We just got back from Cahuita, and are still dreaming about this guesthouse and wondering how soon we can go back. We were a family of four, with boys ages 4 and 6. We stayed in the blue cottage and it was heavenly! The grounds are immaculate, and the pool is divine. The property isn't that big, but you feel... More

Playa Negra Guesthouse is that rare place where everything is just right. We stayed in the Blue Cottage following a recommendation from another family traveling with kids and we were thrilled with our choice. Michel is a caring, attentive host and the type of person who makes you smile. It's no wonder he designed the place with a loving hand... More

Thank you so much to Michelle, proprietor, for a great experience on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. This is a place you will not want to miss. The rooms are very tastefully appointed, secure and comfortable. The cabins are beautifully designed in the colonial style. What we loved best, however, was the well-maintained garden, which also has a lovely... More

What a wonderful stay I just had at Playa Negra. It offers exactly what it advertises and more. The grounds are beautiful, immaculate. The location is great - private but within a 10 minute walk of downtown and the national park. There are two restaurants next door that are great options if you are tired and don{t want to go...

Playa Negra Guesthouse was our base for a recent 9 days vacation at the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Our hosts - Michel and Greg - established a lovely quiet immaculately kept haven, just a few steps from the Playa Negra (the black beach) and in walking distance from the town of Cahuita. Their personal touch toward each and every... More

So, I was thrilled about coming here after we were at Tortuga Lodge in Tortuguero National Park (a real 5-star experience), especially since it turned out to be a 5 hour trip down to Cahuita. After all, have you ever seen SUCH GOOD REVIEWS on trip advisor? This place must be heaven so we thought. Then reality hit: - Our... More

The Playa Negra Guesthouse is absolutely immaculate. We stayed four nights in the Yellow Cottage, which is extremely nice (including the kitchen and bathroom!). The porch is an excellent place to hang out, and the fantastic beach is right across the (unpaved) road. This corner of the Caribbean Coast is very nice, the food is excellent, and the people are...

We arrived after a 10 hour drive from the Pacific side. Marise met us and she was amazingly friendly and helpful. We stayed one night in a room and then had the green cottage for our last two nights. The room was huge and had it's own patio. The cottage was wonderful, big with a stove and full size fridge.... More

Lovely place and highly recommended, but if you are scared of dogs, I´d go somewhere else (like next door, El Encanto). Three German shepard dogs were a bit too much for our taste. That said, it´s a beautiful and relaxing place, with a very friendly and helpful atmosphere.
