Property
We arrived after dark and upon our first step through the wooden gate, we were enchanted by the lush gardens and lit paths. Our tastefully decorated and well appointed cottage was absolutely perfect for the three of us during our 8-day stay.  Each day after walking on the beach or touring the area, we would relax around the pool feasting our senses on the sounds of the birds and the occasional call of the howler monkeys, and the sights of the colourful blooms and foliage in the gardens.

Location
The Caribbean town of Cahuita, in Limon, just a short 15-minute walk to town for groceries, souvenir shopping, or dining in a restaurant serving great seafood. Our hosts Greg & Michel pointed out many of the great attractions and activities in the area.

Sleeps
Two guestrooms sleep three, one sleeps two, and the two cottages accommodate four each. All rooms are equipped with a refrigerator, coffee maker, ceiling fans, safety box and Wireless Internet. The cottages have spacious porches and each cottage and guestroom has plenty of privacy and views of the lush, tropical garden.

Highlights
We walked the trail in the Cahuita National Park, went dolphin watching and snorkelling at Cahuita Point and visited the Jaguar Reserve where we observed baby sloths and fed baby howler monkeys. Playa Negra is a great destination for all generations – we were a child, mom & grandmother. We’ll certainly visit again!

Good to know
It is a 3 ½ to 4 hour ride from the airport in San Jose to the Playa Negra Guesthouse; however our hosts arranged for a car and driver to pick us up. After a long day of air travel, we were able to relax as we passed through the mountains and along the coast enjoying the scenery on our way to the guesthouse.
