I have been here 7 years and not been to the Caribbean side. I am looking on lodging in town, pool AC and a two bedroom suite or Cabina would be perfect. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is one of the reasons I plan on returning to Costa Rica. I spent much of my time, when I traveled to CR, in this area. "Luxury" hotels are far and few inbetween down here. Most accommodations are spartan, and without AC. I would recommend checking out the following hotels. They have swimming pools and at least some of the rooms have air conditioning:
Hotel Banana Azul- Rooms are around $100/ night. This place is a favorite with PV tourists who want the amenities of a "civilized" hotel. I was invited there 6 years ago, by a young couple who just got married at the hotel. It is a neat place, and just outside the village. Only some of the suites have AC.
Hotel Cariblue- $90 - $140- Units include some air-conditioned bungalows. This hotel is in the secluded Playa Cocles area about 3 kms south of Puerto Viejo. The hotel has a restaurant and there are also a few places to eat in Cocles. This is a great area to stay if you want to avoid the crowds.
Hotel Las Palmas & Hotel Suerre- These two beachfront hotels are situated side-by-side on Punta Uva. They are typical all-inclusive tourist type places with AC, swimming pools and one of them even has tennis courts. Rooms in 2006 were $70/night, and a package deal that included meals was also offered. The rooms were clean, comfortable (including AC & TV), but nothing fancy.
