospitality.

Stefan & Leon are so lovely. The location is beautiful and we LOVED the Playa Chiquita beach in just 5 minutes walk. It's a bit far from Puerto Viejo but that means you get peace and quiet!

The breakfast was spectacular! Leon' is definitely a 5 star gourmet chef! Still want to know his recipe for hot sauce! Yummy! It's off the grid, but close enough to great restaurants, the beach and shopping in downtown Puerto Viejo! Also, the other best thing is getting around Puerto Viejo in the local Tut Tut's!

Living without walls in a living jungle. The owners were very welcoming and great cooks with big dogs and peacocks chocolate farm tour at Carribeans was great. Also snorkeling up nirth of us was good even though we couldn't swim, because a storm caused deadly rip currents, off the local beaches. The hosts helped us by booking the trip.

Beautiful, nicely furnished lodge surrounded by the tropical forest, so be ready to be woken up to the sound of animals in the morning. We felt connected to the nature and open shower on the big terrace was surely an interesting experience. The mosquito net above the bed is included so you feel protected even when the lodge's doors and windows are open. We were impressed by the quality of the breakfast that Leon prepared for us. Every day he cooked delicious dishes (multiple courses). Felt like a 5 star restaurant :) Leon is a very friendly and helpful host. Definitely recommended! Lodge is located walking distance to Playa Chiquita - very nice beach.
