Hotel Playa Negra

Let’s start with the positives: cannot beat the location. Period. The beach is like right there and the views are idyllic any time of the day. We loved our walks on the beach every morning. The restaurant food is really good! The smoothies are awesome too! The staff is helpful. Rooms: we weren’t able to book an AC room so ended up with the regular/non-AC room. And they are horrible! Their ant situation needs help! We brought our own raid 2nd day and it helped a little. One night there was even a frog that fell off the roof in the bathroom! The management seems to know but doesn’t feel like they are doing much to fix the lily Wholes and crevices letting insects in. I absolutely hated having to go back into the room and it was impossible to get any sleep. We will be back but only if I can book an ac room.

Awesome: Raquel the manager! The rooms looks so cool! And the surf break is right there! Terrible: bed bugs. I got eaten alive. For that reason alone, I can't go back.

This hotel is perfectly located on the ocean front of Playa Negra, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It is a surfers lodge if you will. The vibe is very alternative and the upkeep of the hotel as a whole is clearly in need of an overhaul retrofit. The pools are in fairly good condition though the adults one is missing quite a few tiles. The Shala, where guests and visitors have yoga classes and relax in the hammocks, needs a roof and floors touch up. The overall view of the hotel exterior is a clear picture of its beautiful setting and surroundings. However, it looks like the hotel needs some renovations to justify the nightly rates it charges. If you don’t mind looking around and seeing places and things that need to be fixed during your stay there, go for it because this hotel location is hard to beat and the staff and locals are super friendly and welcoming.

Beautiful, secluded beach with some of awe-inspiring dark sand patterns in every single place along the beach. Every single wave draws a new pattern... The restaurant is spacious and with amazing beachfront sights right from your dinner table. The waves break really nearby. Beach has strong currents so lots of respect for the sea is needed here. Surfing spot for more experienced swimmers.

Wonderful beach. Great surf. Charming resort with a nostalgic feel. Nice outdoor pavilion serving food and drinks. Surfboard rental. Lots of parking.

Beach paradise. The staff are top notch! Amazing and helpful - the servers @ the beach front restaurant are exceptional. Great cocktails, delicious food with yummy Costa Rican choices. pool was fabulous - nice place to relax and listen to nature in all beauty. Highly recommend 💖

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights and absolutely loved it. The food, service and suite were incredible. What really made it a great experience for us, were the people that work there and the host Pasquale. I cannot say enough about them. The beach is literally a 5-10 min walk from hotel. The room was spacious and very comfortable. I highly recommend the suite. The restaurant food and service was amazing…you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this place. We will be back for sure. Thank you Cafe Negra & a special thank you to Pasquale…you are the man…for all you did for us! Trish & John

The best of this hotel is the restaurant and the service, and obviously that is just at the beach. The food is really tasty, and good prices. The view amazing and the fact that its a surf hotel makes it cool. The service is 100% , but the rooms maybe can be a bit better , with better lighting and sound proof.
