We had a wonderful stay at the inn. Mathew and Natalya were great hosts and directed us to good local guides and restaurants. Our room was very basic (may not have been the best in the inn) but very clean and adequate. Very good value for the money. The sign says good vibrations and that was very true as we quickly felt at home with our hosts and the other guests.

Mathew and Nathalia were wonderful hosts. They spent a lot of time answering our questions and directing us to activities that suited our needs. The room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was served every morning and was delicious. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the beach and walking distance to several restaurants and a small shop. There is also a great surf shop that offers equipment and lessons nearby. I would definitely recommend the Indra Inn to anyone staying in Playa Grande.

The hosts Matt and Natalia were extremely helpful in providing information on things to do, places to eat. They made me feel comfortable in a foreign surrounding.

Incredible - we were sad to leave! The entire place feels like home, as this family run business makes a point of it to make sure you are welcomed with a smile. Would love to return one day!

Matt and Natalia are welcoming. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable. The area is incredible and you have all you need with walking distance. I will stay here again if I get back to the area

Accueil agréable, gentillesse du personnel, bon déjeuner.. Tranquille et silencieux même si près de la route. Plusieurs restaurants dans le voisinage . Bons conseils sur les plages à voir dans le secteur...

The rooms are decent, comfy, and clean. There is hot water and a good wifi signal. The hotel is in a walking distance to the beach. The staff is friendly and very helpful. If you are in the area, go and visit Granada and Ometepe Island, in Nicaragua. You won't regret. We did it! The owner gave us the info and explained us how to get there. We did not try the breakfast because we left early. The only thing is that we had to wait around 4 hours to check in, but we walked around the area. I recommend this hotel.

The family who own this hotel is very nice, they gave us really god tips for our holiday. The beach is at 10 minutes walk. The breakfast is good. You have a kitchen to cook. The bedroom and the bathroom are very clean (hot shower). Many activities around the hotel (surf lesson, skydiving...). Thank you Indra Inn for the welcoming !

Playa Grande is a beautiful beach and Indra Inn is a wonderful place to stay. Very nice, comfortable and peaceful accommodations. Free wifi, breakfast, parking and help with tours and activities. A very short walk to the beach, surf shops, activities, and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Matthew and Natalia (the owners) are awesome hosts! Super friendly, and very helpful with everything. The breakfast is big enough that we didn't need to eat lunch every day. Food is a little expensive in Costa Rica, so that is a huge added value. The location is central to most things we wanted to do. Even though we had a car, we ended up walking most of the time to the beach, local restaurants for dinner, and some activities. We enjoyed the Playa Grande area with its perfect mix of quiet and things to do. We took surf lessons, canoed the estuary, and explored the beach. There are several monkeys that show up next door at the surf shop each afternoon to be fed. Quite a show! We enjoyed visiting with the other guests as well. We drove to Tamarindo (25 minutes) to check out that very touristy area, but were so glad we stayed at the quieter Indra Inn instead. We're looking forward to going back someday. Muchas gracias Matthew, Natalia, and little Dante!

I recently stayed at the Indra Inn for a total of 9 nights as a solo traveller and I didn't feel lonely at all. The owners Matt and Natalia will help you feel welcomed as soon as you step through the entrance and are always willing to go out of their way to assist you with whatever you may need. The room was clean and the property very well maintained. The inn is also very close to the beach (around a 10 min walk) and there are some good restaurants close by that offer great food for a decent price. All in all, it was a great experience and I will definitely go back for my next trip in Playa Grande, if only to see Marshmallow again, the princess of the Indra inn.

Wow... didn't know what to expect heading to the coast, or Costa Rica in general, but the Indra Inn really took the cake. Matt and Natalia were so amazingly nice and friendly, true to form creating a communal environment where we spoke regularly with them, their adorable son and other guests throughout the day and our entire stay. While Playa Grande is much quieter than Tamarindo (a wonderfully long beach walk away), there are plenty of places to eat, local surf shops and tours (which you can also arrange at Indra) and the Inn offers a homemade "typical" breakfast with great hours for late sleepers.

Nice place to stay with amazing owners and the cutest little boy. The breakfast is outstanding! The bed could use a little padding and a blanket. An oversheet isn't enough for the night.

Friendly staff. Nothing like what we expected from the description and photos. Not our most comfortable stay...

This lodge looks great from the outside but its disgustingly dirty from inside. They have centipedes all over the floor, spiders everywhere from under the sink, on the curtains, on the bed and scorpion behind the bed. They need to really step up their cleanliness. The staff was alright, a little helpful but very mean and not understanding when we didn't want to live in a bug infested room and risk getting bit by the scorpion. The guy in charge said they get scorpions often and people get bitten all the time. Im sorry but i dont like putting my family and my life at risk to get bitten by a poisonous scorpion. I understand its Costa Rica and having a few bugs is normal but its NOT normal to have those bugs in the room. Im playing to stay inside the lodge or I would camp in the rainforest. Book rooms at your own risk.
