Papi's Place: Private Pool Villa in Playa Negra, Costa Rica

A Private Pool. The Caribbean Coast. Pura Vida.

Papi's Place is a private pool villa tucked inside a gated compound in Playa Negra, one of Costa Rica's most beautiful and least-crowded Caribbean coastal communities. The pool is one of the very few private pools in the entire area, and it's consistently the first thing guests mention when they talk about their stay.

Playa Negra's secluded, pristine black-sand beach is 5 minutes away, and the Sloth Sanctuary is 10 minutes away. Between the two, you have everything the Caribbean side of Costa Rica does best, without the crowds of the more touristed coast.

THE PROPERTY - SLEEPS 5
Two bedrooms, each with a king bed; the second room adds a full-size futon for a fifth guest. Two bathrooms. Air conditioning in every room, room-darkening shades for real sleep, and a smart lock for easy self check-in.

The open-plan living space opens to the pool and lush tropical gardens. Full kitchen for cooking in, al fresco dining outside, and a dedicated workspace if you're extending the trip. High-speed WiFi and a Smart TV round out the essentials.
