Puerto Viejo's three-pearl La Finca Chica is a comfortable escape for guests looking for a quaint taste of the simple life. Four wooden cottages, or casitas, are spread out across 2.5 acres of lush, green farmland a five-minute walk from Playa Cocles beach. Each fan-cooled casita has separate bedrooms, patios, and full kitchens with tranquil views of the wildlife and banana trees that fill the surrounding gardens. The dog-friendly hotel is slim on big features aside from free Wi-Fi and parking, but bike rentals and laundry services are also available and there are plenty of sights in the area, like the Gandoca Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge and the Parada Jaguar Rescue Center. Guests looking for extra amenities like a pool and spa may want to try Hotel Bugabutik, though rooms will lack La Finca Chica's extra space and can be more expensive.

Expect to get a bang for your buck at the upscale Le Cameleon Boutique Hotel. The Puerto Viejo getaway locale is an ideal option for those who want to mix luxe living with the beauty of nature. It's more Ibiza than San Jose, there's nothing rustic about this property. Think: chic, modern rooms with snow white walls, beddings, and furniture. Bright accessories in the rooms and staff uniforms change color daily like the skin of a chameleon, hence the name of the hotel. There's a sophisticated outdoor pool, but the fancy beach club and sand are more popular spots to sun. A spa, hot tub, and gourmet restaurant round out the romantic offerings. It's a bit far from the center of Puerto Viejo but close to the Parada Jaguar Rescue Center and Manzanillo Wildlife Reserve. To be closer to the action of Puerto Viejo at lower rates, try the Lizard King Hotel, but lose the chic ambience found at Le Cameleon.
