Vista Linda Cabaña, hotel in Playa Blanca

Situated in Playa Blanca, Vista Linda Cabaña features free WiFi and units fitted with a kitchen, terrace and seating area. This beachfront property offers access to a patio.

We had an amazing stay at Vista Linda. We originally booked for only one night as we didn't know how we'd handle the lack of air conditioning but there is good ventilation in the cabana. We stayed for an extra night and would have stayed longer if our itinerary had allowed for it! Manuel is so kind and friendly, he was a great help in organising transport to Barú and the mangrove and plankton tours, or even just chatting and having a drink with us. Roxana is amazing, whipping up delicious food in the kitchen and keeping the place spotless. Food portions are huge and very prices for both food and drink are very reasonable. The cabana is in a good location, away from the busiest section of the beach, although be aware there are still some boats where you enter the water. We have no complaints whatsoever, everything is as described. If you are accepting of the basic facilities on offer on Barú in general you'll not have any troubles here. I doubt you'd get a better, more relaxing atmosphere for a similar price.

Great location and the staff are so lovely and helpful. Pizzas were lovely but dinner was not so much. And spent only one night and think it’s a great value for money.

    Sol and Camille are great hosts, there are only two private rooms upstairs with their own terrace and chill out area. The bathroom is shared and basic, but fresh water at all times. All their food is home cooked, vegetarian and very delicious. You can also refill your bottle there to reduce plastic waste. They also offer tours to different places. Be informed, there is no wifi but if you have a sim card the connections works. Electricity is only available from around 7pm -7am. Very relaxed place directly at the beach.

    Located on a private beach area; quieter than most hostels. Meal options quite good. Clean establishment with friendly, available staff. Our room faced the beach, which was nice, and did not require airconditioning because of the sea breeze. Outdoor seating/lounging was pleasant.

    Great location in quiet part of Playa Blanca (the rest of the beach is incredibly busy), run by two sisters. Yes it is basic, yes you have a cold shower, yes you share the bathroom but you cannot beat the location.

    We absolutely loved this spot. It's a bit further down the beach from the playa Blanca entrance so much more quiet. Free chairs and loungers. It was incredible going to sleep hearing the wAves and waking up with the ocean only a few metreS away. We also walked to the lagoon and saw amazing bioluminescence. Mono and his wife Vanessa were wonderful hosts. We would definitely come back.

    Host was super chill, let us use snorkels and sorted us out with a ferry to isla grande (took a sneaky 20,000COP cut though). Quiet end of beach. Clean rooms.

    Kevin and Jaun were really nice hosts. They were available most of the time and unlike another comment, we had easy communication with them before staying and they advised us how to get to the accommodation and even came to pick us up from where the taxi dropped us and walked us to the accommodation. They provided food and drink which was nice. The location is on a quieter section of the beach and you can have a lot of peaceful moments.

    This charming hostel is run by the nicest family in an incredible shore front location along a quieter section of the playa. It was a shame we couldn’t speak better Spanish as it would have been so nice to have gotten to know them better. it was also so handy to be able to book tours and taxis directly through Sol.
