Wow, what all to say about Casa Piña!  If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, pristine casa in Puerto Viejo, this is it!  This house has a home-like feel in the heart of the Costa Rican Caribbean and is only steps away from the ocean.  The property landscape is luscious and tropical with native plants all throughout - a true oasis.  There are numerous seating areas - both covered and uncovered - surrounding the private and refreshing pool.  With only a short 15-20 minute walk along the beach to town, you are moments from the action in town including restaurants, shopping, and markets. This is a highly recommended stay in a beautiful, must see area of Costa Rica.  Without a doubt, we would stay again at Casa Piña.  Thanks to Susana for making our stay unforgettable as well as her responsive, excellent communication. Nos vemos Casa Piña!

We absolutely loved staying here! The grounds were absolutely beautiful. The little green dart frogs jumping around were so cute! The pool and wet bar area were definitely a hit with us. Very clean and spacious place. Private access to the beautiful black sand beach was amazing! Def would stay again!

Thankyou Alaina for your kind words. We really try and make our guests have the best possible experience at Casa Piña and are happy when guests are happy! Until next time....

We would highly recommend this place.  Just far enough away from the town for peace and quiet and close enough to walk.  Right next to the beach, lots of places to chill.  Susana was super helpful and friendly.  The place was immaculate and we would definitely go back there for a beach escape.

We had a wonderful few nights at Casa Piña. Susana, who manages the Airbnb, was extremely helpful, friendly, and generous. The place was kept very clean and we felt right at home. The outside spaces were gorgeous and we used the pool multiple times daily. We also had a recommended massage therapist come to the home and it was wonderful. It is a beautiful walk to town, and just far enough away to be peaceful. We had agouti, frogs, and beautiful birds visit not to mention Tico, the pup, who made our trip. Can not recommend Casa Piña enough, and we hope to return! It was perfect for us.

Beautiful home in paradise! We had a lovely vacation staying at Casa Pina. The home was spacious, comfortable, well equipped, clean and private. We really appreciated the two separate living spaces so each couple had privacy. The pool space and outdoor living area was fantastic! That’s where we spent most of our time. Easy access to the beach was nice as well. We were within walking distance of a couple good restaurants and a grocery store. Downtown was a 20+ minute walk or 6 minute bike ride. Side note: There is no washer/dryer onsite to use. There is a house cleaner that can do loads of laundry for a fee. We had an amazing time and would recommend to others!

Loved staying here! Susana was great and we loved tico.

Casa Pina was the perfect getaway. The location was unbelievable, access to the beach was extraordinary, the pool, the garden was well kept and picturesque, susana - the house manager made sure we were well guided, I can go on and on. Thank you for making our trip extra special. Please tell tico we miss him so much.

Where do I start. This place is phenomenal.  Perfectly clean. Everything you need for your stay. Great bedrooms and bathrooms.  Gorgeous property.  Absolutely perfect beach to enjoy and swim in. Great pool. Our favorite spot was the outside living room type area which we spent most of our time when at the house.  Susana was perfect in corresponding with us. Having Tico the house dog was awesome.  The entire house is tastefully decorated in Pineapples. The proximity to Puerto Viejo and the other towns down the coast was perfect.  We couldn't have had a better time.  Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.

Thankyou David for your glowing review! As property manager of Patricia's lovely place, it's always so rewarding when guests appreciate all of her artistry in the details of Casa Piña! We will welcome you back any time.....including Tico!!

The host was very attentive, the location is amazing, and the home was beautifully decorated and comfortable. The pool was wonderful, and the dog and cat on the property were both friendly and sweet—they helped us miss our own pets a little less since this stay was at the tail end of our vacation. The only caution is around the pool area: the tile can be a bit slippery when wet, and there are some different elevations surrounding the pool to be mindful of.

Thankyou Steven for your kind words and your feedback. we are taking your observations very seriously and will either completely change that tile or cover the area with anti slip rugs and precautionary tape to avoid any problems for people. Thankyou again!

Patricia and her property manager Susanna are fabulous. Patricia has such a beautiful home and she has made it even more cozy with all the sitting areas and all the gorgeous plants. All the amenities you could ever need made it feel like home. Having a pool was nice but being mere steps away from the beach and the ocean put this place over the top for us. Susanna was also so helpful in providing us with all the best places to visit and where to eat in addition to taxi services. We literally felt so at home!! Thank you Patricia and thank you Susanna!! We will be back!  Such a beautiful place!

