May be it’s not super close to the national park. But for me it was not an issue at all.

That’s an amazing place! If I need to choose where to stay in Cahuita once again I would definitely choose Playa Negra Guesthouse.

Stayed in March 2024

Nothing to dislike!

Beautiful house in thoughtfully planted gardens, in order to encourage wildlife (of which there was plenty!). Our room had its own private outside seating area, and space to hang wet swimsuits. Inside, a fridge/sink/coffee and tea making facilities and cutlery/crockery. There was a BBQ and honesty bar by the pool. Marise was very welcoming, showing us around the garden and pointing out the sloth, iguanas, the spots to look out for frogs, and how to recognise a toucan call. Pierre is very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and has a great zoom lens to point out anything he spots. The beach is just across the road, my daughter loved jumping/ducking the waves. It's a 15-20 min walk to the centre of Cahuita, and the National Park entrance. There's a big supermarket, a couple of smaller ones, and plenty of places to eat. We went next door to Brigitte's for delicious pancakes in a lovely shaded setting (red and green frogs enjoyed the setting too!) A wonderful start to our Costa Rica holiday, we adapted to 'tico time' well here!

The room was a bit dark and dreary

The grounds were wonderful

Nothing, all was good.

I can't recommend this guesthouse enough. The owners are lovely and did everything to make sure you have the best stay. I saw more animals in the beautiful gardens than in the National parks. If you are lucky enough to find a reservation, don't hesitate, just book.

The owner was just amazing. We arrived on Christmas Eve and were worried no one would be around. The lady could not help us enough. She helped us with taxis and made us feel very welcome (inc a tour of the grounds to spot Sloths and iguanas).

We liked everything.

It is a super beautiful property located at a top spot. Owner Pierre gave us a great little tour, showing us sloths, leguanas, spicy coloured frogs etc in the beautiful, big garden.

Mosquitoes got into the room at night through gaps in doors and the room was very hot.

Very well kept garden and pool area with lots of animals to see.

Lovely location, beautiful gardens, lots of animals to be seen and the owners were really helpful. Lots to do nearby, including hiking through the National Park, relaxing by the pool, swimming in the see, eating local food and a fabulous night of music and dancing at the nearby reggae bar.

The walls dividing the two room were really thin.

It was incredible! Right next to the national park and beaches, staff were amazing!

Absolute winner was the garden and the pool. We saw loads of animals with some help by the owner (iguana, sloth, lizards). And after the sea, sand and sun in Bocas this was the perfect place for cool and refreshing relaxation.

Spiderwebs in the toaster,

Nice room. We loved the pool and the fact that it is located directly at the beach. We stayed only one night here, but we saw Iguanas, an agouti (hard to find), crabs, and multiple kinds of lizards. There was a chance to see a sloth move from its palm to a neighbor tree but it was way to dark at some point to see this migration.

Amazing place to stay! We extended our stay as it was so peaceful and beautiful. Owners are friendly and helpful in every way. Lots of animals on the property - daily sloths, iguanas, cahutis, frogs and crabs can be found through the gardens and trees. Beach is shaded with swings and hotel provides beach equipment (chairs, sand toys, towels, etc). Plenty of restaurants are close by - our favorite was the Reggae restaurant on the water two properties down.

Very nicely and comfortably designed. We had everything we needed. A quiet, restful stay right across from a lovely beach. We even cooked dinner some evenings by the pool area. The owners are delightful and very accomodating. We couldn't have had a nicer time.
