"The property is in an excellent location with easy access to the beach and local restaurants. The bungalow was spacious and comfortable for our family. We spent a lot of time on the patio and the pool was refreshing after a day on the beach. Dave was very helpful and made our stay easy and enjoyable. Highly recommend! "
"The property is beautiful and adorable and so clean and safe. The hosts are wonderful. It’s a great location. There’s a mommy and baby monkey right outside my window. This is heaven."
"
Recientemente me hospedé en este hotel nuevo y bonito, ubicado en una excelente zona de la ciudad. Aunque la estructura es moderna y atractiva, lamentablemente mi experiencia se vio afectada por algunos problemas significativos.
La habitación era muy pequeña, lo que fue un poco decepcionante considerando el precio cobrado. Además, la ventana no tenía cortinas eficaces para bloquear la luz, lo que hizo que la habitación estuviera muy iluminada durante el día y la noche, dificultando mi...
"We booked this place got there and the gate was locked. Try honking calling them but no response.
You shouldn’t be able to book if it’s already closed "
"Couldn’t be happier I’m going to sleep in this bedroom suite is unbelievable. It’s so private and it’s so well done it’s minimalism and it’s you know it’s very very upscale and for this price point you can’t touch this highly recommended thank you very much."
"This is a great property and Juan, our host while on site, served us great breakfasts and was extremely polite and accommodating with any needs or desires. I love this property and will be staying there again and as often as possible. There is some construction on both sides of the hotel that might bother some, but it just wasn’t an issue for us. We were out exploring, beaching, and surfing during the day. Rooms, parking, and proximity to town were fantastic! "

"We had minor issues with AC being always on, and the thermostats not kicking in. There was also a clog in the AC unit and cause leaking from the ceiling.
The road to the resort needs work. There is a 10 minute stretch that’s really nerve wracking if you are coming in for the first time when it’s dark, and you worry about the damage to the vehicle.
Other than that, it’s a great place and does deserve all the 5-stars. "
"This was easily one of the best stays we’ve ever had. Café Playa Negra is everything a boutique hotel should be—warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully run. We were greeted like family and offered lime slush drinks that were pure bliss. Our room was spotless and beautiful, the meals were delicious, and the pool was a perfect escape.
Nixon was amazing—so kind and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly.
This place has heart. And by staying here, you’re supporting the real people of Playa Negra—not just a vacation rental owned by investors. We felt good knowing our visit made a positive impact. We’ll definitely be back."
Villa Esperanza - Luxury Beachfront Villa In Tropical Paradise
10/10 Excellent
"Agree with most of the previous reviews but would like to add a couple things we did. We had a family of ten 6 adults, 4 teenage kids. Working with Mary Diekers, the rental property manager, we employed a ten person van and driver to pick us up at the airport. Turns out he was also an excellent daily tour guide, setting up and driving us to zip line, ATV, horse back riding, and river cruise activities. His name is Jeffery Guevara, very friendly, speaks fluent English, and was knowledgable on everything Costa Rican. We also selected to have evening chefs cook dinner for us on three occasions. This was especially helpful after returning from a busy day of activities. Highly recommend Chefs Garrett Hurley and his wife. Their food preparation was incredible, much better than any restaurant. We also rented an SUV at the airport as kind of a back up. As stated by others the property is realatively isolated with bummpy dirt roads in and out. "

PLAYA AVELLANAS TREE HOUSE with Exclusive Beach Access
10/10 Excellent
"Very good location for surf beach access. Its nice to see original Costa Rican houses are still available to stay at! The host was great with communication. "
"The resort is gorgeous. The rooms are clean , beds are very comfortable. Definitely Great to have the pool right outside the door. Odd set up for the 2 bdr villas.. when you enter through the gate you have a common outside small table and 4 chairs and on each side of that is a sliding door..to the right ...a kitchen with 2 single beds and TV, no bathroom. So whoever is in that room has to come through the queen bedroom with people sleeping to use bathroom . On the left queen bedroom and bathroom, no tv. So when those people go to bed no tv to watch. Also, the shower is outside which was cool, but the door to the bathroom is locked and if you wanted to leave it open ..there was just enough gap for lizards and bugs to come in . And no hooks to hang your towel and clothes.
The units definitely need more hooks to hang towels up or a retractable clothes line. We had all our stuff drapped all over the chairs in the common outdoor space. Which was hard to sit at as they were all covered in wet stuff.
Also needs more hanging hooks for clothes in other room with the kitchen ....and more cutlery options like a good cutting knife , bottle opener, wine opener ..etc. Basic utensils only, no dish soap to wash dishes"
Mini Oasis in Avellanas beach, natural pool, parking, A/C, kitchen #1
10/10 Excellent
"This was the perfect place to unplug and chill. Doris and Johnny did an excellent job of creating a cozy oasis. It was the perfect balance of private space to do our thing, and common space by the pool to connect with other guests when we wanted. Doris is delightful and answered any and all questions we had, accommodating our every need. The location was fabulous...in walking distance to several restaurants, and a magical mangrove leading to the beach. We are already making plans to stay there again next year!"