Thankyou Kris, Karen, Taylor and Tray for being so enthusiastic and upbeat about everything! Thankyou for your kind words and we would welcome you again anytime with open arms! The best possible review is when people feel at home and have a fabulous time and enjoy all the care that Patricia puts into making Casa Piña beautiful and comfortable. Until next time!

Casa Pina was a magical spot!  Beautiful - better than the photos with an incredible garden.  Being right on the lovely beach was wonderful and our family started each day with an ocean swim.  Susana was a fantastic host and was friendly and responsive with lots of good recommendations.  We were very sad to leave this special place.

Thankyou for your kind words Maureen! We will welcome you back any time!

This was my second time staying at Casa Pina, and it was just as great the second time around.  The house and grounds are lovingly kept, and the beach is absolutely beautiful.  There are new restaurants around the area, so it is now more walkeable.  Susana is amazing to coordinate with and very responsive, and she provides a lot of local recommendations.

thankyou Alison for your kind words and for your return visit! it was lovely to meet your friends from Australia and I'm so happy they enjoyed the place as well. I'll be waiting for you a third time around!

Susanna is a fantastic host! Great communication, helpful assistance with getting to and from the airport (our driver even ended up being our guide through Cahuita National Park!), checked in with us multiple times throughout our stay and was quick to respond with any questions we had. The property was immaculate and carefully curated to embrace the pineapple theme without being tacky or kitschy.  I give Susanna and Casa Pina 5 stars and highly recommend🍍⭐️

Amy, thankyou for your kind words! You were lovely easy guests and we would happily host you again any time. Blessings to you!

This home is a gem in disguise. The landscaping is absolutely beautiful. We came here for a week. It was a long drive from the San Jose international airport but well worth it. Very sweet local town. The people in the town are really nice. The food is absolutely delicious and clean. Ice cream is delicious. We had a wonderful vacation, celebrating our sister’s 60th birthday. We loved having the pool to relax at during the heat of the day. Great kitchen to make breakfast everyday. Grocery store is not far at all. The dog and 2 cats are so cute and sweet. I 100% recommend this beautiful paradise home to everyone. 🩷 Susana was fantastic!! Thank you to the owner for sharing your home

Thankyou Helen for your kind words! We would happily host you or any of your family if you ever return. Casa Piña, the dogs, cat and staff will be waiting for you. Thankyou for taking special care of our feisty cat!

Pictures do not do it justice! A beautifully landscaped slice of paradise. So much to do, and the pets were a special little extra as we missed ours back at home! Everything was perfect and we hope to come back one day.

Fantastic house in beautiful surroundings! The location right on the beach was fantastic. The cute sloth in the garden is another highlight. We will be happy to come back any time and are in love with this house. Susanna supported us with all questions, thank you very much 🙏

Traumhaftes Haus in wunderschöner Umgebung! Die Lage direkt am Strand war traumhaft. Das süße Sloth im Garten ein weiteres Highlight. Wir kommen gerne jederzeit wieder und sind verliebt in dieses Haus. Susanna hat uns bei allen Fragen super unterstützt, vielen Dank 🙏

Casa Pina had such a lush beautiful landscapes backyard. Pool was clean & so convenient to have right outside the door. The inside of home tastefully decorated. Lots of space. Kitchen has spices oils & teas. 2 bikes for use. Walk to the town from beach. Would 100 percent recommend & no doubt would stay again.

Great stay at Casa Pina, the furnishing, plants, art were all so well done. Loved the living walls and the beach access.

Thankyou Jeff for the feedback and for your links! I will look them up for sure!

We were 6 people, all couples had their own room, the location is insanely beautiful with beach access. Very well maintained and many beautiful plants. Kitchen has everything you need.

Wir waren 6 Personen, alle Paare hatten ein eigenes Zimmer, die Lage ist wahnsinnig schön mit dem Strandzugang. Sehr gepflegt und viele schöne Pflanzen. Küche hat alles was man braucht.

What a wonderful home is Casa Piña!  Beautiful gardens and shaded sitting areas, as well as the lovely pool, and magic, short walk directly to the ocean. It felt like a dream being there for five nights.  We plan to come back for sure.

We absolutely loved Casa Pina and Susana was wonderful!! We will definitely be back!

