We just loved it! The rooms are so nice, new and clean.
The staff is super friendly!
Also the location is great, close to the beach and they have restaurant downstairs, with great food for great price (with vegan options, which we loved).

Williams

Exceptional, situated in a tropical garden in the grounds of a private gated estate.
A short walk to a quiet beach perfect for swimming and surfing.
The in-house cuisine was excellent with fresh seafood and meat with the crunchiest freshest vegetables I’ve ever eaten. 10/10.
Each night they had live music which was a massive bonus. The music wasn’t loud and in your face, more a perfect in harmony with the environment and the guests.
One last thing is the guests, a really interesting eclectic mix of people with a really friendly and interesting outlook.

FAQs about hotels in Playa Grande
What guests said about Playa Grande:
- 10Scored 10
Playa grande was such a relaxing place.
Playa grande was such a relaxing place. The beach sunsets were amazing! Took an estuary tour with Luis right off the beach - private tour for 2 was only $70 and we saw crocodiles, monkeys and amazing birds. Tamarindo is a fun day trip (taking the water taxi, or asking to be dropped off there after the boat tour). There is a cool food truck court at the end and behind the beach that has an iguana walking about. Tamarindo was nice if you like lots of people and lots of bar and food choices but playa grande was so much more chill of a spot. Loved it and will be back! Cantarana cafe had the best coffee and almond croissants and dinner upstairs was really good. Servers for breakfast and dinner were fabulous! The Tortuga was a great spot - with the most delicious fish bites I’ve ever had! Cafe Mar Azul was so much fun- Sunday night entertainment needs a reservation. Such a good price for amazing fish dinners.

Playa Grande is perfect for running or walking on the beach,...
Playa Grande is perfect for running or walking on the beach, however not for swimming, snorkeling or floating. On the other side of Playa Grande (crossing the river) there is Tamarindo, a crazy town full of tourists with its own long beach. If you are looking for a laid back place, Tamarindo is NOT where you want to be. Lots of traffic and tons of people walking in the streets and hanging around. Can't imagine what is like in high season. Stores have beautiful clothes but they are pretty expensive. Definitely a surfing town, everyone walks with a board under their arm...lol.SaadiaPuerto Rico - 10Scored 10
Location, beautiful beach , facilities and great bed !
Location, beautiful beach , facilities and great bed ! Lovely responsive employees! Restaurant next door offered excellent food . Not sure why everything had to be paid in cash eg car rides, trips etc . That was inconvenient. One has to have cash on hand as most business was done that way. However we were told only in “ low” season. The location was small and intimate and easy to access by foot. A car wasn’t always needed.CCeciliaUnited States - 10Scored 10
Beautiful beach line. Great for surfing and boogie boarding.
Beautiful beach line. Great for surfing and boogie boarding. Trees at the beach provide plenty of shade. Long and picturesque shore line is excellent to walk in the morning or at dawn hours. Amazing sunsets.

Nice quiet area.
Nice quiet area. A limited but good selection of eating places nearby. the beach is great for walking, swimming or riding a bike. It does not have shade trees on the beach. Lots of different birds. Go to Hotel El Manglar to book mangrove estuary boat tour. it is very good. Playa Grande is much quieter than Tamarindo but it is about 40 minute drive if you want to go to Tamarindo.

I liked the area, which is a very long beach near the national park. Note that access can be limited, as it is a very bumpy and unpaved road from the national park entrance to the villas at the end of the peninsula towards Tamarindo. Beach was fine enough to walk in - lots of shells and surfers. Water wasn't cold, but wasn't totally warm either, comfortable temperature to walk. If you walk down to the end of the peninsula, water taxis that are only $2 will take you over to Tamarindo, so in the end it's nice to be a bit secluded away from the action, yet still have access to shopping and entertainment if you need it. Just wave to the guys at the other end!FlorenceUnited States

- From £95.60 per night9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 20 reviewsVery quiet, romantic location not far from some very good local restaurants, micro breweries, coffee shops, fruit stands, etc., and a short drivee to Playa Grande. Beautifully landscaped property with a perfect infinity pool. You are basically staying in a treehouse with modern amenities. Playa Grande is a very laid back alternative place to stay if you want to be away from the crazy hustle and bustle of touristy Tamarindo, although Tamarindo can be fun.

- From £72.02 per night9.4Scored 9.4SuperbRated superb· 316 reviewsThe Glamping is situated away from the very touristic places. It is very quiet and has an extremely nice garden - like a paradise oasis. Our cabin was large and very comfortable, with lots of open space - but all hidden behind exotic trees and plants. The shower under open sky was great! A wide beach (Playa Grande) can be reached by car in 5 minutes. It's huge and great for surfing with almost no people.
Hans-PeterSwitzerland - From £63.92 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 178 reviewsThe place is modern and new. The WiFi is really really fast and reliable, there was a desk in the room which allowed productive work and meetings. The room was clean. The staff was very nice and friendly. The food at the restaurant was good although a bit high price-wise (maybe have for hotel guests a discount or something so that I as a guest staying here have some motivation to consume here?).
