Cariblue Beach & Jungle Resort

Cariblue Beach & Jungle Resort, facing Playa Cocles

Cariblue faces Playa Cocles, about 1.5 km south of Puerto Viejo town, with rooms spread between the beach side and a jungle side called La Jungla. The gardens are thick with tropical plants and sloths, monkeys and birds are regular visitors. It suits families, groups of friends and surfers who want a relaxed Caribbean base with plenty going on.
