El Jardin de Playa Negra

Bien que jolie avec une belle terrasse extérieure, cette maison manque d’entretien : porte de placard branlante, 2 lits qui grincent au moindre mouvement empêchant de dormir, un robinet de lavabo déscellé, micro-ondes en panne, porte d’entrée difficile à ouvrir, et interrupteurs difficiles à trouver. Nous avons été aussi un peu déçu de l’accueil froid de la propriétaire, pas franchement à l’écoute et peu prévenante: nous avons certes eu 1h de retard sur l’heure d’arrivée mais personne pour nous accueillir et directives peu claires, l’eau n’était pas potable mais aucune bouteille de dépannage prévue à notre arrivée malgré la présence de jeunes enfants dans notre groupe, 1 rouleau de papier toilette pour 5 personnes et nous avons dû en réclamer (nous en avons eu 1 autre). On a trouvé ça cher payé pour cette expérience mitigée.

sylvia was so accommodating and provided us with very helpful tips for our stay. before arriving she helped recommend and book multiple excursions and tours for us. and anytime we had questions while we were there she answered on whatsapp or in person very quickly. she’s very kind and el jardin is a lovely quiet and safe little place

A great property to stay at for the real experience of local life! Weather was great, no electronics, we will boom this place every time we visit Costa Rica! Close by the local shops and food! Thank you for the experience!! Host was amazing!!

Lovely accommodations. Short walk or tuk tuk ride to town. Like having a full kitchen. Beds were a bit squeaky. Owner was lovely women from Switzerland. She assisted in finding people to get us places. Was a lovely stay. Enjoyed the wildlife that surrounded our house.

Thought it was a cabin hotel in the jungle near the beach. Except it was a slave cabin next to estate. Outside the cabin there is your own space. Kitchen & dining area. Really close to beach. Only real problem is WiFi is unreliable as well as phone data. Host was cool. She what’s app me to find me when lost. Had to attach to a hotel WiFi. Really hard to find since it’s someone’s house in the middle of nowhere rather than a hotel. Host came and got me.
