This place is much better than the photos! The people are amazing. So cute! Extremely clean. Only 8 rooms in the whole hotel so it does book up in advance. There is a lovely shaded courtyard with a bar and lights and live music. Bright fresh airy rooms with high ceilings. I love this place! I got to meet the owner, it was his birthday and he was celebrating with friends and still went out of his way to welcome me. Roxy is the beautiful manager who is extremely thoughtful and welcoming as well. Great place!!

Great spot

Staff was great, as was the restaurant. The location is right on the main drag through town so it can be a little loud. But we loved the place and hope to return.

This was a great little fine if you don't mind not having a TV in your room. I thought it was great. The place was very clean and affordable. The staff waited around for me to ensure that I received the key because they were not receiving my responses to them attempting to communicate with me over the Whatsup app and Expedia app do to my phone service while driving there. Food as great in the morning and appreciated everyone's smiles.

Thank you so much hosting our family! We enjoyed our night with you! Our room was perfect - very clean, and we loved the special touches. The staff were very friendly and the ambiance was relaxing and inviting. We enjoyed the pool and loved our short walk to the beach. Your ceviche is among the best we have ever had! We will have already booked our next stay with you! We can’t wait to be back at the Cafe Playa Negra.