Casa Pina embodies the Costa Rican costal vibe and is probably my favorite Air B&B I've ever stayed in. The backyard could be a private garden with more flowers, plants and wildlife than in most sanctuary's we visited. You have your own access to what feels like a private black beach and the manager Susanna is like your personal concierge. This house was beyond amazing. I would highly recommend visiting the BriBri territory and making chocolate for an authentic experience, the family we visited was so kind.  The food everywhere in Puerto Viejo was amazing

Our stay at Casa Peña was amazing! The yard was beautiful. The pool and beach were extremely relaxing and enjoyable. Susana was so friendly and helpful. Tiko is the cutest little dog ever and the cat is adorable. I would highly recommend Casa Peña.

Exactly as pictured and magical place! From the landscaping to interior, everything exceeded our expectations based on the listing. Everything was clean, kitchen well stocked and felt very safe. Bikes were super helpful to get into town or grocery store down the road. Lots of great local recommendations and Susana was an incredible host who helped us set up massages at the house, a driver and other recommendations. Having the beach right there early morning and at night was the best of all!! And the salt water pool made for perfect lazy afternoon. And Tico (and the little cat) made us so happy, we missed our animals back home so it was really special to have Tico waiting for us when we got home. Amazing stay, highly recommend!!

We had a wonderful stay: fantastic garden with pool and private access to the beach, great location to restaurants and town center, very good communication and service. Ideal for chilling. Highly recommended!

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt: traumhafte Gartenanlage mit Pool und privatem Zugang zum Strand, tolle Lage zu Restaurants und Ortskern, sehr gute Kommunikation und Service. Ideal zum Chillen. Sehr zu empfehlen!

Casa Pina was perfect for us. The layout with the separate apartment was great for us traveling with older teens. Playa Negra is beautiful and listening to the waves is heavenly. Susana was a wonderful host very warm, kind & helpful. I highly recommend staying here when coming to the area. Thanks for a fabulous stay!

Thankyou Danyell for being the kind of guests that are a delight to host! Hopefully you will make it back to this area again!

Casa Pina was great! The landscaping was to die for, and a couple markets and restaurants were within a short-ish walk. The beach was amazing, and there was hardly anyone there. The house consists of a 2 bedroom 2 bath, and then the lower 1 bedroom in the 2 story house (no access to the top floor). The road that the house is on was a bit busy with big trucks , but it seemed there was road works being done nearby, and it died down after 4pm and when it rained. Susana, the manager was really friendly, and the resident chihuahua who roamed around outside during the day was adorable!! We’d definitely stay again if in PV!

This house is so beautiful ! We did not stay long enough to fully enjoy but I wish we did ! The property is called Casa De Pina if I’m not mistaken and the pics do not do it justice! Gorgeous property!

Casa Pina is everything you want for a vacation. Stunning views and a great host. We could not have asked for a better experience!

My family (me, husband and two adult kids) stayed at Casa Pina April 1st to 8th.  It was perfect - from the beautiful gardens to a comfortable well decorated home.  We would spend our mornings on the almost private black sand beach.  The town is only a 5 minute drive and has many delicious restaurants.  The property also has two wonderful dogs.  They would be so happy to see us each morning.  Host Susana was very tentative and friendly.  We definitely will be back.

Casa Piña feels like a home away from home. One of the best places to stay in Puerto Viejo and Susana is the best host you could ask for. Highly recommend!

Staying at Casa Piña was an absolutely incredible experience for our family! The home is beautiful and exactly as pictured, the yard is beautifully designed by a true artist, and the direct access to the beach was unbeatable. Susana, the manager, was accessible at any time we needed anything and was incredibly proactive and just lovely human. We miss this place already and hope to return in the future! Literally the best place to stay in Puerto Viejo!!!

Thankyou Katy for your kind words! You were a very lovely family to host and we would welcome you back any time, so let us know about that retreat you're planning!

Just wonderful, the Casa Piña. Highly recommend!

Einfach wunderbar, die Casa Piña. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Casa Piña is a dream. Susana is an incredible host. She makes sure you feel cared for from the moment you arrive and throughout the stay. This is my second time at Casa Piña and I stayed double the amount of time. Susana helped us organize massages on the back patio and a private lunch that was hands down the best meal we had the whole time (which is a high bar because everywhere we ate in puerto Viejo was delicious) The house, yard and backyard beach access are priceless. Nothing but gratitude and appreciation - Casa Piña, see you soon!

