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.

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.

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.
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...

The town of Puerto Viejo was about a half-mile’s walk down the beach from our cabin nestled in the forest. Dirt roads intertwined and created paths through town. Most of the natives walk or ride their bicycles, and often with bare feet. I thought back to industrial America and back home in Florida where AC isn’t a luxury, but a necessity. I remembered all the cars packed bumper to bumper on the highway during rush-hour traffic. I recalled the countless number of banks and grocery stores I pass on my way to work in the United States.

We arrived at Puerto Viejo yesterday afternoon after an extended bus ride - I love the feeling of this place - it´s a bit touristy, but really beachy and rasta , chill chill. We went for Mexican last night and all took surfing lessons early this morning - by 11am, most of us were catching waves and standing on the boards. We were going to rent bikes and explore for waterfalls but, to our dismay, were met with torrential rain this afternoon, so most of us spent our afternoons either sleeping or reading in hammocks, which really, I cannot complain about....
Puerto Viejo Costa Rica (The Sun Also Rises)

Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Right... rant warning. I've always had a strange desire to test myself by being washed up on a desert island, but I fear that my skills at survival would be no match for a lack of will. ..As I walked along a trail I recognised several fruit trees, taro roots (which are a great form of jungle carbs but need to be cooked or they will poison you), and a couple of useful trees for making bows or shelters. But I couldn't stretch out the work-dodging for ever, and I needed to rush back to the toilet again anyway! I've completely lost my appetite and fear I insulted Selina by not eating her lunch burritos. After that I had to lay down and felt so weak I couldn't bring myself to leave my bed. And it was raining heavily. And the dogs had had diarrhoea all over the porch. And the cat had puked on the sofa. And I ran out fags the day before yesterday. Considered a 3 hour

It seems that buyers have been plunking down large sums of money on the internet to buy lots in what appears to be a non-existent subdivision development in the Margarita-Sixaola area.

Trade a little luxury for adventure and low prices in Puerto Viejo

Rain-forest zip-lining. White-water rafting. Sea kayaking. Surfing, hiking, snorkeling.
The lengthy list of outdoor activities posted at Banana Azul, a beachside lodge just outside this Caribbean coastal town, would please even the most jaded adventure traveler.
But Melani Gordon, 31, an Internet marketing entrepreneur from San Diego, is ready for a break.
“It’s hammock time,” she says, grabbing paperbacks and heading toward the palm trees beside a nearly deserted Playa Negra.
Indeed, chilling out — albeit amid crashing surf and seaside jungles rife with noisy howler monkeys — remains the primary draw for visitors to the reggae-infused towns that line Costa Rica’s southeastern shore.

In my opinion, you will on the Caribbean side, find the best beaches just south of Puerto Viejo. Hiking, surfing and snorkelling are great depending on when you are planning to go.
The Puerto Viejo area is a funny and very relaxed mix of backpackers and more luxury orientated tourists and has a lot of marvellous places to stay and good restaurants.
You may look into a combination of Arenal volcano and Tortuguero and Puerto Viejo.
