Trying to give you any advice based on the weather during the month of August is hard...very hard...
My little ones love Manuel Antonio...but also love the low profile of the beaches around Puerto Viejo, Punta Uva, Cocles, Manzanillo...Peace Lodge is partially open...Simple answer I will rather go to Caribbean side...Just buckle up and enjoy the ride in PARADISE!
You know, I just went with my son to Cahuita a little while ago. He's 5 and we found a bunch of things to do that he loved. They have the sloth center, a huge hit for kids. Amazing beaches, and since it's their drier season, you might have a lot less rain and more fun time at the beach....

Totem hotel or Azania (Puerto Viejo)

I stayed at Totem in late March and really enjoyed it. My choice had come down to Totem or Azania or Cariblue. I went with Totem primarily because of the sea/beach view. Azania and Cariblue are very close to the beach, but no view of the water. The view and sound of the crashing waves from the 2nd floor beach suite was fantastic. Decent rooms, very big, good food and nice people. One of my great memories of the trip is the morning breakfast, not so much for the food (although it was ok to good) but more for the fact I could grab a coffee in the restaurant and wander across the road to stand on the deserted beach. Nice way to slowly wake up. Stayed at Azania a year ago... my wife and I and another couple loved it. It had a decent, attractive pretty pool and great simple but fresh breakfasts (fruit, eggs, etc). It is a jungle setting and a 2 minute walk to Cocles Beach (same beach as Tot
The VolunTourist Avoiding the Tourist Traps in a Taxi in Costa Rica

Maybe a brief detour to a river doesn’t seem like much compared to pricey zip-line tours and river rafting, but it remained a highlight of my trip, much like the surf lesson had stuck out in Puerto Viejo the weekend before. The first time I noticed the limp in our taxi driver’s leg, I had grown so accustomed to averting my eyes around local men that I looked away without even realizing it.
We were in La Fortuna, a small town made famous by its active volcano, Arenal, which lures tourists to resort-like hot springs with water slides and wet bars. And the fact that almost everything in La Fortuna is priced in American dollars is a very, very bad sign in terms of cheap travel....

Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica If you Plan on going to Costa Rica .. this is a really great place to Stay...While Iani distracted the snake .. by capturing it .. I courageously took photos from a distance.. Afterwards she chased me around the house with the snake .. I was screaming like a little girl and making threats not to cook or wash her clothes anymore .. nly in Costa Rica can a 4 foot snake fall out of a tree and not make it all the way to the ground because it got caught in a beefy spider web...Iani found Eric-Alfred in the shower .. she thought about putting him outside because he looked undernourished.. but decided that he was a domesticated frog and probably lost his ability to survive in the wild...
Vale la pena on Costa Ricas Caribbean shore part one

Many Costa Rica-bound travelers and most everyone that have perused a Lonely Planet book or website have heard of Puerto Viejo. Air travel is hectic and expensive, often crowded and seems to rarely turn out exactly as planned. The trip from the airport and capital city of San Jose to the Caribe side of Costa Rica makes the airborne leg of the trip seem both insignificant and vale la pena, worth the pain....

Going for 2 days, any hotel suggestions and things to do? My hotel suggestion is Banana Azul located about 1km north of town. Try to get the Red Frog Room if possible. Collin and Roberto are wonderful hosts.
Be sure to make it to the picture-post card beach beach at Punta Uva.
Eat dinner at El Loco Natural and Chili Rojo
Swim under the waterfall on the road to BriBri
Visit the “chocolate lady” and see (and taste) chocolare made from scratch
Hike around Manzanillo
Have a beer or Margarita at El Dorado
Swim in a warm waters of the caribbean

It is a good thing we are going back by boat to Manzanillo, I for one am not up for another 5 mile trek through the jungle. Little fishing boats with out board motors arrive and we wade out to them through the surf, getting mostly wet in the process. It isn't lunch time yet when we arrive in Manzillo, so everyone has free time on the beach. It the last leg of the trip and mostly everyone is well behaved and reasonable. I ask Patrick if he will keep an eye on my group with Annette so I can walk down the beach. Warm ocean to my right and rows of palm trees on the left, I walk and walk, the ocean licking feet, ankles, calves. I could go on like this forever.Wanderlust has taken over. I wonder if I would be missed if I kept walking, what would Dexter do if I failed to show for lunch? I walk and walk. I remember another time...

Costa Rica's Caribbean Coast

Once upon a time… long before pillow menus and linens with thread counts were of any importance to me, I lived here… the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica. 6 glorious months without a care in the world in a place trapped in time. I was here 12 years ago, before the digital camera age so I don’t have many of my own photos to share. Recently, I found a wonderful company and creators of a DVD of images from the coast… each one straight from my own memories. Enjoy these images below and check out Pura Vida DVD for more! The End! All photos from Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. (16 Photos)...
About the food here Puerto Viejo Costa Rica

The food here is so fresh and flavorful...I haven't had a meal, smoothie or other drink that I haven't liked! The breakfasts here are very good - nothing like fresh eggs and fruit from this verdant place. Gallo Pinto is what they call a typical Costa Rican breakfast - eggs, rice and beans, fresh fruit. There are variations at different restaurants and "Soda's" - a Soda is a small outdoor local eating place with a simple menu.
And the coffee.....they say here that Juan Valdez of Columbia drinks Costa Rican coffee! I have had a Mojito - the best ever, and a Pina Colada that was superb. Okay well maybe two. Most of the time, I receive the plate of food and forget to photograph the delectable delights. But fortunately, I remembered to get the camera out a few times. (photos)

Adios Congo Bongo Hola Suerre Caribe Hotel

Well, I survived the night! I barely moved all night because I was scared out of my wits! The morning started with a cold shower. The owner seemed to pride himself on the fact that his houses had hot showers but there must have been a trick to it as there often is here in Costa Rica. Nicole and I quickly agreed that we are not nature people and decided to find a different hotel.
After 45 minutes of walking in the hot, humid weather with nothing to drink, we arrived at Suerre Caribe. .. and immediately booked it. Suerre Caribe is the only hotel in the Puerto Viejo area that has air conditioning! Bonus! Getting served in Costa Rica is a long process as the Ticos are in no hurry... Lunch can be a 90 minute ordeal....Since then, I have learned that there were 5 or 6 muggings there in the last 2 weeks and some locals told the teen group that they should not walk there in

Costa Rica Surf Safety Tips

Few places in the world can offer travelers volcanoes towering up to 12,530 feet and a seemingly endless 700 miles of coastline on the Pacific and Caribbean like Costa Rica can. Though Costa Rica is known for many of its great tourism specialties there is one that should never be overlooked: surfing.
There are also cool surf towns popping up in Jaco, Tamarindo and Puerto Viejo. The best waves occur in the rainy season (Northern Hemisphere 'summer') on the pacific side, and in the hot dry season ('winter') on the Caribbean – so you’ll always be able to find a good break.
Why is Costa Rica called 'The Hawaii of the Central America"? Costa Rica's appeal is easy to understand: Consistent surf year-round, Warm water, Easy access to thousands of breaks, Surf conditions from mild to mind-blowing, Surf camps and international tournaments, Affordable prices...

It was wonderful to sleep in a clean, air conditioned room last night. And it was even better to have a nice, hot shower this morning! After a quick breakfast at the hotel, I headed to the beach. I walked along the beach and had fun taking pictures. I also sat on the beach and read on my Kindle. It was so nice and relaxing! The weather was a little cloudy but, later in the morning, the sun was shining enough to give me a bit of ...
