"I went with my family to Hotel Banana Azul and we loved it. I loved sitting on the patio in the hammock and relaxing while gazing at the ocean. Our room was great and we even could connect our iPad to the internet while we where there. I would recommend this hotel to anybody who is going to visit Puerto Viejo."
