I am Headed to the south Caribbean side for 3 days & 2 nights for the 1st time, more specifically the area of Puerto Viejo and the Playa Cocles which is known for their good surf.

I do plan to also visit Punta Uva which I have read is good for snorkeling and it appears all these beaches in the PV area are not too far apart.

A visit to the Jaguar rescue and the Manzanillo wildlife refuge area are also on my list.

I do also understand from research this is very chill and laid back part of the country any suggestions for some good live music (Reggae) would be much appreciated.

If the Hosts name is Bianca I actually reserved a villa from her few weeks ago on Airbnb App … Casa Blanca :lol:

There's a bar called Green Jaguar in PV one block off the main drag that has live bands/ calypso on weekends. Great food, tempura shrimp!

I can recommend Pura Bali Villas (book direct or AirBNB). Close to the Jaguar Rescue Center as well as several beaches. The bedrooms have A/C and each unit has a jacuzzi. https://instagram.com/purabalivillas If you want more rustic, try 'Almonds and Corals' or 'El Colibrí Lodge'. Neither have A/C but both are raised structures with mosquito netting over the bed. https://instagram.com/almondsandcorals I highly recommend either A/C or mosquito netting at night to lessen dengue risk.

Salsa Brava for drinks, live music, food, and pot. Right on the beach in town. Tasty Waves for a great burger and a beer is a must. Look them up on Facebook. Close to Jaguar Rescue. The absolute highlight of this area is the Gandoca Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge. Once you walk to the lookout area, work your way down to the beach below. Pristine, one of the most beautiful I have ever seen.

The Jaguar Rescue Center is a complete waste of time. No Jaguars there, maybe 1 Ocelot, some birds, a sloth and some Toucans but I was not in the least bit impressed. Better off spending your time hiking in Gandoca Manzanillo. If you need a referral for a guide in Gandoca Manzanillo let me know. I have 1 guide whom I've been out with on 3 different occasions. Cost you around $60 for the day for a private tour.

If the Hosts name is Bianca I actually reserved a villa from her few weeks ago on Airbnb App … Casa Blanca Yeah the Mirador Gandoca Manzanillo lookout and the beach below is more what I am looking to visit for a few hours in the morning, not necessarily an all day hike. Salsa Brava sounds like a place worth checking out
