I'm from San Jose, and after a long search for hotels far from the center I ended up giving a try at Coco Loco Lodge.
First of all, the place is just fabulous. The bungalows are about 10-20 meters apart of each other in a beautiful and quiet property. They come with a fridge, coffeemaker, bath (with hot water, which surprisingly you might need in a cold night) and best of all, a private small balcony with chair, table and a hammock.
Because of the price, I expected something a little more humble, but ended up comparable with any other puerto viejo hotel (all of them with higher prices).
About staying in the center, the hotel is just blocks away from the center, which makes it really confortable and far enough to be quiet and don't get noise at all.
Will definitely come again next time I'm in Puerto Viejo.
