You have been redirected here from the page for Rest Tierra Quiel y Ramos which is no longer listed on Puerto Viejo Satellite; hopefully you can find an alternate place here that fits your needs!
Bri Bri and Sixaola aren't big tourist draws on their own as they aren't beachfront. Instead they are local service and transportation hubs that a traveler may need to pass through.
Bri Bri is the administrative center for the canton of Talamanca where Puerto Viejo is located. Some police and investigative services are located here.
Sixaola is the town at the border to Panama and so travelers heading to Bocas del Toro or other destinations in Panama will pass through here. Most people will just pass through Sixaola quickly but there are basic services including small supermarkets, restaurants, a pharmacy and several parking lots if you want to leave your rental car here while you're in Bocas. See the travel to Bocas page for more information.
