My family will be traveling at the end of this month and we need a beach (a nice snorkeling beach would be good) front hotel, preferably with a pool and AC. I'd like it to be within walking distance to the town of Puerto Viejo. (We have a car so it could be a quick drive to town). I know I'm asking for the world. Any suggestions?
Need some help with a hotel on the Caribbean side

Most hotels in Costa Rica are not right on the beach. Cariblue is a nice hotel in the area -- the food there is fantastic! And you can walk across the street to Playa Cocles. It's more of a surfing beach I think. Cahuita might be better for snorkeling -- I think it's calmer.

Check out Azania Bungalows about 1km south of PV. Don't have their address handy right now, but you can google it.
