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.

Trip from Arenal to Playa Chuita

Try to fit in Arenal-so much to see and do there. We drove from Playa Cocles area-little south of PV-so can do the drive. Drive took around 5-6 hrs. but stopped for gas in Limon and picture taking. Roads not bad so if no construction delays and not a lot of stopping along the way, it's perfectly doable and you will see beautiful scenery and nice, little towns and can do in less time than we took.

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.

Which side of Costa Rica and the right time to go

We were planning a trip to the Pacific side of Costa Rica in September or October however, I have noticed some resorts are closed during these months. I assume do to rain. Is this a bad time to visit? Should I stick with the Guanacaste area or Carribean side?
September and October are absolutely great on the Caribbean side, the ocean is calm and clear and generally no rain.There are however no big resorts on this side of the country, no high rise or golf courts either. But we do have beautiful beaches, rainforest, nice places to stay and good restaurants...

This morning we will visit the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge just down the coast. Here anyone can rent a mask and snorkel and bring it along our hike along the coast to beautiful hidden coves and tidal pools filled with tropical fish. In the afternoon we can play a soccer match with the local kids at the nearby soccer field, and then soak in the refreshing waters and surf at Playa Cocles. Tonight we will have dinner in the town of Puerto Viejo.

Getting from La Fortuna to Puerto Viejo was a rather painless endeavour. The Dutch couple decided to head to Monteverde so we parted company and I headed out on my own, but we are facebook buddies for life LOL. I found a great site for bus schedules for Costa Rica all the info you will need to find your way around.
I stayed in Puerto Viejo for 5 days, there were a few nice days weather wise but as previously mentioned the rainy season started early. So with 7 days left and a now seriously damaged liver and a few less brain cells, what to do what to do... Panama was not part of my original plan as I didn't think I would have time but now I do so we all decided to pick up and head down to Bocas Del Toro. One of my friends is flying back to Switzerland out of Panama so it seemed like a good idea as I had not been to Panama before, ah the ...
