Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Jaguar, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request a room on the second floor or higher, as you'll avoid the street noise from the main road. The first floor rooms may be noisier due to the hotel's proximity to the street and potential foot traffic.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Be aware that rooms near the elevator may experience some noise from the lift's operation, but this is generally a minor issue.

🪟

Best views

As the hotel is located in Cahuita, you can enjoy views of the surrounding rainforest or the Caribbean Sea, depending on the room's orientation. Rooms on the higher floors may have a better view of the ocean.

😴

Quietest floors

The second floor and above are likely to be the quietest, given the hotel's layout and location.

🔊 Noise notes

Be mindful of potential noise from the nearby street and the hotel's service entrance, which may be used by staff and delivery personnel.

Insider tips

Take advantage of the hotel's proximity to the beach by asking for a room with a Caribbean Sea view. This will allow you to wake up to the sound of the waves. If you plan to spend time in Cahuita town, consider parking your car at the hotel and walking or taking a taxi to the town center, as the hotel is within a short walk.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

3 min · Every 30–60 minutes · 05:30 – 19:00

💡 The bus runs the coastal road to Puerto Viejo and stops near the hotel's turn-off. Tell the driver 'Hotel Coco' and they'll drop you at the entrance. Buy a prepaid card at the Cahuita grocery store for easier payment.

🚕
Private Airport Transfer $120

Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) → Hotel Caribbean Coconut

180 min · On request · 24/7 with pre-booking

💡 Book a shared shuttle instead if you're on a budget — Caribe Shuttle runs SJO to Cahuita for around $55 per person. The private taxi is faster but potholes slow you down either way.

🚕

Cahuita bus stop or town centre → Hotel Caribbean Coconut

5 min · On demand · 06:00 – 21:00 generally

240 min · Daily: 6am, 8am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm · 05:00 – 18:00

🚕
Private Airport Transfer 40 USD

Limón International Airport (LIO) → New Caribean Point Hotel, Cahuita

60 min · On demand, pre-arranged · 06:00–20:00

🚕
Shared Airport Shuttle 80 USD

San José Airport (SJO) → New Caribean Point Hotel, Cahuita

240 min · On demand, book in advance · 07:00–22:00
