We loved every second of our stay. Place is run by 2 passionate owners. They shared local ideas and advices in between pointing out slots, iguanas, toucans that inhabit their wonderful property. Couldn’t recommend that place enough and can only be jealous of next guests that will be staying in Maria and Pierre’s property.

Bird watcher’s paradise!
This CNN is a bird watchers paradise. Amazing natural property. The room # 4 had a squeaky bed but a great veranda for watching birds. Extra small table and chairs in the room would have been good. The use of the BBQ at the pool was wonderful!

Our bungalow was extremely nice, spacious, comfy beds and with basic kitchen supplies to allow us to cook basic meals. The. Grounds were absolutely beautiful and well-maintained. The hosts were generous with showing us the local flora and fauna, the large, clean pool was an added bonus to cool off and entertain our daughtet. The hosts even allowed us to use the pool and store our bags until we could check in to our next hotel as we had accidentally not booked an extra night and had to stay somewhere else one more day. Cannot recommend more highly!

A must stay place!!
If we could give this place a higher score, we would. Extremely polite owners and staff that have created an absolute paradise within an already existing paradise of Cahuita in Costa Rica. The country is truly beatiful and we had plans to hop around accommodations, but that all changed once we came to Playa Negra Guesthouse. What was intended as a two night stay, we immediately booked to stay an additional two nights longer. Just the wildlife alone within the property grounds are amazing, thriving and abundant and the owners go the extra mile to show you where all the critters and wildife are hiding if you have trouble spotting them. The hospitality of the owners is bar none and we look forward to staying there again another few nights on our return back up from the south side. You want peace and tranquility in paradise, look no further!

Super séjour
Super beau site avec grands jardins avec des singes hurleurs, paresseux, iguanes et grenouilles. On a apprécié la petite cuisinette et la terrasse pour nos petits-déjeuners. Directement devant la playa Negra. Nous avons eu un super accueil par Annie et de bons conseils pour les visites à faire par Marise et Pierre

Loved everything about Playa Negra. Beautiful, magical garden and pool. Meticulously clean and comfortable room, with a veranda. We could hear ocean waves and howler monkeys in the morning. Great walkable proximity to National Park and multiple restaurants. The owners are incredibly helpful, kind and knowledgeable. We stayed 6 nights and hated to leave.

This is our absolutely favorite place in Costa Rica so far. We have been traveling for 2 weeks, still a week to go, and this location has everything! We are staying here 3 nights. Beautiful gardens, animals, excellent owners and staff, safe and secure. It has a pool and right across from the Caribbean Sea. It is a short walk to Cahuita. We will definitely come back.
