I appreciated the silence in the night, the swimming pool, the breakfast with the best bread I had in Costa Rica, the beach right across the street, and having different sizes of pillows to choose from. Everything was stellar, save for a little detail: there was no hot water in the shower. I pointed out on the first morning, but it was the same on the next day. Fortunately, room temperature water is not too cold in Cahuita.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. From the moment we arrived, every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. The staff, the breathtaking views, the beautiful location, and the outstanding service made this the highlight of our trip.

The entire team was exceptional. The servers were friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the food was incredible. Enjoying lunch and dinner on the beach each day was an unforgettable experience.

A special thank you goes to the woman who checked us in at the resort. We affectionately called her \"Angel\" because of how genuinely kind, caring, and helpful she was throughout our stay. She made us feel completely at home and took such wonderful care of us.

We already miss this place and cannot wait to return. If you're planning a visit to the Caribbean side of Costa Rica, this is the place to stay. The property is truly incredible, and you will be treated with warmth, kindness, and exceptional hospitality from start to finish.

This was my first trip to PV and the Atlantida lodge was just ok. The room was poorly lit and had bare necessities. I had to ask for clean towels and a floor mat more than once. Breakfast was good. Pool was nice and the beach access was gorgeous. The kitchen was ok. High taxes and surcharge so it’s cheaper to eat elsewhere. The grounds floor was dirty and always had maintenance and construction going on. Walls are so thin I could hear the people next door cough. Overall the would say it’s a 3. Probably would not stay here again

Desayuno bufet un poco básico pero nos gustó y fue suficiente para emprender un día de aventuras. El área de piscina muy linda. Lo único que recomendamos mejorar es la habitación, se nota que son antiguas y fueron remodeladas pero hay detalles descuidados. Aún así, las camas estaban cómodas y pudimos pasarla bien.

Room infested with worms and cockroaches

At the restaurant is the beach view which is nice. Staff were adequate but unresponsive to cleanliness complaint. Pool was out of service for 2 days which really should have been stated on booking site as I would have chosen an alternative had I known that. Breakfast was average, margarine instead of butter was provided. Minimal fruit selection. The biggest issue was my room which had worms and cockroach infestation. I told the front desk and they said they would have the cleaning crew check (pretty much telling me I am in Costa Rica so this is life). I let them know I had swept them out as they seem to come out at night time. Every morning I woke up to worms and cockroaches. Even when I blocked the entrance door with a towel at base. I was cautious not to walk around bare feet. The bathroom door was clearly infested as you can see in the photos.

Without Google we would have had a hard time finding it! In our room there was a shrieking noise which we assume was from the water system - it seemed to be connected to the toilet which sometimes did not flush well. We reported it at the desk when we left - really just a minor concern.

Location is amazing, right on the beach but surrounded by the jungle.

Spacious room, great facilities at the hotel, large swimming pool, excellent cocktails, and lot of variety on the menu.

Only disappointment is the lack of selection at breakfast, and that it is the same every single day. Given the amount of exotic fruits that grow in Costa Rica, a more interesting selection of fresh fruits, juices and local dishes for breakfast would have been nice.

The hotel is a ten minute walk from central Cahuita, where there are many restaurants, tour agencies, and the national park.

Would come back without any doubt and highly recommend this hotel. Staff are all very friendly and welcoming.

The staff were very friendly, and a lot of them were bilingual which really helped for me when struggling with Spanish.

The room was lovely and clean, including the bathroom. Unfortunately there was no A/C ( my mistake when booking I didn’t check!) but the ceiling fan didn’t help with the heat and the portable fan was extremely loud ( clicking constantly not just regular fan noise).

Bed were comfortable, with extra comfy pillows and it was very dark once you closed the shutters which was a bonus.

The pool was nice in itself, but it appeared to be hired out? The only day I was there, there was a children’s birthday party ongoing in the pool. Obviously kids love to have fun in the water, which is great but the staff were not regulating any bad behaviour ( like getting hold of the hose filling the pool and purposely spraying uninvolved people laying on the loungers).

Overall I would stay again, and I think I was just unlucky with the pool as, when I checked out the following day the pool looked a relaxing place to be!

Most of the issues people might have had issues with are resolved. Pool area is great now but showers remain less than useful. Pressure and flow is very low.

The location is great although the road to town is a bit rough. Parking is excellent and the resort feels safe. It's about 50 meters from the playa Negra and restaurants are nearby.

Hotel in a beautiful setting

This hotel staff was outstanding -- the two French Canadian cousins who managed it were wonderful.
The hotel itself is set in a lush tropical garden, but the rooms are pretty basic and dark (especially when the sun goes down at 5:30). The facilities would be good for groups, since there are nice poolside amenities as well as beach access.
This hotel is in Cahuita, which is a pretty rough village 4+ hours from the airport by car over narrow roads. If you're looking for something \"off the beaten path\" this would be great. Beaches and parks were nice, and not heavily used. The national park gives you coral reef and rainforest with animals within walking distance of the hotel.

