Hotel Playa Negra

Hotel Playa Negra Review

Pastel-color, round cabinas are sprinkled across sunny lawns strewn with tropical plants at this gorgeous oceanfront place with a huge round pool. Each bungalow has curvy tile bathrooms plus built-in, molded concrete sofas with soft cushions that can double as extra beds. There's no air-conditioning, but conical thatch roofs keep the cabinas cool. New, larger suite-bungalows do have air-conditioning, as well as a king-size bed and two singles, plus fridge and coffeemaker. Ocean tidal pools, swimming holes, and rock reefs provide plenty of opportunities for lazy afternoon exploration. This is great for surfers, with a good swell running right in front of the hotel. The round restaurant serves typical food with a few Continental dishes under a giant thatch roof, but the great ocean view is more of an attraction than the food. Hotel staff can arrange kayaking and horseback tours. Surf packages are also available.
