I was on spring break with 4 other girls and we all had the time of our lives in Costa Rica. We stayed at three different hotels throughout the trip and Hotel Totem was by far the best. We had a smooth check in and were welcomed wonderfully. The rooms far exceeded our expectations. We stayed in a suite that had 2 queen beds and also bunk beds. The rooms and decor was amazing. Right outside our room on the balcony we had a private pool and great view of the ocean. Breakfast in the morning was incredible, banana pancakes, egg bakes, fresh fruit..anything imaginable. We used many resources from the hotel as well, such as day trips we took ie. snorkeling in Cahuita, Canopy tour and waterfall in Manzanillo, surf lessons right out side the hotel, Arenal Economical Tour including horseback riding, waterfall, volcano tour, and Baldi Spas. Hotel totem was wonderful and you will not regret your stay!

The staff is super attentive without being intrusive. The location is just a bit remote. Enough to give a relaxed atmosphere, but not so much that you lose out on luxury!
The restaurant is phenomenal!

I've been to Costa Rica many times now and every time we go to Totem Resort in Puerto Viejo. The location is simply the best in the area: it is RIGHT in front of the biggest, cleanest and best beach in the whole area.
Totem Resort has a lovely atmosphere - in fact it is run by an Italian family and this feeling of warmth is everywhere. They are always willing to help yet it is very informal and you'll feel right at home. The food is SUPERB - in Costa Rica it can quite honestly be hard to find good quality food but here the food is as good as any you will find in Italy if not better. Nico the chef is just brilliant.
The rooms are good quality and clean. We stayed in the beachfront suite which was lovely.
In all, a lovely place with a lovely atmosphere in the best location of Puerto Viejo. Highly recommend it.
