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.Jennifer McKayCanada - 6.0Scored 6.0
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 of America - 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.VernCanada - 8.0Scored 8.0

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 of America

- From $88.48 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very GoodRated very good· 952 reviewsThe common area was ideal! Nice pool with a big lounge, resting area, common kitchen, everything you would need! Beach is right beside the corner, huuuge spacious and totally empty! There we were like 10 people on a huge beach during the whole day... We went to Tamarindo for one day and quickly rush back! The staff was extremely lovely and helpful to our every need, one can really feel like in a luxury hotel:) Even though some minor inconviniences in the room, would 100% go back and recommend ❤️DariaPoland
- From $74.58 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 367 reviewsThe property’s location is fabulous. A very easy walk to the beach. It has various outdoor lounging areas that are all comfortable . The rooms are mostly to sleep in, I would say that you don’t try to spend much time in the rooms. The staff is incredible, it makes the hotel stand out. It is run by Enrico and Pameluna, and Vladimir is the next person in charge. Vladimir could not be more attentive, truly great. We took surf lessons with Aitor, and he was fantastic too.
GloriaArgentina - From $62.15 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 289 reviewsGorgeous place to chill out and relax. The pool is lovely and you can just relax in a hammock beside it and read, drink a beer etc. Everyone is really nice in the area, with great food nearby, in a lovely little community. It’s a surf area, very relaxed and full of ‘Pura Vida’. We really enjoyed it. We did go for NYE and had a wicked time at The Grateful down the road. If you want something more party/fun Tamarindo is maybe better though.
BlakeUnited Kingdom - From $139.26 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 313 reviewsA small boutique hotel with lovely gardens and pool. The room was spacious with large bathroom and a kitchen area. The bed was very comfortable. There is a nice open balcony restaurant at the property. Breakfast was an additional fee with my booking.
