"This was easily one of the best stays we’ve ever had. Café Playa Negra is everything a boutique hotel should be—warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully run. We were greeted like family and offered lime slush drinks that were pure bliss. Our room was spotless and beautiful, the meals were delicious, and the pool was a perfect escape.
Nixon was amazing—so kind and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly.
This place has heart. And by staying here, you’re supporting the real people of Playa...

"La propiedad muy tranquila, realmente se puede descansar. También la habitación muy limpia y muy atentos. Lo único que mejoraría serian las cortinas, porque no se siente privacidad y agregar un TV para psar el rato durante las noches "

"Owner was amazing. I had a delayed flight and they checked up on me and even gave me a ride from a nearby hotel as I was having a hard time getting Uber rides within Pinilla. Internet was strong and I was able to work remotely without issues during my meetings. The room is comfy and the property is just excellent. Will definitely come back and recommend to friends and family"

"I spent two days here and it was unlike any other lodge/hotel I’ve been to before.
The rooms are beautiful, the pool is stunning, the jungle gym is also such an amazing addition but nothing tops the the host himself, he made sure every question was answered and I truly felt at home almost 4000 km from Canada.
Pura vida!!"

"We had a beautiful 3 days at Capitán Suizo! It was clean, comfortable, and the food was delicious! But the most amazing part was definitely the staff - they were attentive, welcoming, and truly went above and beyond. The hotel is super peaceful but an easy walk to all the restaurants, stores and nightlife if that’s what you want. Thank you all for a great stay! "

"Our room was super clean. The grounds were lush and jungle like. True rainforest vibes. The staff were so helpful. They arranged our taxi from the airport and a massage by the pool. The breakfast at their restaurant was beyond explanation. It was so different yet phenomenal. Great spot. "

"I Love this hotel. I have lived in Costa Rica 10 years in the Central Valley close to SJO airport for my work. My wife and I enjoy the beaches of Guanacaste so when I have a block of days off we will make the run to Tamarindo.
She found Hotel Perla on the beach so we wanted try it out. It is now our go to place! Why:
1. Directly on the beach. Our room is separated by 75' of grass and lounge chairs then the sand. The ocean varies because of the tide. At high tide there is...

"Yes, very clean they organized and cleaned our room multiple times a day.
They could’ve had more restaurants open.
Some music down at the pool would’ve been nice. Apparently we went during their lowest season and it was only about 5 to 10% occupied so it was pretty quiet.
There was a minor construction that disrupted our afternoon one day with some very loud pressure washers.
It’d be nice if they had a club with music and dance floor . but they did upgrade us when we got there to a better room...
