Hotel Aguas Claras ©2023 







CASA CORAL



A double celebration of the geology of the Caribbean area of Puerto Viejo, but also of the old Caribbean Victorian style houses that populated this area since the 1990s.



The concept of reuse and recycling, a philosophy that runs through the hotel's comprehensive design promoted by its owner Elizabeth Steinvorth, is an essential part of this house, which is evident in the environment and in the objects strategically arranged in it for its guests.











Most of the objects were intervened, redesigned or transformed by Elizabeth, who in addition to being the owner of the hotel, is a Costa Rican artist and designer.
