We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property and loved every moment of our family getaway. Staying in the villas section was a highlight; the area is stunningly landscaped with relaxing hammocks and a shared pool for the 4 villas that we almost always had entirely to ourselves. It provided a perfect, peaceful atmosphere that felt both safe and incredibly calm. The location is truly unbeatable, sitting just a two-minute walk from a spectacular beach. It was a refreshing contrast to the nearby bustle of Tamarindo, offering a quiet stretch of sand that never felt busy. Our kids had a blast playing in the waves and body surfing, though the surf can get quite intense at times! Beyond the natural beauty, the convenience of the property stood out. The villas were well-equipped for our needs, and we were only a short walk away from a local mini-mart and several great restaurants and food trucks. The hotel staff were consistently helpful, communication was always clear, and we thoroughly enjoyed a delicious lunch at the on-site restaurant. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a convenient yet tranquil retreat.

We stayed in a Villa and I would highly recommend them. They are steps away from the main hotel and resturant but you get a private pool that is only shared with 3 other villas. Housekeeping kept our villa clean the whole time. You are only steps from the beach. It is really the best location to stay in Playa Grande.

Great hotel with great location. They are in the process of updating the property and building what, I think, are private condos, so the overall property is improving. Staff is friendly and fluent in English. Had one run in with an issue due to a door malfunction, and while it was not a positive interaction, in the end, it was resolved amicably. Overall, wonderful location, great people, lovely restaurant with great food and exceptional staff. A great, great property. Critiques would only include small pools, and there are only two; one has been relegated to private access with the property renovation, but Expedia description does not represent that; however, you’re at the ocean. Do you need a big pool? Great place for access to world class waves. Loved my stay despite a one hiccup.

The location and vibe was perfect for us! The room was simple, neat, clean and they honored our request for a room with the couch. The bathrooms could use an update or refresh. They are dated. The restaurant was delicious and a nice surprise in this sleepy town. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Took advantage of yoga which was great. The pools are very small but lots of lounges, hammocks, ping pong and a great lending library! Will definitely return to this sleepy but fabulous town!
