Puerto Viejo lindo pero desordenado
Pros:

La piscina y atención

Cons:

El bungalo bueno, pero dentro del bungalow no se podía dormir porque habían cientos de sancudos peligrosos para transmisiones de enfermedades. Muy largo del centro y puerto viejo mucho desorden vial no se puede caminar sin peligro de ser atropellado

Wunderschön!
Pros:

Die kleine Anlage ist wirklich super schön und gepflegt, man fühlt sich wie im Dschungel. Ich saß oft einfach nur auf der Terrasse und habe geschaut und gelauscht.
Der Pool ist wunderschön und ich hatte ihn quasi für mich allein. Da das Meer überall sehr rau ist, war das zwischendurch eine tolle Alternative.
Mein Bungalow mit Outdoorküche war ebenfalls topp. Ein, zwei scharfe Messer wären vielleicht noch hilfreich und ein Geschirrtuch. Der riesige Trinkwasserspender wird sofort gewechselt, wenn er leer ist.

Die Unterkunft liegt am Rand von Puerto Viejo. Zu Fuß ist man aber in 10 Minuten im Zentrum.

Die Gastgeberfamilie ist nett und hilfsbereit und gibt wertvolle Tipps.
Danke noch für den Tipp mit der Reggae-Bar in Cahuita 🤩

Preislich geht es sicher günstiger, bei mir gab es dafür zwischendurch Nudeln mit Tomatensauce 😉 Aber es hat sich gelohnt!

Très agréable séjour dans un bungalow au milieu de la nature
Pros:

Le personnel qui parle français.
Le bungalow au milieu de la nature avec une petite terrasse. Excellent pour boire un coup à l'apéro ou prendre un café acheté à la boulangerie pas loin. . .
L'eau bien chaude dans la douche.

Cons:

Le lit pas très confortable: quand l'un bouge cela fait du bruit et réveille l'autre.
