Quiet Hostels for Couples and Solo Travellers in Puerto Viejo and Cahuita

Puerto Viejo has managed to hold on to its Afro-Caribbean vibe despite the growth in tourism across Costa Rica and in the town itself. Located on the beach, the town of Puerto Viejo is actually only one of several small towns in this stretch of shoreline that extends northwest from the Panama border. All along the main road, restaurants, bars, and accommodation options can be found hidden in the jungle or on the beach. Staying in the town itself offers many options, but if you're looking for paradise, so many great hostels can be found just a few kilometers away.

If you head north of Puerto Viejo, Cahuita (and the national park) are nice to visit if you're looking for an untouched jungle paradise on the beach. South of Puerto Viejo are several smaller towns with beach access and a much quieter vibe.
