Playa Negra
5 minutes to Puerto Viejo. In the past year this area has been growing a lot. New homes being built every day as vacation rentals.
The beachfront Banana Azul Hotel is a nice place to go get a massage, have a drink on their beachfront restaurant or just relax at the beach. There is the Banana Azul Market with a beauty parlor and a convenience store. The price per square meter is getting higher and higher but still a great area to live and be close to town.
