The staff was amazing. The room had a lot of ants, so much so I slept with the kitchen light on and there was no coffee in the morning anywhere until 8am. But it’s close to the beach and remote for a getaway.

Good property conditions with recent renovations but main issue is the night dinners as there’s is only one seating time which demands to show up at 5:30pm for the line to have chance to find a seat

Great spot to stay in Playa Grande
Casa Linda Vista was a great place to stay for our family in Playa Grande. Very private and serene, walking distance to the beach, on a hill with nice views and ocean breezes. Kai was a great host and we would definitely recommend staying here.

9/10 Wonderful! (90 reviews)
The place is beautiful, very close to the beaches, it is also very clean. The only concern I have is that I didn't have hot water to bath. I had to stay 2 days and I couldn't take a shower with hot water and I didn't like that

Verified traveler
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.
