Hotel exceeded our expectations. This is a small inn, not a chain hotel. Friendly owners helped us plan our vacation after arrival, including making several phone calls which saved me driving time by determining what is open and closed in off season. Room well maintained, a couple minute walk from almost deserted beach. Restaurant very good, although night waiter seemed... more

We didn't plan on going to Playa Grande, but we are so glad we did. We had planned on staying the whole week in Tamarindo, and didn't really like it.

Food is great. Staff is friendly. We make it a point to have dinner there. Gregory is always helpful. Dave, Annie, and little Maggie are really cool people. I enjoy surfing with Dave. more

Rooms were simple/modern and clean, but could use some upgrades to the bathrooms and matresses. There is little room to store your suitcases. Restaurant service is very personable but Costa... more

The restaurant offers a wide selection of excellent food and drinks at a very fair price. Try the calamari for sure!

This place is great. The staff is super friendly and very helpful with coordinating activities (surfing, fishing, sailing, snorkeling, etc. ) and giving recommendations for other places to visit in Costa Rica. Almost all of them speak English and are very patient and encouraging when you try out your Spanish on them (mine is pretty bad). It is located right... more
