Planning a mid February vacation for CR Caribbean coast

Posted by uluckidog 1036 days ago (http://www.tripadvisor.com)

It is hard for me to deal without a/c...but in Puerto Viejo area...if the rooms offer a good fan it...We are planning a two week stay in Costa Rica for 2010. Places we will be visiting include Monteverde, Arenal, and the Osa. Three nights of this trip are planned for the Caribbean coast. My ideal beach stay would be on a secluded beach in a cabin or bungalow type lodging, clear blue water, gentle surf, beautiful landscape, amazing ocean views and friendly hosts. An example of the "feel" I want the lodging to offer would be something similar to Banana Azul. I haven't located many reviews covering the month of February so I would appreciate any help you can offer to determine if we Texans would be comfortable or absolutely miserable without air conditioning. I am mostly concerned about the evenings for sleeping. I hate to risk the experience of an unforgetable location for a/c and then determine that it wasn't necessary after all.

Temperature wise, the days are hot (90's) and the nights are mild (70's). I have stayed down in Puerto Viejo in January and March, but not February (though I do not think that there is much difference). As long as there is high ceilings and adequate ventilation (which Banana Azul has), you should be fine. Azania Bungalows is another good affordable option down there.
