Hi, we have stayed in Puerto Viejo twice both times in La Costa de Papito bungalows... and we had a great time! We were right across the street from the beach and the bungalows were very clean, comfortable, peaceful and relaxing. The rate included breakfast (which was excellent), and they have an on-site restaurant which was great (although a bit pricey). The center of town itself was within walking distance of the bungalows and they had other restaurants (we ate at a Jamaican one mostly--I don't remember the name but the food was sooooo good!!--they served traditional CR food with added Jamaican food). There were also street merchants in town selling clothes, jewelry, and art work. Overall we loved it--the beach, the people, the food--everything was awesome.
