Area
Just a few leafy blocks from the pulse of Puerto Viejo yet blissfully tucked away from the late-night energy, Umami Hotel is your modern jungle refuge.

Rooms
Umami’s rooms are a study in quiet luxury: light-filled and clean-lined with wood accents, modern fixtures, and a refined tropical aesthetic. Think plush beds, rainfall showers, sleek tilework, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that blur the line between inside and out. Options range from cozy garden rooms to larger suites with pool views.

Dining
Mornings begin with a made-to-order breakfast on the terrace, where local produce takes center stage. While Puerto Viejo is filled with dining gems, the on-site restaurant at Umami often draws guests back for dinner thanks to its creative Caribbean fusion and craft cocktails that celebrate the region’s flavors.

Wellness & Experiences
The hotel offers in-room and garden spa treatments for guests craving downtime, or you can explore the coastline by bike, book a guided jungle hike, or arrange a visit to the nearby Jaguar Rescue Center. Whether you’re the lounge-by-the-pool type or the adventurous day-tripper, the concierge is ready to curate your ideal itinerary.

Why Book
Design-forward and adults-only, Umami Hotel is the boutique antidote to Puerto Viejo’s more rustic stays. It’s the perfect base for travelers who want to experience the color and character of the Caribbean coast—without giving up modern comforts, calming interiors, or a tranquil night’s sleep. This is grown-up jungle glam, with just the right amount of edge.
