There was only 1 good hotel, now there are 2.
The new one includes a restaurant as well.
Two are good, One is okay, and One is a dive.
(and don't forget the Puerto Armuelles B & B - which is good)

Heavenly's Hotel is located in the San Vicente neighborhood of Puerto Armuelles.
The Ocean Is Just Across A Small Dirt Road From The Hotel
The Tsunami Inn is a small hotel run by 2 expats, Scott and Bob.
This attractive hotel is centered around its pool.
This arrangement all faces the beach, which is just across the street.
Tsunami Inn is located in the San Vicente neighborhood of Puerto Armuelles.
Coco's Place is located off the main road on the outskirts of town.
While the hotel is pleasant enough, their beds and pillows are not.
Because of its location, it is a pretty easy place to catch a taxi to both downtown and to the beach.
The hotel is located at the corner of the main road and the road that leads to the best beaches in Puerto Armuelles.
For instance, the beach in the Corazon de Jesus neighborhood is 2 miles away and the beach at the Pez de Oro neighborhood is 1 mile away from Coco's Place.
Coco's Place has a swimming pool, but it is under repair and not currently being used.
Pension Balboa Is A Dive In A Good Location
I really cannot recommend Pension Balboa. It is a dive.
Not that it matters, because it is almost always full anyway.
Many of the workers at the PTP, stay there by the month.
About 6 years ago, my family and I stayed there twice. The old woman and her husband who ran it were delightful.
Their beds, when we stayed there, were terrible. The bed sagged radically in the middle as soon as we laid down. It was as if the mattress was tucking us into bed, with itself.
Sadly, the old couple who owned it have died. I believe their daughter runs it now. I have not met her.
Pension Balboa has a great location in downtown Puerto.
In fact it is right above a bar and a small grocery store. I don't remember noise from the bar being an issue while we stayed there.
