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 VND 2,042,068 per night9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 182 reviewsGreat vibe, staff is amazing, incredibly friendly and hard working. Kudos to Rene, Alonso and Esteban for their great service! Very comfortable rooms. We stayed in this same property long time ago, prior it becoming the ONDA, which was very deteriorated, so we were very pleased and surprised with how great and beautiful this place is now. The location is great to walk to the beach and besides the hotel's restaurant, there are a couple of other very close that offer a good variety of food options.
RebecaCosta Rica - From VND 1,035,415 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 361 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 VND 3,054,321 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.
JohnUnited States - From VND 3,652,714 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 374 reviewsJust a few steps from the beautiful yet not so crowded playa grande beach, the hotel has an amazing restaurant with varied food and excellent drinks. The room was big, renovated and with AC. Overall nice facilities with a pool. Laundry service is also offered (paid separately). The hotel helped organize a surf class with a local instructor in English that we really enjoyed. Would definitely go back!
CarolinaCosta Rica - From VND 2,042,068 per night9.1Scored 9.1SuperbRated superb· 182 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?).

It's the perfect place to chill, rest and meeting new people. Nice vibes, such a quiet place and easy to work/study online at the same time. Personal staff is so kind and helpful.

- From VND 2,665,618 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 311 reviewsHotel Cantarana was AMAZING! The place is fantastic, a bit far from Tamarindo center (but that's what we wanted! Calm and peace) The food was OUTSTANDING, we were incredibly impressed. My partner is French and I am Italian so we are fussy about food, this place definitely exceeded our expectations. Coffe machines in the room were the cherry on the cake😉
GaiaUnited Kingdom - From VND 2,106,782 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 127 reviewsThe location is very nice, a stone's throw from a deserted beach. Wonderful sunset. The girls who prepared breakfast for us were very nice and kind. To get to Tamarindo there are little boats that cross the river until 5 pm. Around noon we were able to walk across the river, while in the evening it is not possible because of the high tide.
