What is a nice, cheap, safe hotel/motel by the beaches of Costa Rica central pacific coast?

My friends and i are planning to just pick up and go to Costa Rica and surf some, but we want to have an idea of where to head out to. We aren't looking for luxury, we just want a nice, clean, economical hotel/hut in a safe and up-kept area.

suggestions and ideas are STRONGLY welcomed!

surfing is best on the Caribbean coast.....get the lonely planet book on Costa Rica.....buy or get it at your library

Find two or three hotels in your price range that appeal to you at http://freehotelsearch.50webs.com/ or http://www.orbitz.com. Compare room rates and services and book one of the hotels. Be sure to specify a smoking or nonsmoking room. Reserve the room with your credit card. This will generally hold the room for you no matter what time you arrive.
