Overview

A beautiful, natural shoreline and pristine beach are the jewels of this property’s location. Situated beachside, surfers from around the globe are drawn to the Playa Negra surf break. The hotel is set back from the nearby town. As a result, it offers the beauty and casual ambiance of a local establishment, a welcome departure from big-name chain resorts.

Balmy North Pacific Coast breezes and untamed tropical forests surround this secluded property. Awe-inspiring sunsets offer a sense of tranquility that makes Hotel Playa Negra unique. Daniel Oduber International Airport is nearby, which makes Hotel Playa Negra easy to reach.

The resort is located within three miles of some of the most beautiful Guanacaste beaches including Avellana Beach, Blanca Beach, and Callejones Beach. For the golf enthusiast, the Hacienda Pinilla Golf Course is within nine miles. The vast, tropical dry forests play host to a wide range of wildlife from seabirds to monkeys that occasionally wander onto the grounds.

The open-air restaurant and bar are positioned on the beach under a circular palm roof. Enjoy the ocean view and listen to the surf while having a quiet meal or relaxing with a cold beverage. On-site staff prepares menu items using fresh, locally-produced ingredients. Meals are served continuously throughout the day. Choose from the selection of seafood, steaks, sandwiches and vegetarian fare or sample the traditional Costa Rican “casado.” Kids meals and gluten-free dishes are also available. Order smoothies and tropical cocktails made using fresh-picked fruit.

Play in the waves of the tropical Pacific waters or relax by the outdoor pool, surrounded by lush greenery, overlooking the beach. Beach towels and loungers are available for guests. Other hotel amenities include:
