This was the most amazing experience I've ever had on a vacation! The owner made me feel like we were "old friends", and the overall vibe was so laid back and relaxing I felt like I was at a friend's house! The ocean breezes coming across the sand while I was swaying in the hammock on the open air bar...it... More

I have to agree with all the positive comments! After several days in the rain forest we decided to leave our resort in favor of some sun. Upon finding ourselves in Jaco with no place to stay as all hotels were full we stopped into a restaurant for dinner. We asked our server, Raquel if she had any ideas where... More

If you have not tried the new restaurant "The Green Room" , then you are missing one of the nicest surprises in Playa Hermosa. Sunday brunch features huge apple pancakes, fresh tuna steak, typical fare and the best,,,real Eggs Benedict, shirred eggs with a homemade hollandaise sauce on a whole wheat muffin, served with fresh out of the oven banana,...

The Sandpiper is a great experience. Really nice and clean rooms with access to the beach less than fifty feet from the farthest room. A great little cabana fronting the beach with hammocks and a beautiful view to sit and relax. Greg, the owner is super nice and very helpful with arrangements or questions. They have just opened a restaurant... More

My wife and I spent 8 nights (5 at start and 3 at end of trip) at the Sandpiper. What a great place it is!!! A real beach hotel, our room was 30 feet from the sand with a great view. Rooms are quite nice, not luxurious but clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The "vibe" of the hotel is what... More

If you ever need a traditional Costa Rica Surf experience, call Greg Miller. I have known Greg for about 30 years from my cycling/bike racing days and the local Seal Beach area. He owned a local bike shop in Seal Beach and now spends much of his semi-retirement here in CR. He is a straight shooter and turned out to... More

Our family just spent 9.5 days in Costa Rica and most of them were spent at The Sandpiper. I can't begin to explain what an awesome experience we had! Greg and Aaron are phenomenal "hosts" and the place is beyond BEAUTIFUL and RIGHT on the beach. We were traveling with our Autistic/special needs child and this provided a perfect, nonstressful,...

First surf trip to Costa Rica. The owner Greg and Aaron were very helpful - gave us all sorts of tips on where to eat and surf and every place they recommended was excellent. I felt the place was very secure, was nervous about leaving things in the room with everything you hear, but we had no problems - I... More

Greg and his staff were the most gracious hosts. He knows all about Costa Rica and the hideaway spots to go to. From Ziplining to horseback riding you cannot beat the location or the activities that surround the Inn. We recommend the Sandpiper even if your not a surfer because there are so many things to see and do in... More
