Overpriced, needs mayor fixing and updates.

Overpriced hotel. None knew our two families were coming. Not very organized. Very basic kitchen, stove didn't work, TV didn't work, only one bathroom for two bedrooms, water flow extremely low, tasted and smelled extremely unpleasant, no lighting to walk from parking area to room ( we had to use our flashlights), gym was non operational, old, rusty, no A/C and windows broken. Pool was very nice but lights were loose (not safe). Pool beds were old and dirty (can't be used). WiFi worked randomly. Refrigerator, coffee maker and blender were nice. A/C in each room worked well. Place needs some mayor fixing up. Maintenance guy was very pleasant and nice, he came to show us a sloth that was crossing the street.

This "hotel" was the worst we took in our trip in Costa Rica. For that amount of money go to another hotel, DO NOT STAY HERE. It's away of beach, away of Puerto Viejo center, dark street, no signs to recognize there is a hotel. Is not a hotel, is a group of cabinas..

Expected more

Pros: surrounded by nature, wildlife and pure air. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, with full kitchens. The owner is generally nice and very involved in community and environmental affairs. Cons: the hotel is rather isolated and the road isn't very good. The beach is about 700 meters away. No air conditioning. Not very accessible to the elderly or disabled due to walkways covered with loose stones and slippery bathroom floors. Has no restaurant. Offers only breakfast which is individually prepared and then taken in turn to each room, which makes it a lengthy process. The staff is minimal.

Hotel mitten im Urwald und trotzdem in Strandnähe

Tolle, helle, ruhige, riesengroße und sehr saubere Suite mit einer großen Terrasse, auf der uns das Frühstück serviert wurde. In der Suite gab es auch eine Küche, die man hätte nutzen können. Braucht jedoch ein Auto um die Anlage zu erreichen. Sehr nette Eigentümer. Schöner Pool und nette Außenanlage mit vielen Blumen, an denen ab und zu Kolibries zu sehen waren.

Accesability: VERY POOR

After 25 minutes of searching for the hotel, due to the lack of clear signage, I went through A flooded creek(small) as it was pouring with rain. If you dont have a car or own transport, everytime you want to go to town, you have to get a cab at $7 for a 5 minute ride, each way. For this reason, I didnt stay. I want a refund

Not really a hotel

The VIP 'Hotel' is not really a hotel. It has no reception, bar or restaurant. It is two sets of three apartments either side of a good pool which was the best feature of the accommodation and a gym. Each apartment has a kitchenette so you're are really in self catering accommodation. It is poorly located being 1.5km down a poor quality dirt track road and quite difficult to find and realise that you have arrived when you get there. Breakfast was brought to your apartment at 8am and was not particularly good quality or the cooked part hot. We were glad to leave as this accommodation was very poor value for money.

Way to expensive

This hotel was not worth the money and the rating it currently had. We asked to get the sorry excuse for breakfast early one day and they gave us some fruit instead. The location was way of the grid and the bicycles was in a bad condition and too few for the amount of people living there.

In the middle of no where and too noisy!

I feel that the hotel is overpriced and breakfast is the worst I've had in Costa Rica, we skipped it after 2 mornings, eggs, or an omelette and some fruit served with dry bread on the side. We travel all around the world and for the money we paid, I would honestly say that it's the least value place I have ever stayed. It's situated down a very long dirt track at least 2km from civilisation. The nearest beach and hotel is the beautiful!!! banana azure hotel where he stopped for cocktails whilst watching a sloth in there tree's. The staff and owner do try to make you feel welcome and if it wasn't so remote and half the price I would not be writing this negative review. Also I have come to Costa Rica to see the wildlife, however the howling money's screamed at 4.50am every morning without fail- funny on the first morning- also just to add we never saw them!

Un comodo rifugio nel verde

Abbiamo passato 3 giorni in questo bel posto nel verde, non lontano dal mare. Gli alloggi sono molto spaziosi, con una bella camera con porta finestra che da sulla foresta, un grandissimo soggiorno con cucina completa, un grande bagno ed una fantastica veranda con amaca che da sul giardino e la piscina. La padrona di casa, Marian, e' molto gentile così' come Minerva, la giovane donna che l'aiuta e che porta la colazione direttamente nell'alloggio alla mattina. La spiaggia si raggiunge con un breve tratto in auto o in bicicletta in mezzo ad una natura lussureggiante. Sicuramente un posto molto bello e confortevole. Ci sono solo 6 alloggi e il luogo è' molto tranquillo.

Calme

Pas vraiment un hotel, plutôt des grandes villas de pleins pieds. Nous avons séjourner en couple 5 jours à l'hotel VIP Hotel playa Negra. Nous avons été les seuls résidents pendant notre séjour. Le pied! Le cadre est aypique: isolé au milieu de la jungle. L'accès nécessite une voiture. Les chambres n'ont malheureusement pas la climatisation. Mise à part cela, les petits déjeuners servis sur la terrasse sont excellent, on se sent bichonnés. La piscine est très jolie et très agréable. Un moment de détente pure.

Hotel with nature experience

Lovely place where you really felt you where living in the jungle. The hostess was very helpful and we enjoyed the breakfast in the morning and the very beautiful pool and garden just outside our spacious "apartment". Around the fitness room you can watch the red-eyed tree frogs after dark. Treat them well, they are rare. Suitable for travelers with car or who like to be a little physically active. We loved it!
