Listen to the waves crash right across the dirt road. Stroll along the unique black sand. Enjoy free breakfast. We had a lovely stay here and staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. Not located right in the center of town, but a short bicycle ride. Also convenient by the plentiful taxis in town- 2,000... more

First of all, the beach is just lovely in front of the hotel. Black sand, very few people. Huge plus. However, you have to drag a chair from the pool to the beach if you want one, then drag it back when you're finished. My family of 4 stayed in one of the condos on the property. It was quite... more

I travelled to Costa Rica with my husband and two young children in August. We booked this hotel through an airfare/hotel deal with Expedia. Let me preface this review by saying that I checked TravelAdvisor before booking this hotel and it had gotten a fair amount of 4 and 5 star ratings and was high up on the recommended hotel... more

Great place! The staff is friendly and accomodating. Our rooms were clean and made daily. The pool is pristine! The location is perfect- just far enough from the small town to feel secluded and tranquil. The night watchman played a few games of pool with us (teaching us a few things) and serenaded us with his guitar and beautiful song!... more

Very quiet and a very short walk to town. Beach is tops and very uncrowded in this area. Rooms were roomy and very clean. Bar was nice with very friendly staff and guests. more

From the moment you enter the property you will be welcomed with a warm curtious greeting...The location is perfect for those wanting a more relaxing beachfront experiance..without all the riff raff from the downtown area ...mainly tourists going to PV to be ugly Americans or Europeans...the locals are wonderful! Not all the traffic sounds and dust I had experianced at... more

La Perla Negra is a very well kept and very clean resort that is about 3 km from the small town of Puerto Veijo. The resort is right on the Caribbean Ocean and is nestled, comfortably, in the lush jungles of Southern Costa Rica. La Perla Negra is not a place to go if you are looking for the college... more

Just what the doctor ordered. We spent sixteen days in Costa Rica over Christmas vacation and all of them fabulous. After a night or two in San Jose we drove to La Perla Negra. If your just looking for a place to relax, you can't do better. We walked on the beach, went diving, saw monkeys, shoped in town etc.... more

My wife and I selected La Perla Negra because they were one of the few places that would allow us to bring our dog. But we ended up being very happy with the hotel and especially the hospitality and will almost certainly stay here again on our next trip to Puerto Viejo. The rooms are not fancy and the shower... more
