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. ...

I told the front desk and they did nothing i was a little upset that they didn’t do anything. I had to go back a second time to let them know ...

Our host was highly responsive. The location was superb! It is rustic but comfortable for people of all ages. We ranged from 81 to 6 years old and had a fabulous time. The ocean was 83 degrees and provided just the right amount of waves for body surfing and our teens to learn to surf. The sunsets ...

Playa grande is a tiny town with maybe 5 places to eat. It’s 40 min to Tamarindo unless you walk down the beach for 10 min to a water taxi- then walk on the other side to the main strip. It’s just too hot to do all that.

5/5 - Excellent

Bring nothing but comfy shoes, particularly ones you can spray off like plastic flip flops or water resistant shoes. We went during the dry season and it was very dusty so we had to spray down our shoes every day.

Go to El Huerto Pizzeria, the best pizza in Guanacaste! Highly recommend it!
