Welcome to Conga

A small hotel with a big Caribbean heart

Conga Boutique Hotel is a 17-room Afro-Caribbean-inspired boutique hotel set in a jungle garden in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, on Costa Rica’s southern Caribbean coast, within walking distance of the town and Playa Cocles.

Palm-thatch roofs made with Indigenous communities of Talamanca, masks hand-carved by Indigenous Costa Rican artisans, art that celebrates Puerto Viejo’s Afro-Caribbean story, and furniture built from local laurel wood. Mornings begin with an à-la-carte breakfast in the garden; afternoons end by the pool with the sound of the jungle.

The Conga concept

Made by hand, rooted here

Conga’s identity began with a single idea from our brand story: the vital cell of the human being, convergence. A place where people, nature and the cultures of the Caribbean coast meet.

  • Afro-Caribbean soul

    The art at reception celebrates El Día del Negro, the day Costa Rica honors its Afro-descendant people and culture.

  • Indigenous craft

    Masks hand-carved by Indigenous Costa Rican artisans in the rooms, and palm-thatch roofs made with Indigenous communities of Talamanca.

  • Local wood, local hands

    Beds, daybeds and desks built from laurel wood by carpenters from our own community.

The jungle checks in too

Our garden is part of the forest. Guests write about resident sloths in the trees, toucans in the branches and tiny poison-dart frogs along the paths.
