The Shawandha Lodge provided a truly delightful stay for seniors like me. The hotel's decoration was charming, with an artistic fusion of hardwoods, bamboo, and palm that created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The open living room was a perfect place to relax, with comfortable seating and a sliding door that overlooked the beautiful pool and garden. It was accessible and easy to navigate, making it ideal for seniors to enjoy their vacation without any difficulties.

I wished the children working there could have provided more assistance and guidance specifically tailored for seniors.

We got great value for our money at Shawandha Lodge. The room was beautiful and cozy, and the location was perfect, surrounded by the unique vegetation of the rainforest and just a short walk to the stunning Playa Chiquita. The staff treated us incredibly well, providing a warm welcome and always going out of their way to help.

The breakfast offerings could be improved with more variety and fresher ingredients.

Excellent service, provided food in rain. Beautiful gardens, private patios with hammocks. Lots of wildlife. Wonderful sounds of the jungle, close to stunning beach. Cool teepees, clean pool. Quiet, helpful staff.

For our recent vacation in Puerto Viejo, we stayed at Shawandha, a beautiful property nestled in the jungle just steps away from the beach and town. The jungle setting provided a unique and special experience, with daily sightings of toucans, howler monkeys, and other wildlife. The comfortable and clean room, along with the friendly hotel staff, made our stay even more enjoyable. The delicious food at the restaurant and the refreshing pool were added bonuses to our wonderful time at Shawandha.

The location of the hotel was great - close to the beach, market, and restaurants. We also enjoyed the outdoor areas and the beautiful grounds. The breakfast at the hotel was delicious and we loved the water fountain. The hotel was conveniently located near the Jaguar Rescue Centre and other attractions in the area.