Perfect Birder's Paradise

This is hotel was started decades ago, starting with a couple of cabins for rent in a safe fenced lot. Now there are tons of rooms and cabins available, a pool, and a restaurant. The thing is, you can't tell because the gardens and trees are so thick that you can't see any other rooms unless they are right next to you. It's like a jungle paradise with fruit and flowering trees and bushes everywhere. Jasmine trees and hibiscus flowers of all kinds, Heliconia and palms, all in bloom. We saw the stunningly colorful poison dart frogs by the road, tucans and a masked tityra front the pool, and numerous other birds throughout the trails on the property. The birdsong in the morning was delightful! And of course there is the caffeine-addicted parrot demanding coffee at the restaurant... :) They rented us bicycles so it was easy to get around town though it was easy to walk everywhere too. We were a group of 6 and there was another group of professors there on an organised trip. It was perfect for people of different interests to do different things and yet we could also all meet easily for a meal or just to talk in the many inviting outdoor places. The staff was cheerful and helpful, the manager is French Canadian so is fluent in English and French too.

Friendly, family run hotel in peaceful location

Great spot to stay in chilled out Cahuita. 10 min walk to town. Friendly, relaxing family hotel set in peaceful spot next to Playa Negra. Many native animals on site, including Sloths!! Negatives: Breakfast way overpriced, and maids should pre-clean your room beforehand. Gecko droppings, ants and stained sheets not so pleasant to walk into. Still, I'd stay again !!

NOT IMPRESSED!

Room dirty and old. No hot water. Power was out for 2 hrs but that was probably not hotels fault, but not water either. Internet didn't work but at one spot. Got out of there ASAP!

Definitely Amazing

I loved virtually everything about this hidden gem, just a short walk from town and only steps from a perfect beach. Rooms were nicely decorated and spacious, as was the bathroom which had plenty of hot water.
The porch was equipped with a hammock so you could sit in the company of overwhelmingly colorful flora and fauna without anyone interrupting you. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Go to Riki's restaurant in town and order the whole snapper. Best fish I've eaten anywhere.

pretty awesome

good part: the surroundings were fantastic. they had a wonderful pool and while we we in the pool we were able to observe monkeys in the trees surrounding it, a closer view than we have had to date. the pool area, restaurant and all rooms were surrounded by beautiful tropical plants. the hotel is located directly across from the beach on the carribean ocean. it is also located withing walking distance to town which has many restaurants and shops. bad part: room was smaller than that of a typical motel and there was no tx.

Great lil hotel near beach

Was pleased to see how clean and pretty this hotel is. We saw monkeys in trees, so that made my day! The pool area was very nice and clean too. The only thing...you felt like you were sleeping in a large tent(we travel in a camper so felt at home). We stayed in room 14. The large windows have only screens so you heard all the wildlife outside. The howler monkeys keep me up all night. I felt like there was a monster outside my window! LOL they make very loud noises...a lil scary but I felt safe in the room. Also the loud noises from the large seeds falling on roof was a lil shocking to hear! BOOM like they were going to break thru the roof!
All in all was a terrific stay and would recommend to nature lovers like me!

A great combination of beach and jungle

The facility is impressive, especially the garden. If you like to see animals in the wild, here you can experience that moving from your room to the beach. The rooms have all the necessary comfort (clean, spacious, simply but nicely furnished, bathroom in good conditions) and are wonderfully deprived of the unnecessary ones (TV, WiFi, ac). The beach is gorgeous and not crowded and the town is at walking distance (20 minutes).

Lovely stay - hope to go back soon!

I had a great (second) stay in Atlantida Lodge. The hotel is a short walk from Cahuita town, so lovely and quiet, and opposite Playa Negra beach. The rooms are clean, the grounds beautiful, the hotel staff very friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back!

Great place in the jungle

The lodge is really located in a great spot. The manager is really friendly, and it's placed in a very quite location. The only problem could be that there is no air conditioning.

Great hotel a bit off the beaten path....

This hotel is awesome if you want a nice place to stay while still being surrounded by the jungle. There's a restaurant and bar on the premise and another bar/restaurant that's very close... for anything else you'll need to go to Cahuita which a couple kilometers away. It's about 5km from Cahuita National Park. The pool is awesome, the staff is great. One thing to note is that the supply of hot water seems quite limited, late at night I could take a hot shower but the rest of the day it's pretty cold... other issue is that the WiFi doesn't reach to all rooms you have to go to communal area (which is a nice spot to chill). Really though, for it's relatively remote location it exceeded my expectations, highly recommended!
