Made to feel like family. Stayed here for three nights on a recommendation from a friend. Literally on the beach - fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. Cabanas are spacious, modern, clean and very comfortable. Room and location aside - the owner and staff are amazing. After showing brief interest in soccer/futbol i was invited to play on... More

The location of this hotel could not be better, right on the beach.....end of story. Overrated, over priced. Our accommodations were filthy and infested with hundreds of ants. Restaurant staff needs hospitality training. Cleaning staff could improve by receiving encouragement and again training from management to insure the cabinas were completely cleaned, from the room glassware to the floors and... More

Heading out to return..........We went 3 years ago and it was our best vacation ever.Beautiful and relaxing. We arrived very late/early and woke up to the most amazing surprise and the beauty:)Loved our home(cabana),the amazing surf(to watch) and only a few yards away we could swim. Made life-long friends and all the help was so warm and like family!The only... More

We enjoyed this property. We were in the newest one with AC. We had no issues with bugs- but there were a lot of big ants. We left the bathroom light on at night hoping to scare them away. The check in staff was very friendly, pool was great and hammocks were very welcoming. I enjoyed the pool table in... More

Staying at negra was absolutely the perfect move for us. We were looking for something mellow and close to surf. Every morning we woke up to beautiful weather and waves. They have an open-air bar/restaurant that sits on the beach, and is a perfect backdrop for an afternoon drink. A few suggestion for a future visitor: --The lighting along the... More

If you are high maintenance and prefer room service and fluff then this is too cool of a spot for you. Private tiki huts with sounds of the ocean, romantic landscaping, and quiet are awaiting you here at Hotel Playa Negra. 50 yards from the beach and a lovely little cafe. Picturesque, tropical, rustic and everything you need for a... More

After reading all the good reviews for this hotel we decided to stay her for two days (jan 29 & 30). We could not be more disappointed. Bugs and ants everywhere in our room. I can handle bugs but this was real bad. Big ants all over toilet and sink. ore would ome as fast as we would kill them.... More

We stayed at Hotel Playa Negra from November 13 – November 15th. During our 2 weeks of travel through the country we stayed in 6 different lodging facilities and sadly Hotel Playa Negra ranked a close 2nd to the last in my book, which was disappointing since we all had high hopes for this place, especially since it was the...

My father has been coming here to surf for over 20 years. He loves Renun and the staff like family. I recently had the opportunity to finally visit for myself. As far as the rooms go, there are some nicer more Americanized-cabinas available or you can go with a more rustic Costa Rican style cabina. We had the latter down... More
