The peaceful fishing village of Playa Negra de Los Pargos, still retains its rustic rural charm of Costa Rica from years past. You will not find any high rises, large hotels or condos or waiting taxis in Playa Negra. As of yet, roads aren’t paved out here at the beach which helps to keep our little town accessible to tourism activities, while protected from over development. Our rush hour traffic is a herd of cattle crossing the road or a stray pig or the occasional horses wondering the road. Most of the locals walk and get around on bikes, motorcycles, and horses and even Ox carts are still in use for hauling large loads. We have beautiful scenery; lush vegetation, lots of monkeys, iguanas, birds, turtles, horses, unpolluted waters and pristine beaches. We have exceptional surfing on reef and beach breaks; interspersed with black and white sand beach areas for swimming, tidal pools for exploring, snorkeling in shallow waters, and fishing sites. There are stretches of beach for exploring, long walks and sharing memories. With a community of friendly people from all parts of the world, there is most everything you need accessible to this area. You will find a few small stores with the basic necessities, art and souvenir shops, surf and bikini shop, yoga and massage services and some incredibly good restaurants thanks to several internationally trained professional chefs living here. If you need nightlife, a drugstore or medical care, gasoline, bank or an ATM, or large grocery stores to stock up, the nearest ones are in Tamarindo or Santa Cruz, about a 30-minute drive away. The easiest and most flexible way of traveling while in Costa Rica and to Playa Negra and Casa Papaya Con Leche is to rent a car. Roads are generally in good condition and getting better every year. 4WD is recommended during the rainy season, from May to December, because a lot of roads are still uneven and unpaved. You can get by with 2 wheel drive cars during the dry season however the drive may a bit slower as you will not have the clearance for some crossings on the dirt roads. Renting a car is not necessary if your style is to stay put at your vacation rental and just relax; we can arrange your ground transportation for you, stock the kitchen and send in the chef. However, it is recommended and renting a car allows you the flexibility to enjoy your vacation just the way you want, explore neighboring beaches, and drive to restaurants at night or other side trips and adventures whenever you feel like it. We will be happy to help you with your car rental or any other travel arrangements, just let us know your needs. Included with the amenities is phone, internet, wifi, and for those of who need TV there is Sat Cable. There is a full washer and dryer, hair dryer, beach towels and we supply filtered drinking water. Thank you for consideration and feel free to contact us!
