Offering a garden and pool view, Puerta Negra is located in Playa Flamingo, less than 1 km from Potrero Beach and 2.3 km from Penca Beach. There is an on-site restaurant and free private parking.

Everyone was so helpful and friendly from the minute we arrived. It was like being in a little community that was super welcoming. The facilities were very clean and the bed were very comfortable. The atmosphere all around made for a relaxing experience.

I had a wonderful stay at Casa Mapache. The grounds are beautiful with lots of greenery. The patio area and pool were amazing. The room was very clean and the bed and linens were amazingly comfortable. The owners were very friendly and helpful. I recommend staying here. 10/10

Little Hawaii Avellanas in Playa Avellana provides adults-only accommodation with water sports facilities, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden.

We loved it here. The location is fantastic - just a short walk to the beach. We spent a few days here at the end of our holiday - relaxing and perfect for what we needed after quite a busy, strenuous time in Costa Rica. Playa de Avellanas has a lovely, laid back feel to it - not touristy (yet). Jose was excellent to communicate by with whenever I had any questions and very helpful when I enquired about transport contacts.

    We loved the host. They sent us they location of the property as it is a little bit difficult to find in a virtual map. However their indications were key to reach there. Once there they were very kind and they gave us amazing advice on what to visit on the area and on the next stops of our trip. The house had everything we needed, a big bathroom, a kitchen with gas cooker, fridge and plenty of fans to be able to deal with the heat. There is a swimming pool as well at the back of the property. Highly recommendable.

    Everything is good for our stay, except we only have cold water for the shower. The hot water was broken when we stayed there. The room is very clean, and kitchen has everything we need. Several fans will be enough at night as it is not hot. Host is very friendly and helpful, Sylvia is a very good host, and will do everything she can to make our stay comfortable. Thanks for everything.
