The Grateful Hotel, hotel in Playa Grande

Located in Playa Grande, 200 metres from Grande Beach, The Grateful Hotel provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace.

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.

    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, 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.

    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.

    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!

    This is a super nice place with only 4 rooms. It is super charming close to Playa Grande. The staff are super nice, and we had the best breakfast of our whole trip there with birds visiting us as we ate. There is a private walkway to the beach. The room is really nice with a balcony to enjoy the nature. There is a nice coffee machine in the room as well which is a big plus. There is a cafe attached to the place where you can have snacks and a coffee with beautiful views. Highly recommended.

    We had such an awesome time, wish we had stayed for more than 1 night! Felipe was a great host and was incredibly helpful and welcoming. Pipe House was beautiful. The beds were comfortable and the AC was great to have. Facilities were always clean and so were the common areas. Breakfast was delicious! The beach was less than 1 minute walk away and had few people walking/surfing.

    The hotel has many facilities, it has a small refrigerator, a shared kitchen so you can prepare something quickly. Anyway there are options to eat nearby. Take your own shampoo and conditioner. The staff is very friendly and they help you with any questions you have. The hotel is super close to the beach and has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. We will definitely go back

Super quite place which was nice but 15min walking to the closest beachs There was nothing wrong with my stay, just after it, I think it was not worth the money after have been in 10 hostels/hotels.

    Nice vibe, friendly and helpful staff, good location. Top tip for clean and healthy bowls which is just over 10 mins walk away (or a short drive if you have a car). We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant - it's closed on Wednesdays. The beach is lovely and only a few mins walk from the hotel.

    El Reinas has the friendliest, nicest staff ever. They were really happy to help us with anything we needed and were extremely nice, there is a dog called Dafne and she is so sweet. Also, the hotel has a great location with a 3 minutes walk to the beach.

    Room was wet because of the 99% of humidity INSIDE the room. Absolut lack of staff (no one in there) this is tween hotel from another at 100 meters away. So they manage both hotels with just a few employees.

    beautiful spot where you can unwind. There is a fridge in the tent which is really helpful. I loved everything about this place. It’s a quick 15 mins drive to Tamarindo city center. The beach is very close by.
