Welcome to the lush South Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, area of untold natural riches, unique culture and traditions.

Among the original laid-back caribbean villages of Puerto Viejo and Manzanillo, (in the South Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica), right in front of Cocles Beach (awarded with the Costa Rican Government Blue Flag for clean beaches), an enchanting and serene lodge, in complete harmony with the surrounding tropical rainforest, AZANIA BUNGALOWS.

Exotic thatched roof bungalows surrounded by Tropical Rainforest, just a few steps from the Caribbean sea.

Just a few steps from the Caribbean sea, with the tropical rainforest in background, the spacious and tastefully decorated bungalows are privately set apart amidst lush gardens full of color and natural beauty.

Designed and crafted in a unique style that blends traditional materials, exotic woods and thatched-palm roofs, with a modern building concept, each bungalow has a particular atmosphere. Each one comfortably lodge up to four people, with one queen size bed and two twin size beds, one of them placed in the mezzanine to provide privacy and wonderful spatial flexibility. All decorated with bamboo lamps and furniture, while ceiling fans, large windows with mosquito nets and high peaked roofs allow a refreshing natural air circulation.

Every bungalow comes equipped with a refrigerator, minibar, security box and a softly lit original sauna-style bathroom that allows you to enjoy a shower while admiring the natural surroundings. Its own private deck and hammock out front, invites to relax and enjoy the colorful tropical gardens of the surroundings covered with bromeliads, heliconias, gingers, palms and tropical fruit trees, which interact with a great variety of birds and butterflies, as well as to listen to the different sounds of the jungle or just lie under a bright moonlight and sparkling stars.

Azania now also offers a restaurant where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner under a palm leave rancho.

For enjoying a delightful tropical breakfast, fresh drinks, listen to some music, Direct TV, play games or get some information and advices about tours and activities…a cozy place with fine woods and inviting decoration awaits you…the "Club House / Reception"…built like a typical palm-roof Rancho which reflect in the dimensions of its structure those of the surrounding rainforest.
