Very Thai feeling rooms, spacious and clean. 2 x double beds. We needed an extra bed which the staff sorted out quickly and efficiently. Breakfast was lovely. Free coffee between 4 and 6 pm. The pool was awesome, and the grounds were lovely. Over the road from the beach and next door to the Jaguar rescue centre. 

Relaxing vibe

Great stay in the bungalows.  No a/c but was very cool with the ceiling fan. Reception staff were brilliant and so helpful. Wonderful al fresco breakfast and nice pool area. Three of four restaurants and a mini market within walking distance. No fridge but they provide a cooler and ice. Unlimited free water which is good as you cannot drink the tap water. The towels/ sheets may look a little yellow but this is just the minerals in the water.  

Great experience - recommended. Without a car it is difficult to get around but the hotel does hire bikes

We stayed here 2 nights and with hindsight we should have stayed here all our nights in this region. This is a fabulous instagrammable Thai style resort. We had one of the bungalows next to the pool. Those 2 are preferable above those facing the street. The only thing missing in the bungalow is a refrigerator, also because there is no restaurant nor bar on the premises. 
The beds are good, the bathroom big enough, and although no airconditioning the 2 fans did a good job (at least in this less warmer rainy season).
Breakfast is good. You can ask for refills as much as you want.
Friendly staff and the garden is very well maintained.
Tip: go here in person to get the best rates. We did and got twenty dollars off the price per night.

If you want to be outside Puerto Viejo go for this

+ Great and helpful staff, close to the beach, good breakfast, nice pool area

- rooms way too dark (even with all windows and doors wide open), street right in front of the room (waaaaay too many noises, even with earplugs!), lots and lots of bugs in the bathroom and also in the room, bedsheet was dirty (we had to ask two times to get it changed), nothing on the windows to stop the mosquitos from getting inside

Bug party

This is an interesting and unique place to stay. We were there for 2 nights and appreciated the Tibetan character of the cabina, the many statues and flora on the grounds,and just the warm and comfortable vibe. The cabina was in the Tibetan style, simple but very comfortable.
The location is great…about a mile from the craziness of puerto viejo, but close enough to get there quickly. Beach right across the street. Breakfast was simple but still very nice. Service was excellent.
I would like to single out Augustin at the front desk. He was amazing. Warm, engaging, thoroughly wanting to please us and he clearly went above and beyond to do so. Just a really sweet and nice person.
We would definitely stay there and highly recommend the hotel. Also the cabinas, which I recommend, made the experience not feel like a “hotel.”

Unique place to stay

At Lanna Ban Hôtel Amalia has welcomed us like good known friends. The stuff was very kind and helpful in every way. During breakfast you can watch the birds, at night you can see frogs and the beautiful lotus flowers. The hotel is good located and highly recommended!

Felt like home

A very well kept property, with very little amenities, but great service. Simple but elegante and unique property. One of a kind in the Limón area, I am pretty sure of that. The rooms and bungalows are spacious and clean, with great gardens and pool area.

Simple elegance! Unique!

The hotel is very Zen, breakfast was awesome.

Disliked  · Poor to null comunication between staff caused us to be locked out until midnight the first night. Agustin apologized and offer a bottle of wine that never came. Wifi in the suites was non existence. No cable. Weird smell in the pool. The price offered by whataspp didnt match the one on booking, end up paying $305 instead of $310 but with no extra matresses included as promised.

Nope, nope nope.

The bungalows were amazing, great pool and the beach is crossing the street. Jimmy's work is amazing, he arranged everything for us and it was great! The breakfast was good with eggs, croissants and fruits. Everything was very clean and well managed. 

Thank you very much, Jimmy!

Awesome!

We came when it was dark and it seemed like they did not expect us. Needed to check if the room was ready! At sight it seemed very nice and exotic - wooden cabins with sea view. But at a closer look everything looked dirty. The towels and sheets were stained. 

After the first Night there was a dead rat outside the cabin. The second Night we heard mice or rats at the balcony and our neighbors have had a mouse or rat inside their cabin - which has bitten in a backpack and bags with chips and coffee.
We asked to be moved and also contacted the agency who booked our trip.

We were moved to the suites - which were better - but still not clean. There where mold on the Walls and it smelled like an Old summerhouse.
One of the women at the place were very pissed at us and tried to ignore us the rest of the stay because we contacted the agency. The rest of the staff was very nice and helpful.

The breakfast was very ordinary and not very exiting.

At the room there is a note that you should remember to lock the Doors when you leave the room - but every Day the cleaning had been the room was unlocked when we returned. Also the cleaning was poor. They did not fill up the toilet paper - we actually ran out. And the beds were poorly made. 

It rained a lot when we were there and the water came through the doors, all over the floor and under our suitcases. 

Additionally, there is a pond outside the suites where frogs migrate at night and the noise is defening. There are several “windows” in both cabins and suites, which are basically cutouts and therefore always open. There’s no mosquito net over these cutouts so bugs, mosquitos, lizards and other smaller animals will get in.
