Sketchy… as former home owners here, this beautiful town is not the safest place, know this and act accordingly. It has so much potential, amazing wildlife and landscape but the lack of police presen…Full review by GigiVigi7

Hello! We're going to be visiting Puerto Viejo beach (or some other nearby beach...looking for white sand, blue water and safe swimming for our 12 year old son). We haven't booked a hotel yet. Looking for recommendations on a hotel or resort for 3 people (preferably with air conditioning). Thanks so much!

We visited in December and the weather was perfect. We stayed at Villas Lomas Del Caribe. By car you are 5 minutes from the beach. Or, walking may take you up to 15 minutes. The Villas (6) has a pool. We didn’t have kids with us and didn’t spend a lot of time on the beach. We didn’t see any white sand beaches while in Puerto Viejo. You will enjoy!
Hi, we are visiting Costa Rica in May and are desperate to see turtles. We read that manzanillo you can see them in May but were wondering whether it would be better to stay in Puerto Viejo or in manzanillo itself. Would you have to book a tour guide either place? Thanks!

My suggestion is to stay in Puerto Viejo, since Manzanillo is about 20 minutes driving from there and you can easily move up and down the coast. I suggest you to book a guide as well, because Manzanillo park is not that easy to visit, there is a identifiable path in the first 700 mothers, then it’s all deep bush. Up on the same coast there is the tortuguero national park, have you thought about that. I have been on the opposite coast as well, in particular, very close to Samara, there is a beach full of turtles’ shelters. There are a kind of turtle’s association taking care of their reproduction.
Hi - just starting my research into staying (probably) in Puerto Viejo for about a week-10 days, after touring Costa Rica for about a week. We are looking to stay beachfront at a nice swimmable beach, but I have found various ideas of what people think nice beaches "are" - obviously - I don't waves outside my door, I want to be able to go into calm water and swim every day. Thoughts please and thank you? We picked Puerto Viejo because of the vibe of the town and to be close to it each evening. I think Cahuita may be too small, plus from what I'm reading the beaches there aren't as calm? Would love any thoughts, thanks so much!

The waves are seasonal. April through October, the waves are normally calm, with many days being idyllic, lake-like conditions on the Caribbean Sea. However, September through March can be VERY ROUGH. The weather can be fairly brutal, and the waves can rival many famous Pacific Ocean surf spots. Choose your season carefully, or do like I do and visit at different times of the cycle to really get the experience.
