10Best Says

Far from the madding crowds of Puerto Viejo de Limon a few kilometers to the north, this beachfront resort hotel is quiet except for the sounds of nature: waves crashing on beautiful Playa Chiquita and howler monkeys having fun in the jungle that surrounds the grounds. Remote doesn't mean without amenities, and this place strives to please even the pickiest of customers- you'll find your every need met at this hospitality oriented hotel; the exquisite beachfront grounds are ideal for wedding celebrations, and the individual cabins are perfect for honeymoon escapes, although Almonds & Corals is family-friendly, too, with plenty to keep the little ones entertained.

Address:

Playa Chiquita, near the Manzanillo Gandoca Wildlife Refuge
