Can't quite get the hang of using a keyboard again!! The new BriBri village was great. Got water to the centre of the village. At the fiesta last night we found out that not only have we provided the school and village with potable water but we have saved the school because the ministry of health was going to close it because of its poor water supply. So everybody at Soki was delighted with our efforts and gave us a good send off with lots of ChiCha.
We are now in P Viejo, having just taken the stuents to Manzanillo to see the coral reef. Inti found a great lodge for us quite cheap because the recession has really hit tourism here (in CR generally) and may places are closing down. The students are out trying to find somewhere for tonights meal. They have been advised to go to Lydias as this is the best place for careabean food. Lets hope they dont choose pizza this t

This trip was very last-minute for us. A friend had this trip planned and when her travel buddy backed out at the last-minute she sent us an invite. How could we say, no? Plus, I never do things last-minute so when I do, I feel proud of myself. So off we went, Carla, Reese, Doug and I to the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica to a small town called, Puerto Viejo near the Panama border. The town was quite unique, attracting residents from all over Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. The accommodations were simple and clean. The highlight being the hammocks on the deck and the host dogs, Ozzie and Elvis. The low-light being, no hot water, zip zilch zero.
Le Cameleon (Puerto Viejo)

The Cameleon would be an excellent choice for your honeymoon and addresses all the points you just outlined.
I think I would find it hard to compare Puerto Viejo to any state that you might be used to. It is really apples to oranges. Having not been to Vieques, it would be hard to say. But having been to Puerto Rico, I lean to thinking that Vieques would be somewhat comparable.
The Cameleon property is very secure without feeling like a prison. The beach is a short walk across the street and apart from the usual stuff of not leaving your valuables unattended, you should be fine.

Yes, Costa Rica is a paradise. It is a great place to visit for history, art, food, beaches, beauty of both men, women and children and Nature.
It is a vacation spot and a Life spot. There are animals galore, Volcanoes, rain forests, cloud forests (Bet you never heard of that before), the Pacific and the Caribbean and prices are generally fair and moderate.

In May, in a small coastal village near Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, Heidi Dietrich studied at the Samasati Yoga Retreat Center with 20 other students from all over the world to earn her accreditation as a yoga instructor.
Returning to Charlevoix, Dietrich established Darma and Grace Yoga.
“Yoga is bringing together the body, mind and spirit,” Dietrich said. “I think people come to yoga for many reasons. For some, it’s relaxation; for others, it’s for added flexibility or for the physical exercise. And for some, it’s spiritual.”
Dietrich completed the required 200 hours of training through the Yoga Alliance, an international organization that provides support services and yoga teacher certification.

Last Saturday we went to Rolf & Juana's home for a visit & barbecued lomita. Before sunset I took a photo of the chestnut-headed oropendula nests in a laurel tree in their back yard. The larger Montezuma oropendula lives here as well. You can see bananas & other fruit trees growing on the hillside. We had great food and great a time.

Manuel Antonio vs Puerto Viejo

It is a bit of apples to oranges as they are definitely different places. Puerto Viejo is less developed and would would be ideal for more adventurous type travelers who are looking to really experience tropical jungle/beach type of environment.
Accommodation on Caribbean side tends to be a bit more rustic and less North Americanized, For some that is great... But for others, that is a total drawback.As for cultures, the Caribbean has quite a bit more diversity in types of people that live there then Manuel Antonio.
As far as beaches go... Caribbean is basically one long beach which stretches from Panama to Nicaragua. The beaches south of Puerto Viejo tend to be most popular with their whiter sand colour.
If you looking for a total "sun vacation", Puerto Viejo or Caribbean side would not be for you. Then again, you might rethink Costa Rica as your choice

Costa Rican Caribbean Paradise

Costa Rica is one of Central America’s most popular tourist destinations. However, a vast majority of the country’s tourism buzz comes from its West Coast. Resorts dot the Pacific coastline of this long, thin country. People could be forgiven for thinking that Costa Rica doesn’t even have a Caribbean coast.
One of these alternatives to the West Coast is Puerto Viejo, a laid-back (some might label it charming) village with all the trappings of a great resort area: a picturesque collection of beaches lined with lush rainforest, airy restaurants and bars, and - best of all – reasonable prices on hotels.
In addition to beaches, Puerto Viejo also has adopted some...

Great Escape Tree House Lodge Punta Uva If You Can Afford It

In no time I found this gorgeous hideaway, too beautiful not to share...
The Tree House Lodge is situated on 10 acres of oceanfront property in Punta Uva, on the Caribbean coast. The complex is made up of four separate houses, each with their own private beach. The houses all have a handcrafted feel, but perhaps the most distinguishing features are the bathrooms; One houses a 100 year-old tree growing in the center of it, another is a whopping 800 square feet with a sea-horse jacuzzi! And no surprise here, the lodge is built out of sustainable woods, with many of the fallen trees hauled out of the jungle by oxen. Now, if I could only afford it.