It was a beautiful property with such vibrant colours and nature filling the space. The private beach and personal pool was incredible and the space is a good spot for hanging out and I highly recommend for anyone staying in puerto viejo

Thankyou Sebastián! You and your friends were a pleasure to host. Until next time!

Beautiful property, layout is perfect for couples traveling together. The main house has 2 bedrooms on opposite sides of the house. There is also a cute, small apartment across from the pool with a view of the beautiful lawn and the Caribbean sea behind it. The house is truly turn key vacation. Tastefully decorated around the pineapple theme, Kitchen well equipped, including some spices. Grocery store is walking distance, which made stocking up an easy task. We also noticed small items like a couple of ponchos, umbrellas, first aid kit, family games, yoga and bambú mats available for our use. Everything has been thought of. Susana was quite possibly the best host we’ve ever experienced. Not only is she very attentive and thorough, she also helped us coordinate a day of R&R with massages on-site, by Sophie massage, and an authentic meal by Amparo. Highly recommend adding both of these activities to your visit. Piña is a symbol of welcoming and hospitality, at Casa Piña you feel it.

Absolutely stunning property, upgraded throughout, and an overall 5-Star experience. The black beach steps away was truly magical. We love this home and our entire trip!

Host was friendly and knowledgeable. Stay is Well priced. Beautifully curated home with well designed spaces and amazing outdoor gardens and bedrooms. AC in all indoor spaces, beach front, pool, security guard on grounds. Close to town yet feels secluded. Grocery store and bar near by. Overall would recommend this stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Pina and we were sad to leave! Susana is the best host with tons of local knowledge. The space is suited for large groups. We only had four and were able to spread out. We especially enjoyed the pool and the view of the ocean/ beach access. This is definitely the place to come to relax for a week and recharge! We wished we had stayed longer than three nights! We would love to return!

This is a wonderful place to stay. Great proximity to Puerto Viejo. Very responsive host. Pool is awesome and the walk to the beach is short.

Right on the black sand beach, so beautiful and felt super safe … really good security! The host was very friendly and gave a lot of recommendations nearby. We loved having the separate apartment space, perfect for a family of 6. Highly recommend!!

Casa Piña is a beautiful house with lots of colors and surrounded by nature. You can tell that every single detail was carefully thought out. It looks just like the pictures. My family felt very confortable and secure during our stay. The location is perfect, close to the beach, restaurants and supermarkets but private enough. Susana was very nice to us and easy to reach, she also gave us great recommendations. We would absolutely stay again.

Thankyou Maria for your kind words! We are ready to have you back any time!!

If I could give 10 stars I would! This place was amazing. So amazing in fact I almost don't want to write a good review so that it becomes unavailable in the future haha. But you won't be disappointed - it was perfect in so many ways. From Susanna who was the hostest with the mostest, to the serene atmosphere all around. It's so close to town yet removed from the hustle and bustle. Direct access to the beach was something we wanted and we found that and more at Casa Pina. While there was only two of us, it's the perfect set up for a family or a small group of friends. We didn't have any issues with bugs, which i'm going to credit to the blue/black frogs, the sloths and beautiful birds that will sing to you all day. The pool was a perfect alternative to swimming in the ocean due to the rip tide and currents. If you're looking for a place to rejuvenate, relax and restore, look no further - Casa Pina is the answer!

The amenities and location of the property are very good. It was very pleasant to have a pool to cool off. Contact with Susana was straightforward and hassle-free. We would book this place again.

Die Ausstattung und Lage der Unterkunft ist sehr gut. Es war sehr angenehm einen Pool zum abkühlen zu haben. Der Kontakt mit Susana war unkompliziert und problemlos. Wir würden diese Unterkunft wieder buchen.

Thankyou for your feedback Chris!! It is very helpful.....blessings to all of you!

My family absolutely fell in love with this property. No detail went unnoticed. The gardens & landscaping are breathtaking. Steps to the beach. So many places to enjoy. We felt comfortable the moment we walked in. Perfect for our family of 7 to relax as a family or easily drive into town. Puerto Viejo is a great town; something to do for everyone! Very close to excursions, parks for hiking & many beaches! Tico, the resident dog, is absolutely adorable. Susana & Aracely were very sweet & helpful. We hope to return some day!

Thankyou Nicole! It was so fun to host you and realize your deep connection  to Costa Rica.....it's part of you! So I expect to see you again!

