Accommodation

Lanna Ban Hotel presents nine spacious bungalows, including six with direct ocean views and three double bungalows basking in lush garden surroundings. Each single bungalow boasts a queen size bed, accommodating up to three guests in 50 square meters of space. Bathrooms are finished in imported marble, adding a touch of luxury to the natural experience.

Garden and Nature

The hotel's grounds are meticulously landscaped with a mix of Costa Rican vegetation and specially imported Thai plants. Guests can enjoy the sight of the aquatic lotus flowers blooming in the front garden's fishpond, showcasing a characteristic aspect of Thai culture. Such diverse flora enhances the natural charm of the Lanna Ban Hotel.

Proximity and Location

Located just 2 kilometers from Puerto Viejo, Lanna Ban Hotel offers guests peaceful surroundings while remaining close to rich Caribbean culture. The area boasts crystalline beaches and a captivating blend of Latin, Afro-Caribbean, and indigenous Bribrí culture. This accessibility allows guests to easily experience local restaurants, shops, and activities.

Local Activities

Puerto Viejo provides a diverse array of activities, ranging from horseback riding along Playa Cocles to snorkeling in the marine trails of Cahuita National Park.

Comfort and Climate

Bungalows are elevated about two meters from the ground, promoting optimal sea breeze circulation to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Breakfast in the gardens brings you face-to-face with local wildlife, from toucans to agoutis, before you even leave the property. It's a well-located and friendly place for a relaxed stay.”
