Additional comments from our visitors about Puerto Viejo and Area Restaurants and Bars

What are people saying about us?elsa insua from argentina     August 03, 2009

Great New Restaurant inside the Wildlife Refuge Gandoca-Manzanillo. Just 20" from Puerto Viejo, on the main road (in front of the entrance to the secret surf point Playa Grande). El Refugio Grill, is the best experiencie you could have on your visit to the Caribbean. Run by it's owner, an Argentinean Chef, you can try any dish of the small daily menue and your are not goint to be disapointed.
