Overall Ratings & Reviews Umami Hotel - Adults Only

People are very clean and and their service is really good

The atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing. The staff that I encountered seemed to be devoted to making sure that the guests were satisfied.

Clean place, beautiful pool, helpful staff. Quiet but right by everything in town

Staff was so helpful, especially for booking transportation and excursions. Felt safe the entire stay, pool and breakfast were a great plus!

Umami was such a wonderful boutique hotel. The staff was so awesome and giving. The hotel itself was perfect for my solo trip. The middle of town and a short walk to the beach or several restaurants and markets. I especially liked the fact that you could interact with locals and not only tourists and it was only a tuk tuk ride away to really nice beaches further down the coast. So looking ready for my return to CR and will def be staying here!

This property has beautifull gardens and the common areas are extremely clean. The pool was amazing and they clean it every day.The daily breakfast was great and with variety. Overall a great stay.

very nice hotel; very good standard and very friendly staff.. easy parking and rooms are very nicely designed

Boutique hotel that is central to everything. The spa is not a full service spa as you would expect however, the services received were great.

Excellent location, just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. The staff were fantastic, and the breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend booking one of the rooms with a private sun bed by the pool for an extra touch of relaxation.

Umami is a gorgeous garden hotel! We loved our suites. The decor is just stunning. The staff is courteous and kind. Breakfast tasted amazing! We loved the rice and beans. The parking is minimal. However using bikes, a tuk tuk, or walking is the best way to get around this jungle beach town. Bring earplugs because the birds and other lodgings in the area may wake you up. As a Jamaican, I loved our culture mixed in. We loved Old Habour aka Puerto Viejo! We will definitely go back and stay at Umami again.

Starting with the Breakfast, excellent!! Their rice and beans should win a award and I am Jamaican so that is definitely a compliment. Best hotel in the area and you must go to eat at Lcangrejo Rojo. Caribbean seafood. Chef Larry is 5 star.

We enjoyed our stay. It's an intimate boutique hotel with modern amenities. Breakfast was great. The hotel is within walking distance of the beach, shops and restaurants

We were very comfortable

Really nice place in puerto viejo, close to everything but away from the noise from the main road. Great choice for a couple and a great and big breakfast.

Umami was very conveniently located just a few blocks from the main strip of Puerto Viejo. It was quiet, comfortable, with wonderful staff. Would recommend!

Everything perfect Tony is the man!!!

We stayed 3 nights at Umami in Puerto Viejo. The hotel is lovely, quiet and set back from the main road through the town but still only a 5min stroll to the seafront. Room itself was clean and modern with AC. Breakfast was typical Costa Rican and served by the pool each morning which was great. Free parking right outside. I’d certainly return to the hotel and only have good things to say about our time there. One advice I’d give is to avoid the sister hotel’s restaurant (Num at Namu) - it’s overpriced, quite basic and has no atmosphere and eat in the town itself.

The hotel grounds ,the staff, the location and the breakfast was all great. We had a premium room. The shower is the problem. There is no glass around it, so by the time you finish there is a flood on the bathroom floor, Now you get to stand in water and brush your teeth ,shave ext. then you track water around the rest of the room. I wish the owners would try taking a shower in this room and see how they like it.

The Umami is a wonderful oasis in Puerto Viejo. Very nice room (no moisturizer provided tho) and the shower was nice. The staff is VERY helpful and would stay there again if we were in the area

I hope the owner appreciates how far they go to please their guests.
