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 de

Cahuita has all the magical charm and rustic beauty of the most mythical tropical paradise. Highlighting the setting are two sprawling beaches. Cahuita is the stereotypical laid-back Caribbean small coastal town, where the pace of life is as fast as the warm ocean breeze!
The Spanish School is located in Cahuita, Talamanca. Cahuita is a tranquil place, just 3 1/2 hours from San Jose by road, 36 Km South of Puerto Limón and 15 Km North of Puerto Viejo.

wake in the morning to the sound of a thousand birds calling you from the garden to watch as the sun rises from the blue-green depths before you, or to come share a ripe banana, papaya or passion fruit from the garden around you.
The first decision of the day is whether to go for a run on an endless and secluded beach, go for a swim, get out your surfboard, or do some yoga on the terrace.
? From your terrace your eyes will be massaged by shades of green and splashed by the natural gaudiness of flowers never allowed by the generous tropics to stop blooming. You can make your coffee without losing sight of the hummingbirds thrusting into the nectar-filled centers of the hibiscus blossoms.
If you need to rest some more, the hammock is just a few steps from the breakfast table.

We are eloping shortly after you guys on August 6 in Playa Langosta. We are using Fernando from Lifetime Digital Imaging as our photographer and so far so good. He has been really great and helpful, for about $2000 we are going to have drift wood with flower arrangements, a photographer, the lawyer (to marry us & do paper work) and and flowers!!! I thought that was a bargain!
By budget, we meant something under a grand. We just want an officiant and that's it.
My bad, I would possibly check with the hotel, alot of times they offer deals. Usually if you just need the officiant and legal stuff taken care of then it is about $700. I am not really sure about where you are staying but I have noticed alot of the hotels on beach offer some sort of deal where they can contact the officiant.

This wonderful beach town on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica holds many surprises. With its laid back attitude and Caribbean life style, you can be assured of a relaxing Costa Rican holiday. Naturally, for those of us who like a more active holiday, Puerto Viejo has it all. Long walks on pristine beaches, experiencing exotic flora and fauna in a wildlife refuge, snorkeling or diving among the many reefs in our crystal clear waters, world-class surfing, mountain biking, kayaking and cultural visits to indigenous peoples.
To see some of the Country’s most beautiful beaches, just head east from Puerto Viejo towards Panama. Somewhere in between you’ll find magestic places like Manzanillo and Punta Uva. ride a bike to the west and you’ll find the small town of Cahuita, which even has it’s own rum distillery, making a delicious coconut flavored rum that makes Malibu taste like

Bagels in Costa Rica?

I have to get up at 4:30am to catch a bus to Puerto Viejo which is in Costa Rica on the Caribbean coast near the border with Panama where I will be for the next few days.Before I begin, this blog probably won't be as interesting as some of the last few because I have not left San Jose since my last blog. But, I know that there are those few out there who would like an update regardless! (And, I of course like sharing, as well all know). Last week, nothing all that exciting happened except a lot of homework, that’s exciting to some people, right? But last weekend I met up with my Cousin Hillary Grey’s friend who is here for the summer. We went to a restaurant called Bagelman’s! Which is most definitely the only bagel place in all of Costa Rica. I had a bagel with cream cheese, lox, and tomato. It was amazing and hit the spot! (It doesn’t compare to Famous, but it was still pretty
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca Costa Rica An Unforgettable Experience

Wanting a different vibe kind of honeymoon in Costa Rica? Check out Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, Costa Rica.
Even though Costa Rica is a small country, you would spot exemplary vacation destinations here. Not to mention the Southern Caribbean Coast that became the heart and soul of the Caribbean coast. It was then connected to the country after making a way going to Puerto Limon. It is one of the last regions to be part of the country and still has its traditional native population, the Afro-Caribbean community and Jamaican descendents. Along with spicy Caribbean dishes, reggae and calypso music all over the town, you would also experience meeting Indian tribes who have been in the region hundred of years ago. In addition, you’ll get mixed up with the Spanish-English dialect that they are using, but still English is their local language. It’s like having two countries in one

Two surfers cycle past me clutching their boards as a local Rastafarian waves them a salute from his spot under a beach palm tree. Waves break on golden sand, backed by a snaking ribbon of slender palms and tropical green foliage - it's a scene you could market as visual Prozac.
It's not hard to see why Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is one of the most popular destinations on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast. The world-class breaks, miles of unmanicured beaches, natural parks and laid-back welcome lure backpackers and surfers alike.

'Are you sure there aren't any crocodiles in this river?" "Pretty sure. At least that's what the taxi driver said." "It wasn't nearly this deep when we crossed the first time." Earlier in the day, we had taken a jeep-taxi from the small town of Smara, Costa Rica, to nearby Playa Buena Vista. Since coming to Costa Rica, I've had a lot of great surfing experiences. I've seen guys ride the infamous Salsa Brava, a deadly reef break in Puerto Viejo and the biggest wave in the country. I've tried my best on some six- to eight-foot waves in Playa Hermosa, and learned that I'm not ready for them. ...

(Photo) This is an Ungaliophis panamensis that was found near cocles, Costa Rica. According to published reports there were only a few documented sitings of this animal in Costa Rica, although the locals I talked to seemed to have seen them before, so not sure how rare they are in the country. This is one of the species we are negotiating with the government to work with. you can learn more about our project at:

We stopped by at this nondescript Puerto Viejo pizza joint. It looked nothing special. We were there during the rainy season, so the town was closed and no tourists really. We found this place open, and had some pizza…. it was great! Here is just a pic of what the native Tica hotties look like there.
San Jose to La Fortuna to the Caribbean Coast

Anyway. We left San Jose in high spirits, excited about the onward journey to a teeny Caribbean town called Puerto Viejo de Talamanca. The bus ride was about 4 hours long and it took us through the mountains that run down the middle of Costa Rica. The next day me and some other people from the group got a bus to another little village called Manzanillo, and spent the day hiking through the jungle there. Our guide was a massive Rasta called Ricky. He grew up in puerto Viejo and knows everything about everything in the jungle - he made a splint and a sling out of a banana plant! I saw various animals, including a fucking massive jumping spider. I didnt like that.
So we left Puerto Viejo, to make our way to Tortuguero - the only way to get there is by a 3 hour boat ride. During the boat ride, we saw the most amazing animals - Caiman, Spider Monkeys, Whit

Beach Reviews (Puerto Viejo)

I dunno who wrote the two reviews above, but I'm gonna differ strongly. We stayed in Cahuita and Punta Uva (south of Puerto Viejo about 15 minutes) in January and found an array of very pretty quite clean beaches. No hassling vendors....the occasional dog (I never saw the "packs of stray dogs". Dark sand north of PV, pale sand farther south and up around Cahuita. the only place I saw much of any trash on the beach is north of Cahuita where driftwood has washed up in piles, but the beach itself was lovely, dark sand, we were there on a sunday "family" day and it was packed with kids, then on monday it was almost abandoned. We only got in the water in cahuita, Punta Uva, Manzanillo and playa chocles and found them all to be easy in and out and not a lot of pulling current. The surf beaches are certainly not for snorkeling or water play but the beaches are still nice.
