I have been reading these forums and they are really helping me plan my trip to Costa Rica. My husband and I (early 30's) are coming in October and want to stay on the Caribbean side. We are looking at the Puerto Viejo area. We are looking to stay on or within walking distance to a beach where we can swim. We really like snorkeling and kayaking and other water recreation. We are also looking at doing some hiking and seeing the wildlife in the area.

From what I have been reading here Bananna Azul is very highly rated and it looks like that is in Puerto Viejo. I also see recommendations for Korrigan Lodge in Punta Uva and Cahuita seems recommended asWe just returned from a visit to the area. We split our time between La Costa de Papito in Cocles - closer to Puerto Viejo, and Pachamama at Punta Uva. As for lodging, we much preferred Pachamama of the two. Puerto Viejo was a really nice little town - we had heard it was a little rough, but didn't find it to be that way at all. Keep in mind, of course, that we didn't stay there and didn't go there at night - but during the day we really enjoyed it.
