we found this hostel / cafe in Playa Chiquita particularly nice due to its choice of local materials, simple construction that could be exemplar in the area..
General thoughts about Puerto Viejo:
Creole cuisine, costa rican coffee! reggae music, exotic plants, jungle, chilled out locals, bicycles, surfing, hummingbirds, monkeys, tropical rain and heat are a few things we experienced in this place.
