Cafe Playa Negra Hotel, hotel in Venado

Cafe Playa Negra Hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Playa Negra.

I spent three days with my family at this hotel for my birthday, and it was a remarkable experience. The staff, especially Juan Carlos, the chef, Pascal, Rosemary, Alex, etc, made it extraordinary. Juan Carlos prepared some of the most exquisite dishes I've ever tasted, including an amazing Ceviche, along with superb fish and beef dishes. The birthday chocolate cake for me was the best I've tried – perfectly balanced in sweetness and taste. We appreciated their accommodating our late-night arrival after work. The hotel staff was consistently helpful and attentive to our comfort. The hotel's location is ideal, being near Playa Negra, an uncrowded beautiful beach with white sand and clear water during low tide in the morning. Additionally, it's just an hour's drive from Conchal Beach, one of Costa Rica's most famous and beautiful beaches, and an hour and a half from Catalinas, Danta, and Dantita beaches. I highly recommend this place for its exceptional service and the splendid Playa Negra.

The property is beautifully designed and very well maintained. We stayed in Lodge 2 with a spectacular view of the rainforest and the Pacific ocean. Lollo, the host, is an excellent cook (we enjoyed dinner) and a very friendly and helpful host.

HOTEL GEORGI CR, hotel in Venado

HOTEL GEORGI CR features a shared lounge, restaurant, a bar and private beach area in Guanacaste.

The hotel appeared to be in a state of ongoing renovation. The staff was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Once I arrived to the room I noticed that the door did not offer much in the way of security. Although the door had a locking feature, the fit of the door left a sizable gap along the frame. The room had both A/C and a ceiling fan. There was no closet in the room, but a dresser was provided for storage. The bathroom was clean however, the water temperature left me chilly as the maximum level of hot was less than lukewarm. The restaurant food was good and adequately priced. The hotel was within walking distance to the beach. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, clean property with a great staff, consider the Hotel Georgi in Playa Junquillal.

SoulShine, hotel in Venado

Located in Playa Avellana, a 6-minute walk from Avellanas Beach, SoulShine has accommodations with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. Guests can use a bar.

This is a beautiful oasis in a quiet location with access to beaches and restaurants. You feel like you are in a serene getaway. The rooms were super cute and decorated so nicely. There was AC and the beds were comfortable. The staff was so nice. I had a small issue with ants in my room and the women at the front desk were super helpful and made sure it was fixed. The best part of the property though is the food! They have the best brunch. If you want something in a quiet area that is very beachy I recommend this location.

Latica Lodge, hotel in Venado

Located in Playa Negra, Latica Lodge features a garden and terrace. Both free WiFi and private parking are available at the hotel.

We had so much fun here on a weekend getaway. The hosts Karin and Oliver were wonderful. It was lovely to see someone living out their dreams! We happened to be there on a weekend where they were hosting a circus retreat and ended with a show and bbq, then live cuban band. We also tried the trapeze which none of us had ever had the opportunity to do. Who would have thought we'd do it near a remote beach in Costa Rica? We had a great time!

    The area is called Venado, but it is more accurate to call...

    The area is called Venado, but it is more accurate to call it Junquillal Beach. The beach is superb. Not lots of people at all. Most tourist come for the day and leave. This is turtle nesting spot which makes it more special. Perfect for people looking for a natural isolated beach. Very clean and beautiful. Not a lot of restaurants or supermarkets nearby. There are few but basic... Still you will get the basic stuff to spend a great time there... oh don't forget the perfect sunsets :)