Excellent house. Very good location with direct access to a perfect beach for bathing. Very comfortable and friendly. Recommended

Excelente casa. Muy buena ubicación con salida directa a una playa perfecta para bañarse. Muy cómoda y con cordialidad en el trato. Recomendada

Great place for big groups. Beachfront, exceptional house and amenities, near the center of the town, restaurants, shops, etc. There are bikes available for you to use, clean and nice pool. No laundry room though and no toiletries. The attention the host gave us was excellent and would definitely stay again :)

This really is a gem. We loved spending time at the house, flowing between the ocean and the pool. The host Susana was wonderful and gave us great recommendations. The house was secure and safe. We couldn’t have asked for better

Place is beautiful and in the perfect location with plenty of space for a large group. The host (Susanna) was delightful and a huge help with any information we needed. Town is within walking distance and the backyard ocean is amazing!! Even had a sloth and her baby on property all 5 days we were there. We will be returning.

Casa Pina is a rare find in Puerto Viejo.  Privacy, beach access, a pool and AC for respite, when needed.  It was the perfect set up for our family.  Having caretakers on site, who are elusive and not intrusive, is a great plus for when you need support.  Susana, the property manager, is on attentively on call and when something needs fixing, and with her responsive team, she can get thing done within a day or so, which is impressive for the Caribbean!  All this, with beautiful interior design, that feels terrific.

This is a great property teaming with lush, tropical plants and trees. There is a great path straight from the gate of the house that leads you to the beautiful black sand beach. We enjoyed the pool which was always sparkling clean. Susanna was a great host and the guard, Jose was always pleasant and responsive. We had a great stay and would highly recommend this property. It is close by to restaurants, beaches, coffee shop, organic food stores!

Casa Piña was great for our stay with 3 couples in their 30s! The pool was great to have, even if it rained, it was so warm and a great place to hang out. The kitchen in the main house was equipped for cooking meals and making drinks!Main house is nicely air conditioned if needed, the other 2 units are not. We didn’t stay in the smaller downstairs unit at all but the top one with ocean views was beautiful! Great addition with the fans up there to make it cool and relaxing for sleeping. The access to the beach is absolutely beautiful. It’s open to anyone but there was barley anyone there. Mattresses are all pretty firm but comfortable and stocked with plenty of pillows and blankets. Had plenty of towels for shower and pool. Highly recommend taking out the yoga mats and doing some yoga on the top deck, composting, and just wandering the garden to observe nature’s creatures (fireflies that looked like hundreds of fairies, frogs, cricket looking bugs, cute and hard working ants, geckos and more!)

Very nice place in a wonderful environment right in front of the beach, only a few minutes away from Puerto Viejo. Fully equipped, super secure and a wonderful host!

An amazing house on an amazing beach beside lovely Puerto Viejo. We will return if we are allowed :)

Hidden Gem. Lovely villa with pool directly by the beach. Brilliant hosts with Susana and Jose. We loved everything and will return.

Lovely place, we will be back! This is the most beautiful house my family and I have rented in this area. Susana is really helpful and responsive.

We love Casa Pina! It’s been our second stay here now and super happy. Everything is perfect!

Our group couldn't of asked for a better place for our stay here in Puerto Viejo and Susana was an amazing host with great suggestions and tips. Casa Pina was bright, spacious, comfortable and quiet. It really made it easy to just hang out for the day with our salt water pool and basically a private beach all to ourselves. Located just before you enter the vibrant town of Puerto Viejo. 3 minute drive, 7 minute bike ride or 20 minute walk our group did all three during our stay. Puerto Viejo is an incredible town, great restaurants, beaches and excursions to the jungle and waterfalls. The people are so lovely in this town and we loved how the locals are more integrated here than most other areas of Costa Rica that are mostly ex-pats. BIG BONUS is the restaurant prices are 25%-50% less than the rest of Costa Rica which made it easier for the group to go out a few more times. We also cooked many of our meals which was fun to just relax and hang at the house. We will definitely be returning to Puerto Viejo and Casa Pina in the future. I highly recommend booking this place. Pura Vida :)

5 Stars! Perfect location, amazing pool and very welcoming and helpful host! Thank you Susana!

we had a wonderful stay at Casa Piña. the house and property are beautiful and have beach access. Great hospitality and communication, we would definitely come back next time we're in Puerto Viejo!

