" Recientemente me hospedé en este hotel nuevo y bonito, ubicado en una excelente zona de la ciudad. Aunque la estructura es moderna y atractiva, lamentablemente mi experiencia se vio afectada por algunos problemas significativos. La habitación era muy pequeña, lo que fue un poco decepcionante considerando el precio cobrado.

Top Playa Róbalo Hotel Reviews

Villa Gracia

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The home and property were absolutely beautiful and exceptionally well maintained. One of our favorite features was how easy it was to walk to the beach. There’s also a lovely grassy, shaded area near the shoreline that’s perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery. One thing to note is that the property is located within a gated community, and it takes about 10–12 minutes to drive from the main entrance to the house. That said, the peaceful setting is well worth it. We highly recommend this property and would gladly stay here again!"

Playa Avellanas Beach House • Walk to the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The location was great. The place was clean and the AC was cold. The walk to the beach was beautiful. The property was incredible. We saw lots of monkeys and parrots. It’s a great destination if you enjoy surfing and beautiful beaches and sunsets."

Playa Avellanas Treehouse • Walk to the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had an awesome time in this Robinson Caruso style treehouse. We loved how unique and authentic it was and the property was so beautiful. We spent a lot of time enjoying the beach out front. We came here to surf and really enjoyed the offshore winds and beautiful waves. The host was so easy to deal with and was so polite. Everything went so smoothly."

Luxe Resort Villa with Pool, Chef Option, Beach Club Access & Private Concierge

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing stay at George and Blythe’s beautiful home. We had a group of 10 family members across 3 generations that enjoyed every aspect of the house, but especially the outdoor living area. We spent most of our week outside enjoying the pool and all the amenities at the house and the community. The Beach Club was fantastic. But most importantly, the concierge team with Dani leading the charge made our stay even that much better with excellent planning and execution of our daily activities. Amazing stay in this luxurious home. Pura Vida"

The Tides | Beach Club, Housekeeping & Beach Walk!

10/10 Excellent

"LOVED the indoor/outdoor open space of the living areas. Swam in the pool and sat in the sauna every day. Walked down every evening to the small neighborhood beach to watch the sunset. Grilled dinner in the outdoor casita and when we wanted to take surf lessons we headed down to Playa Avellanas. Spent wonderful time at Hacienda Pinilla beach club, which was lovely for swimming, lounging, cocktails and dining. The Vida Pinilla concierge team was excellent and made arrival and activities so easy. So relaxing! Highly recommend The Tides Villa! We’ll be back- Thank you"

Luxury oceanfront villa, full ocean view Hacienda Pinilla, Tamarindo Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"I highly recommend Hacienda Pinilla and Mark's beautiful villa! He was a highly responsive, very accommodating host, and we loved the Hacienda Pinilla amenities - from the nearby pools in Lagos de Palma Real to Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club & Playa Langosta Hacienda Pinilla. Some highlights include seeing howler monkeys in the trees just behind the villa, having dinner at Lola's, and watching sunsets from Las Palapas at HP. The ocean-view villa was well-appointed and so peaceful - a wonderful alternative to the hectic Tamarindo area! "