Beautiful house, fully equipped, close to everything! We will definitely be back

Casa hermosa, totalmente equipada, cerca de todo! Definitivamente volveremos

PROS: - If the communication was better and the racist Black character in the kitchen was removed, I would stay again. - beautiful location - almost private access to the beach - studio upstairs was beautiful (had a lot of ants even tho no one had been there before us ) CONS - POOL was dirty 5/6 days we stayed here - racist “mammy” character in the kitchen. She’s holding a watermelon and is fat dark skinned with an enormous behind. This character came from the Jim Crow era. - There is a man that lives on the property who is supposed to be there to groundskeep but again the pool wasn’t cleaned. He did get a spider for us, and that was helpful bc it was the size of my hand. Absolutely huge. We had not been told this and as three femmes we weren’t prepared at all for this news. I ASKED AND WAS TOLD THE SPACE WAS PRIVATE BUT IT WAS NOT. - multiple poisonous frogs on the property (they look beautiful, don’t touch tho) - main house smelled of Sulfur for days! Including the shower. I couldn’t even comfortably wash my face in there. We payed sooooo much money to stay here that the misinformation, racism, lack of attention to detail, and terrible sulfur water made this purchase almost regrettable. We could have certainly found a cheaper place just as beautiful with more amenities. It was last minute so we bared it. Again if things were different we would certainly come back. Just our honest feedback. Also the neighbor was AMAZING and so informative.

Tassiana  I am so sorry that this accumulation of issues affected your stay at Casa Piña. Our desire is for our guests to be happy and comfortable and relaxed and it sounds like we did not provide the background for that to happen for you. The things that we can correct, we will and we appreciate your honesty because that is the only way we can grow and provide a better experience for our guests. I would like to address each point though so you can also understand where we are coming from. 1.The communication about privacy was definitely misunderstood on both sides. I did not know if there was a couple in the group or not so that 2 people would be in the main bedroom. You asked for space and I assumed based on my experience with other guests that you wanted to be sure the apartments were not rented out to a separate group, which is something we never do and I assured you of this. I did not know that each person who came wanted a separate unit, but upon your arrival when this became apparent, the issue was resolved within minutes and all 3 of you had your own separate spaces.  2.The presence of a male night guard on the property was not something you knew about and again, I apologize for this, as it was something that made you uncomfortable and that is never our intention. Again, based on my experience with previous guests, a guard has always been a welcome amenity, and is there to provide assistance and security to our guests. Our guard Jose was chosen with care. He is discreet, respectful and kind. But I also understand where you are coming from, since you were 3 female friends travelling alone and it was unexpected. We are including this in the description of the property to avoid any issues with this in the future. 3.Given that you expressed your desire for complete privacy, we asked Jose to show himself as little as possible, and it is probable that there were more leaves in the pool than normal since he is the one who cleans it. The water quality itself was transparent as Arelis, the cleaning girl, keeps me informed of this. 4.Ants, frogs and spiders are important parts of the local jungle environment where we live here, and out of respect for their habitat, we learn to live with them and remove them if they are in our space. I´m glad Jose could provide this service for you with the spider in the house, which he did immediately when you made me aware it was there. The ones that are poisonous are not deadly, and pose no threat to humans if left alone and even if you touch one, the worst thing you might feel is a bit of skin irritation. 5.The sulfur smell was a definite lapse on our part, as well water if it stands for a while gets that sulfur smell. Thankyou for letting us know and Arelis will be much more attentive to opening up the water pipes before guests come to clean out that smell, especially if the house has been sitting for a few days. 6.The art figure of a afro Caribbean woman holding fruits and with a pineapple on her head, is not a depiction of a Mammy character and was bought by the owner from a local female afro-caribbean artist. The owner loves pineapples and likes to support local artists, and the figure is not from the Jim Crow era in the US, but a depiction of the local afro-caribbean fruit venders and intended to be endearing. Gratefully, although there is a level of racism in Costa Rica, it is no where near what the US experiences. 7.Airbnb properties, as opposed to hotels, often do not provide sheet or towel changes unless requested by guests. We have signs up offering this service.  In closing, we appreciate feed back from guests and have taken seriously what you wrote and hope that our response helps to mitigate your frustration with Casa Piña. Blessings from all of us

Great location, just in front of Playa Negra Beach and a 2mins drive to Puerto Viejo. Literally everything has pineapples all around which makes honor it's name Casa Piña. Susana and the local staff are great hosts and always avaliable to help. Saltwater pool is also a big plus
